I’d been craving something just like it. For the past three years or so I’ve dreamed of going to Brimfield, a town in Massachusetts that’s known for hosting the on the east coast. It’s vintage home goods for miles, literally, and I want to wake up at the crack of dawn, as one does, to find rare Ettore Sottsass ashtrays and cheap mid-century modern dressers that would sell for $900 at any Williamsburg vintage shop. But I don’t have a car and it’s three hours from my house and it’s a schlep I haven’t yet committed to.So instead, I’ve been on an endless hunt for online alternatives. Once, I found a perfect Instagram account called that I quickly fell in love with.

But to actually buy anything you have to be the first to DM back with your email address and zip code, and the past few months of Instagram’s algorithm adjustments have ruined the premise — I just don’t see the stuff right when it’s posted anymore. EBTH, as we call it, is the answer I’ve been looking for. Founded in 2008 by two Ohio-based antique lovers with the goal of easing the end of life process, it's ultimately a startup that hosts online estate sales. When someone needs to clear out a recently deceased parent's house house, they’ll call EBTH, who will send people over to photograph everything they’re ready to part with, and upload it onto their website. From there, the bidding begins.The site’s aesthetic is a mix between Casper and AARP — easily digestible cartoon tutorials, but also a toll free number if you need it — and its offerings match that spread. Very little is dedicated to the universal standard of “good taste” that dominates most other online platforms.

Two sisters seek help settling their aunt's estate and are assisted by auction experts to identify value for each item.

And for gym teachers who prefer silver, like a. There’s a available right now, but I also once saw a. The truth is that a lot of it comes from Ohio, so the shipping can be insane, but EBTH, for me, has become more about the browsing than the shopping. Watching what ends up on there is like a virtual scroll through lifetimes, browsing and wondering about possessions and collections, confronting death while also looking for good deals. 'Celebrating the past and conserving out future,' they call it. While Craiglist is majority trash and eBay slowly transforms itself into Amazon, EBTH feels like the only e-commerce site left that’s presented by real people, not algorithms, and for that reason it’s actually interesting and surprising.Why, you might ask yourself, would one need?

Am I the kind of person that might also collect something like that? It’s also a forum to teach yourself about past inventions. I recently spotted a “” for camping. Why did those never become more popular? For the fancier among us there are also.

As I am writing this, I am a current employee. I have a meeting in the next couple minutes that will determine my fate. But after two years, title changes, and no raise this is not a surprise to those of us working at EBTH.But I fully agree with what is said here. We were told that a new CEO had stepped up, from Zipcar, and that Andy had stepped down to pursue a role as producer on the HGTV show that they were hoping to make about how the company ran its sales on a day to day basis.It has been told to us that we are closing at least 11 markets throughout the country taking us down to just 8 total. When I started we had 27 or something markets and have slowly been dwindling.

As for the employees it has only been rumors and hearsay but I had heard around 40% of employees in the whole company will lose their jobs after a 60 day wind down period.The way the higher ups have ruined this company is amazing. I am one of the few that remember when it started and now seeing this is heartbreaking for everyone involved and shows how poor management can ruin things. The CEO, CFO, and COO had next to no clue how to run this company and because they were given money to just throw around this is how it is ending up. Even if I am one of the lucky (or unlucky) few that isn't laid off I will be looking to get out of there as soon as possible.For anyone not familiar with the company take a little time and look up what they do and help spread the word of how mismanaged this place was. Upvote this thread for people on the subreddit to see. I am surprised to see it here because this company always told us not to spill any information before it was publicly released.

Which maybe it has been I'm not sure at this moment.Thank you OP for posting this. Those of us still with the company surely won't be giving it any praises after this next week is all said and done.tl;dr Fuck the people that think throwing money around is a way to grow a company instead of learning efficient ways to grow. I still doubt the tax credit played a huge role in the decision to invest in the company but I appreciate you providing a source. I just think that there is a misguided perception that every time there is a tax break deal, it’s always a bad deal for the public. A lot of the time, there are safeguards put in place such as claw backs. Also, municipalities and states will use an ROI formula to make sure that the deal pays for itself in a short period of time due to the sheer number of new employee paying a state income tax. I know that is the case for a lot of JobsOhio deals.

Every state in the country uses these types of incentives. Even ultra business friendly states like Texas.

It’s just the name of the game these days and ensures we stay competitive. From what I could tell, they were too hyper focused on growth.

All of that VC money is the cross they died on because they had to constantly be growing to justify the investment.While sales grew, overhead grew higher. They opened a 200,000 sqft warehouse and tried to centralize their processing. What ended up happening is all of these low value items that people used to be able to pick up in the local markets suddenly had higher shipping costs than what customers were paying for the actual item. They could never wrap their heads around it and actively avoided the issue.

More items went unsold and loyal customers abandoned the platform.They also were obsessed with being a cool tech company. They ignored the boring, hard stuff like customer service and shipping.

One of the last big tech launches was an Apple TV app. A fucking Apple TV app.There’s a lot of other stuff too, but that’s what I can come up with off the top of my head.

I saw an art print on EBTH once I really, really wanted. The auction was based out of NC, I think, but the actual items were in a warehouse in Blue Ash. I called and asked if I could just pick the item up from the warehouse since I’m local in Cincy. Nope, I’d have to pay $30-something dollars to have a $20 item shipped 15 minutes to me. As the guy explained this to me on the phone, I found a similar item on Amazon for about the same price with free two-day shipping (from Texas, no less) and purchased it instead by the time I hung up the phone.
