      Which items should I choose for my pick 5?

      Learn how to select the best pick 5 to ensure optimal page traffic and clicks!

       

      The pick 5 section allows sellers to choose 5 of their best lots. AuctionNinja's team then takes 3 out of the 5 images and creates the 3 square auction preview. 


      Here are THREE key qualities you should keep in mind when selecting the pick 5: 

      1. Aesthetics
        1. Bright, colorful and clean items can increase the value of your sale. 
      2. Value
        1. Put your best foot forward--make sure you're selecting the highest value lots in your sale. 
      3. Photography
        1. Make sure that the photo is well lit, but also ensure that it can. be cropped into a square. Selecting long and thin photos will not work for the auction preview due to the template size. 

       

      Here are examples of successful 3 square auction previews: 

       

       

      • High value lots are front and center.
      • The lots displayed are clean and well presented. 
      • Showing off furniture, decorative lighting, and artwork displays the variety of goods for sale. 

       

      • Sellers can always use a photo of the home (assuming they have the consignor/home owner's permission and permission from the listing agency/the owner of the photo).
      • This photo shows two in demand, high value lots.
      • Color and lighting play a huge role in asserting this sale's aesthetic value. 
      • The lots are clean and staged.
