Use left-to-right flow: intake -> triage -> photo -> route.

Keep premium items close to checkout.

Use signs to reduce buyer confusion and repetitive questions.

Protect the Working Table

The triage table is your engine. Keep it clear by routing items instantly to defined zones and never back into mixed piles.

Place furniture and tools where buyers see them early, group category tables clearly, and make checkout visible and easy to access.

Define closeout bins before sale day: relist, markdown, donate, discard. This avoids post-sale paralysis.

Keep Momentum
