Notes / coverage limits
Current event discovery checked 17 events. Three close dates fell in-window: Sept 27, 28 and 30. Blank/lab/electronics/new bounded first-page queries returned 231 distinct lot IDs; not exhaustive catalogs. Sept 27 furniture catalog screened first; no buy-ready row established, not an economic rejection of its contents. Incubator exact item/event and all three photos refreshed; remains a lead at $2, next $3 because model, test, value and costed local removal remain unresolved.

City of St. Louis Park listing: good-to-fair used phones with handsets and cables; CUCM 14-and-above compatibility stated. Pickup deadline, loading support and release arrangements require confirmation with seller. Local collection selected; no assumed user vehicle or labor capacity. | Seller describes 60 Cisco 8845 phones, good-to-fair, with handsets/cables and CUCM 14+ compatibility. Two actual photos show a sample phone and loose phones in a carton; quantity and working count are not independently proved. Browser confirms $50 and no bids. Exact VoIP Supply CP-8845-K9-VSRF like-new dealer ASK reopened at $139.99 per phone; not a sold price or a valuation of this bulk lot. Exact dealer active ask (not sold) Live lot / gallery evidence | Valuation not established for this lot. Verify count, exact part numbers/enterprise versus MPP firmware, factory reset/provisioning eligibility, camera/display/PoE operation, stands, handsets/cables and failure rate. Do not multiply the dealer ask by the unverified 60 count. Need carton count/total weight, loading and vehicle capacity, pickup deadline/cost, testing effort and later parcel packing/shipping. | Request inventory/model-label photos and sample PoE/registration tests; verify transfer/reset permissions and contents. Obtain local collection and resale packing costs, then compare actual used enterprise-firmware bulk pricing, discounted from tested like-new retail asks. |
 | LIKE NEW, LOT OF CERTIFIED POWER CONTROL SYSTEMS PLOW CONTROLS ID 16239 | $50.00 Displayed/opening; no bids in browser history Next permitted: $50.00 Stated reserve: $150; not an award at $50.

Seller states worked when uninstalled and everything pictured included. Stated reserve $150: displayed $50 is not evidence of an obtainable award. Pickup deadline, release authorization and loading assistance not established. | Six current actual photos show removed CPC-branded red/yellow/blue modules, three joysticks, control panel, dark display and tangled wiring. Labels and connectors require closer inspection. Seller calls it like new and worked when uninstalled; these are claims, not a present functional test. Specialty replacement-control parts may merit resale research, without assuming a complete working plow-control system. Live lot / gallery evidence | Valuation not established. Verify exact module/display part numbers, software/vehicle compatibility, wiring continuity, connectors and bench operation. Reconcile NEW condition field with removed-used description. Confirm $150 reserve, total dimensions/weight, pickup deadline, suitable vehicle/help/cost and downstream protective packing/shipping. | Request readable module labels, removal history, wiring diagram and a powered bench-test video. Obtain exact used-part comps and a costed collection/packing plan before considering any bid. |

Search returned 216 records, with 120 future Central close timestamps inside Sept 26–Oct 2. This is a date-filtered inventory count, not an appraisal count. Exact final details refreshed for Cisco 16201 and newly screened plow controls 16239; both remain leads. Their canonical browser pages and all eight actual photos reviewed. Plow controls add an Oct 2 opportunity that was outside yesterday’s window; the stated $150 reserve is prominent. No wholesale valuation inferred from title quantities or NEW labels.

Notes / coverage limits
National parcel/carrier-freight exception retained. Current index and four catalog entry pages checked. Humanwell/Ballwin (Sept 29 close), Ensurge/San Jose (Sept 30), and Formula To Factory/Orange (Oct 1) all explicitly say auction has not started, with Sept 28/29/30 starts respectively. Zai Lab/San Diego (Oct 2 close) returned a thin native shell, but the live browser showed Oct 1–2 dates, bidding opens in 4d 21h 52m, Local Pickup Only and 214 lots. No actionable current/opening bid established for these not-yet-open catalogs. Hanover was index-only and also advertises a Sept 28 start/Sept 29 close. No live HGP finalist verified; these are coverage notes, not invented rejected lot rows or unsupported freight-ready claims. Other dates remain outside the window.

Inspection by appointment. Removal Oct 3, 10 AM–4 PM or Oct 6, 5–8 PM, by appointment; no alternate days guaranteed. Buyer must bring suitable vehicle/tools/help. Shipping requests are possible but unquoted; local pickup is the modeled intended handling mode. | All five current actual photos reviewed: Bosch rotary laser, fitted case, tripod, receiver and mounting parts. Plate reads GRL800-20HV, 3601K61M10, 06/2019, serial 906101391. Dust/scuffs visible; no powered or calibration test. Browser returns 403, but warmed native lot HTML and every actual gallery image succeeded. A cased surveying tool worth condition-specific follow-up. Live lot / gallery evidence | Valuation not established. Listing transcription says 3601K61N10 and serial 90610391; photo reads 3601K61M10 and 906101391. Resolve these discrepancies. Need laser/receiver operation, leveling accuracy/calibration, battery-compartment corrosion and accessory inventory checks. Obtain packed dimensions/weight, collection vehicle/help/cost and later case/tripod packing/shipping costs. | Arrange inspection or seller video plus readable label and battery-compartment photos; verify receiver/accessories and calibration. Obtain exact-condition used-kit prices and collection/outbound packing costs before bidding. |

Six list pages: today/tomorrow/unfiltered, pages 1–2; 100 event-close checks and 516 in-window featured links, used as hints only. Fully paginated Ham Lake 66679 (193 lots, tonight) and Golden Valley 66737 (200 lots, Oct 1): 393 catalog lots, near-term first. Ham Lake consumer/return inventory produced no established buy-ready candidate; its seller retail estimates are not comps. Kensington 65336 received address-level screening only (11 Pacific Street East, Kensington MN); distance/logistics not resolved and not classified as a failed investment. Other catalogs partial. Bosch exact lot HTML, premium/removal and full gallery refreshed; bid now $26 versus $5 yesterday, next $27. Native HTTP succeeded, browser fingerprint returned 403.
Refresh audit
No earlier same-day report existed. Three Sept 25 seeds were reopened by exact source ID and current identity, close, location, bids and galleries rebound. All remain leads: incubator $2 unchanged, Cisco $50 opening unchanged, Bosch $5 → $26 (next $27). Plow controls 16239 newly added as a lead, not promoted to ready. No old photos or report dates were relabeled as fresh.
Evidence and investment policy
Sixteen fresh actual-unit photos reviewed: incubator 3, Cisco 2, plow controls 6 and Bosch 5. Browser visual review completed for incubator and both MN Bid lots; K-BID browser blocked, native HTML/gallery succeeded. All four published thumbnails are actual-lot images. No photo proves testing, calibration, a complete plow system or 60 working phones.
Market sweep: managed search unavailable (provider unconfigured); Bosch eBay search 403 and Brave alternative 429; Lab World Group Imperial II search returned no matching products. Accessible exact Cisco dealer page reopened at $139.99 like-new asking price, NOT a realized sale. No defensible numerical lot resale value established. Controls require model labels before an exact-model comp can be established. No invented valuation, profit, multiple or bid cap.
Ready-to-bid gate remains conservative resale / all-in ≥ 3.0 and gross profit ≥ $250, with minimum $100 bid basis, actual premium, 0% tax, supported collection/packing/shipping costs and a source-valid Hard Bid Cap covering the next permitted bid. No automatic $500 pallet charge for local pickup. Carrier freight would require secured handling units and $500 per pallet plus packing/logistics. Local pickup still requires suitable vehicle/help and downstream resale packing/shipping; these costs remain unresolved. No bids or purchases were made.
