Active-MN date-filter POST returned HTTP 400; all-dates retry succeeded (200), then local seven-day filtering retained 5 of 5 active MN lots, all closing Oct 2. Vantage vehicle and shuttle bus are in Saint Paul; AMC M810, mobile home and fire apparatus in Willow River. These categories are outside the portable-surplus priority, not economically rejected. No October 3 close in returned inventory. API state/location screening completed; the attempted filtered browser route failed and Search Auctions opened nationwide results, so independent filtered-UI confirmation was not completed. No GSA lot deeply appraised.

Other inventory, including a separate controls lot, not deeply appraised. No quantity multiplication or NEW-label valuation.

Fresh current-event index plus four catalog entry pages checked: Ballwin pharmaceutical development starts Sept 28 and closes Sept 29; Ensurge/San Jose Sept 29–30; Formula To Factory/Orange Sept 30–Oct 1. Current catalog date fields establish future starts; hidden open/closed HTML templates are not lot status. Zai Lab/San Diego browser explicitly says Bidding opens in, with Oct 1–2 dates. Hanover index advertises Sept 28–29, not lot-appraised. No actionable live bid established in these future-start catalogs; no freight readiness inferred. Index-listed already-open San Jose sale ends Oct 7, outside this window. No October 3 close seen in this bounded index/catalog check.

Fresh six list pages (today/tomorrow/unfiltered, pages 1–2), 100 event-close checks and 516 in-window featured links. The date/radius list filters surfaced remote events, so they are hints only. Fully paginated local Savage 66640 (910 lots, today) and Golden Valley 66737 (200 lots, Oct 1): 1110 catalog lots with advertised counts reconciled. Savage low-priced consumer/returns titles were screened first; seller retail estimates are not comps. 66617 address is International Falls, not a manageable Minneapolis-area pickup; catalog was not expanded. Other catalogs remain partial. No Oct 3 event-close found in the bounded list scan. Bosch exact page/premium/removal/full gallery refreshed; browser 403, native HTTP succeeded.
Cross-day refresh audit
No prior same-day report existed at invocation. All four September 26 leads were reused only as seeds and reopened by exact source ID. All remain active leads, with no promotion or removal. Lab-Line Imperial II Incubator: previous $2.00, refreshed $2.00, next $3.00; Bosch GRL800-20HV Rotary Laser Level Kit With Tripod: previous $26.00, refreshed $56.05, next $57.05; 60 - CISCO 8845 PHONES: previous $50.00, refreshed $50.00, next $50.00; LIKE NEW, LOT OF CERTIFIED POWER CONTROL SYSTEMS PLOW CONTROLS: previous $50.00, refreshed $50.00, next $50.00. Bosch has a higher bid; unresolved test/calibration, resale and logistics checks still prevent buy approval. New-day window extends through October 3; discovery filters and returned event/lot dates were checked for that newly admitted day. No October 3 close was found in the bounded responses, not proof of exhaustive coverage.
Evidence and screening policy
Sixteen newly downloaded photos reviewed: incubator 3, Bosch 5, Cisco 2, CPC controls 6. Browser visual checks completed for incubator and both MN Bid lots; K-BID browser returned 403 while native HTML/full gallery succeeded. Four actual-lot thumbnails included. Photos do not prove heating performance, calibration, 60 working phones or a complete control system.
Market limitations: managed search unavailable (provider unconfigured); Bosch eBay search HTTP 403 and Brave alternative HTTP 429. Lab World Group Imperial II search returned no matching products. Exact Cisco dealer page reopened at $139.99 like-new ASK, not a realized sale or bulk valuation. Controls require readable exact-part-number labels first. No resale values, profits, multiples or Hard Bid Caps are invented. The missing checks above are prerequisites, not evidence these investments fail.
Ready-to-bid gate: conservative resale/all-in ≥ 3.0 and gross profit ≥ $250; bid basis max(current/opening, $100), verified actual premium, 0% tax and required logistics. Maximum all-in=min(resale/3, resale−$250); hammer ceiling=(maximum all-in−logistics)/(1+premium), rounded down along source-valid bid increments. Next permissible bid must not exceed the Hard Bid Cap. Exactly 3.0× is Medium/edge: No bid advance; unmodeled costs can break the gate. Selling fees are not subtracted from gross profit.
Local pickup requires verified removal permission/deadline, dimensions/weight, vehicle capacity, loading help and collection plus later resale packing/shipping costs; user vehicle/labor capacity is not assumed. No automatic $500/pallet charge for local collection. Carrier freight requires secured pallet/crate/wrap readiness, $500/pallet freight plus packing/handling. National HGP parcel sourcing requires a realistic third-party pack/ship allowance. No bids or purchases made.
