Collection and downstream packing/shipping not yet costed. | Bulk video phones; count, firmware/reset and tested working count unresolved. Seller describes 60 used Cisco 8845 phones, good-to-fair, with handsets/cables and CUCM 14+ compatibility. Both current actual photos reviewed: sample phone and loose phones in a carton. Not proof of 60 complete working phones. Exact CP-8845-K9-VSRF like-new VoIP Supply dealer ASK reopened at $139.99 each; not a sold price or a valuation of this bulk lot. Exact Cisco dealer ASK: $139.99 refurbished/like-new CP-8845-K9-VSRF, reopened during final refresh. Not sold evidence or a bulk-lot per-unit valuation. | Valuation not established for this lot.

Seven actual photos reviewed: Gamber-Johnson 7160-0790-03 Rev P labels and multiple docks with Getac power adapters, bagged parts and boxes. Havis-branded reused cartons do not mean new Havis equipment. Photos do not individually document all eight working units or all keys/mounting hardware.

Five actual photos reviewed: HP front panel and analog meters, asset marking 9401, controls, metal enclosure, side handles and orange mains cord. Dust, scuffs and aged finish visible. No powered output test or internal inspection shown; missing internal parts cannot be ruled out. | Valuation not established.

Do not assume a desktop instrument is light enough for one-person handling. |

auctionmasters.com
18 event details checked; 391 distinct search lot IDs. Four active in-window events: Bloomington Oct 5, Blaine and Maple Grove Oct 6, Falcon Heights Oct 7. Broad/targeted item discovery is bounded, not fully paginated appraisal. Both retained leads rebound to current exact IDs, active event state, address, close, applicable 18% premium and removal terms.
grafeauction.com
24 upcoming records checked. In-window timed events: Stillwater OK Oct 1, Chicago IL Oct 6, Coventry RI Oct 7. These verified addresses are not Minneapolis-nearby; Stillwater OK is not Stillwater MN. No geographically eligible timed event reached lot appraisal. Later Minnesota events and special offers are outside this closing window.
gsaauctions.gov
Date-filtered active-MN POST returned HTTP 400. All-dates active-MN fallback returned HTTP 200, five records and one total page; local seven-day filter retained five Oct 2 closes. Inventory was Vantage vehicle, shuttle bus, AMC M810, mobile home and fire apparatus. No portable lab/electronics shortlist from bounded triage; no individual rendered-close or condition appraisal completed. This is not a proven investment rejection. 0% buyer premium and 0% tax policy preserved.
mnbid.mn.gov
186 search records; 138 future Central closes inside Oct 1–7 at discovery. Three retained leads plus one new documented-condition rejection refreshed with single-product responses, exact agency addresses and UTC-to-Central close conversion. Cisco rendered page also confirmed identity, $55 bid and Oct 1 10:10 AM close. Other inventory received title/category triage rather than exhaustive valuation. CPC $150 and Gamber-Johnson $600 reserves remain material: $50 displayed openings do not establish obtainable purchases.
hgpauction.com
National parcel/carrier-freight exception retained. Orange: 43 distinct lot links extracted, with Retsch lot 135 refreshed by exact UUID and all five photos downloaded/reviewed. It remains a mixed-gallery hold: four shaker views, missing sieve stack/clamping hardware, plus an unrelated stainless-table photo; no verified packing/collection plan or resale valuation. Zai Lab: 214 of 214 catalog records obtained; all returned isNotYetLive=true at the morning snapshot, before its advertised Oct 1 9 AM CDT opening. Not represented as live bids. Its Oct 2 close is within scope and warrants a later post-opening check. Cabinet sale first page only: 60 links, large material lots; pagination incomplete and catalog Oct 6 versus event-index Oct 7 timing unresolved. San Jose RC Brown Oct 7 event verified; linked Rabin/BidSpotter catalog returned empty HTTP 202, preventing lot-level appraisal. An earlier reused URL resolved to already-closed Humanwell Sept 29, not RC Brown, and was discarded. No HGP ready or lead table rows approved; no claim of exhaustive national appraisal.

Six native list pages (today/tomorrow/unfiltered, pages 1–2); 100 event-close checks; 450 distinct featured in-window links. Fully paginated selected events 66737 Golden Valley (200 lots), 66610 Golden Valley (304) and 66665 Minneapolis (34); 538 total with advertised counts reconciled. All other events limited to featured-link/date triage. Three selected live leads refreshed by exact canonical routes, current/next bids, address, 15% premiums and removal terms. K-BID browser returns 403; native cookie-session pages and complete image galleries succeeded. Two previous-day UMN instrument leads reopened and retired after verified Sept 30 closes.
HGP evidence: Retsch exact lot 135, mixed-gallery hold · Zai Lab catalog, check again after opening · RC Brown event, catalog access limited. None is an approved purchase.
Visual scope: all 8 lead galleries and the one rejected fixture gallery were freshly downloaded and reviewed in full; 9 actual-unit thumbnails localized. Cisco and Tobias received rendered browser visual confirmation. K-BID browser returned 403 on the NanoDrop page; native exact pages and downloaded images supplied evidence for its three leads. HGP Retsch full-gallery review supplied the mixed-photo hold. No stock imagery used as proof of current condition.
Comparable research: managed web search is unconfigured. Exact Bosch, Tobias and NanoDrop alternatives were attempted: Brave returned 429; eBay returned 403; Bing RSS returned mostly generic brand/family pages rather than exact priced item evidence. LabX family discovery loaded, but its exact ND-1000 item returned 403, so no price from that search page is adopted. Boston University confirms ND-1000 application identity, not resale price. Cisco’s exact dealer asking page reopened successfully; refurbished retail condition cannot be multiplied by unverified bulk quantity. Other exact-condition comps remain incomplete. No failed URL, search snippet or active ask is represented as a realized sale.
Discovery and deep-dive are frozen to protect final refresh, validation, deployment and public verification. No seller/packer contacted, inspection arranged, loading help booked or carrier quote obtained. All six sources received fresh bounded discovery, not exhaustive seven-day appraisal. Source failures and unresolved mixed-gallery identity are not fabricated economic rejections.
Authoritative economics / handling policy for any later promotion
B = max(current/opening bid, $100); p = actual buyer premium (GSA and MN Bid 0%); L = required logistics. All-in = B × (1+p) + L, with 0% sales tax. Require conservative resale R/all-in ≥ 3.0 and R − all-in ≥ $250. Selling fees are not deducted from this gross-profit measure; net sensitivity must be separate. Maximum all-in = min(R/3, R−$250); hammer ceiling = (maximum all-in−L)/(1+p). Round down along the valid live source bid sequence for Hard Bid Cap and compare next required bid. Exactly 3.0× is Medium/edge: No bid advance; unmodeled costs can break the gate.
Local pickup uses supported collection costs, not automatic $500-per-pallet freight. Verify size/weight, access, loading, vehicle/help, deadlines and costs. Carrier freight requires secured pallet/crate/wrap evidence plus $500/pallet and required handling. HGP national parcel requires realistic third-party packing/collection allowances and confirmed feasibility. Downstream eBay packing/shipping is required even with local collection. No current lead is financially approved.
