Government auction and surplus alerts

There is money in surplus and liquidation auctions, but only if you can scan thousands of lots and price them honestly. DealWatch watches the auction sites, estimates value against sold comps, and alerts you when the math works.

Sound familiar? The mill sold under comps on a Sunday, and you saw the lot on Friday and forgot it. See that situation.

What it watches

GovDeals GSA Auctions Public Surplus BidSpotter HiBid sold-price comps

Each lot is scored against comparable sold prices, then adjusted for buyer fees, freight, and condition caveats. You set the margin threshold and the categories you know how to handle.

Alerts include the lot, the current bid, the comp basis, and your estimated margin after costs, so you can bid with a number instead of a feeling.

Can you alert me only on high-margin lots?
