Field notes
The described intake runs from pallet purchase through triage, parts sourcing, bench repair, grading, and a $1 opening bid. A four-grade rubric separates opened-box goods from repaired pieces, visible flaws, and parts projects; optional protection is described as 6% of the hammer price, with an $8 minimum. The page labels itself a demonstration build: there is no auction server, no shared bidding, and no lots currently matching its filters.
