Resale Lot Triage & Flip Analyzer

Decide whether a whole lot is worth buying — before the money moves. Storage units, garage-sale bundles, estate lots, pallet and return lots, and "take everything" cleanout offers all share the same trap: a few good items hide a pile of slow, heavy, or unsellable weight, and the holding cost keeps billing you while you find out.

Single-item flip calculators price one item. This skill triages the lot: it inventories everything, prices only what has real sold evidence, separates anchors from filler from disposal liability, charges the lot its true holding cost (storage rent divided by days, transport, disposal), applies a swing-trade screen for brandable and collectible pieces sitting at a price trough, and returns one number that matters — the maximum you can pay and still profit — plus a buy / negotiate / pass verdict.

Built from a live resale operation that liquidates stored inventory under three rules, in order: (1) never lose money after fees, shipping, and holding cost, (2) price from what buyers actually paid, never asking prices, (3) velocity beats margin — a lot that clears in two weeks beats a "valuable" lot that rents storage for six months.

• A storage-unit auction, estate sale, garage sale, or cleanout offers a bundle and you must bid or offer without pricing every item for an hour.
• You already bought a lot and need a triage order: what to list first, what to bundle, what to donate or dump on day one.
• A seller offers "everything in the garage / booth / unit" at one price and you need a defensible counter, not a guess.
• Inventory you already hold is bleeding storage rent and you need to know which pieces must move first to stop the bleed.
• You spot a brand-name or collectible item priced far below its history and want to test whether it is a genuine swing-trade trough or a falling knife.
