Sources & method
Where these lots come from
Gavel Hardware reads public auction listings and turns them into one comparable catalogue. We do not bid, we do not take payment, and we do not republish a lot as if it were ours.
Indexed auctioneers

Next in line: more pan-European industrial auctioneers with computer and server stock. A source goes live only when its whole catalogue is covered — a half-indexed auctioneer is worse than a missing one.

How the data is built
- The auctioneer's own public category pages are read once a day — never the logged-in area, never a private feed.
- Each lot keeps the original title, photos, attributes, current bid, bid count, closing time and location, plus a link to the source page.
- Lots are sorted into nine hardware categories by title and attributes. Every lot points back to the auctioneer, so you can always check the original listing.
- Nothing is estimated. If the auctioneer publishes no specification, the lot shows no specification — that is not a gap we fill with guesses.
How the filters get their numbers
Processors, memory and storage are read from the attribute table the auctioneer publishes, then from the lot text. A graphics card gives its VRAM only when the card name has one published memory size, and laptop parts are read separately from desktop parts. When a lot does not settle a value, that value stays empty — it is never filled with a guess.

What we do not do
- We do not place bids, proxy-bid, or hold money.
- We do not quote a final price — a current bid is not a sold price.
- We do not pass off a derived number as a published one. Every filter value comes from the lot text, and the filter pane prints how many lots state each field.
- We do not scrape behind a login or against a site's robots rules.
