How this calculator works
Max Bid Calculator turns your acquisition, recovery, selling, and operating assumptions into a transparent estimate. Adjust every input to model a conservative, expected, and optimistic case before you buy inventory.
Frequently asked questions
Are these results guaranteed?
No. Results are planning estimates based on your inputs; actual condition, demand, fees, returns, and selling time vary.
What assumptions should I use?
Start with recent sold listings and the manifest condition codes, then lower recovery estimates for untested or customer-return inventory.
