Auction intelligence for resellers.
Solo resellers spend hours scanning auction listings, missing good deals and overpaying on bad ones. Durgan Field Guide automates the scouting, scores every lot, and surfaces a focused buy-or-pass list. Built first for our own arbitrage operation; opening to others as a subscription product.

How it usually goes
- Three browser tabs, two coffees, and you have looked at twenty lots.
- Comp prices are guesses. So are the bid ceilings.
- The lot you wanted closed while you were finishing the spreadsheet.
How Durgan Field Guide does it
- Sources scraped continuously. Every new lot enters the inbox.
- AI-powered profit analysis with comp lookups and bid ceilings.
- Strike-zone alerts. Inspection checklists. A short list, not a backlog.
How it works
Scout pulls listings
A continuous scraper watches the major auction platforms and ingests every new lot into your inbox the moment it appears.
Analyst scores each lot
Comp pricing, condition signals, photo analysis, freight estimates — the analyst layer scores every lot for expected margin and confidence.
You see a short list
Strike-zone alerts surface only the lots worth your time. Verification gates flag the ones that need an in-person look. Pass on the rest with one tap.
Why it is different
Built by an operator, not a vendor
Durgan Field Guide started as the internal tool we use to run our own arbitrage operation. Every feature exists because we needed it ourselves. It is not a SaaS dashboard with auction data bolted on.
Scoring you can audit
Every lot score is traceable: comp source, condition signals, freight assumptions, AI reasoning. No black box. When the model says pass, you can see why.
No platform lock-in
Your watchlist, your notes, your bidding history — exportable any time. The product is the leverage, not the hostage.
