UnitSift does not automatically copy Lockerfox listing content. Save the public listing URL as your reference, then upload the auction photos or screenshots yourself. The uploaded images are analyzed as one lot and repeated views should be counted once.
Direct answer
What is a Lockerfox auction analyzer?
A Lockerfox auction analyzer converts the photos you upload from a listing into a visible-item inventory, a conservative liquidation range, an explicit cost model, and a suggested maximum bid. It does not access your Lockerfox account or place bids.
Maximum bid = expected liquidation proceeds − acquisition costs − resale costs − risk reserve − target profitHow it works
A conservative process, not a retail-price fantasy
Upload every useful listing photo
Include wide shots, close-ups, labels, and condition views. Do not upload only the most attractive image and pretend it represents the whole unit.
Check facility-specific terms
Pickup timing, payment, deposit, and cleanout requirements can vary. The original listing terms outrank any generic calculator default.
Price the work, not just the goods
Travel time, truck or trailer cost, helpers, dump fees, cleaning, listing work, and slow-moving inventory belong in the calculation.
Worked example
Lockerfox unit profit example
Assume the uploaded photos support $1,250 in conservative expected resale proceeds.
| Input | Amount | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Expected liquidation proceeds | $1,250 | Visible items only; sealed containers stay unpriced. |
| Auction and payment costs | −$150 | Illustrative placeholder; verify the listing terms. |
| Selling fees | −$163 | Illustrative blended resale cost. |
| Hauling and cleanup | −$287 | Travel, labor, disposal, and supplies. |
| Risk reserve and target profit | −$400 | Uncertainty protection plus required return. |
Illustrative maximum hammer bid: $250. A different pickup distance or disposal burden can move this number sharply.
Limits and risk
What the result cannot prove
- Listing photos show visible evidence only. Covered contents, working condition, authenticity, odors, pests, liens, and prohibited goods may remain unknown.
- An imported page can omit images loaded by scripts, require authentication, block automated requests, or change without notice. Manual photo upload is the reliable fallback.
- Auction terms vary by facility and lot. Verify buyer premium, tax, deposit, payment method, pickup window, and cleanout obligations on the original listing.
- UnitSift provides an informational estimate, not a certified appraisal, financial advice, or a guarantee of profit.
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers before you bid
Can I paste a Lockerfox URL and import all photos?
No. UnitSift currently requires manual upload for Lockerfox photos. You may keep the listing URL as a reference.
Can UnitSift log into my Lockerfox account?
No. UnitSift does not request Lockerfox credentials, access your account, or place bids.
Should I value closed boxes shown in Lockerfox photos?
No. A box is visible, but its contents are not. Treat hidden contents as uncertainty rather than revenue.
What if the unit differs from the photos?
Stop and follow the platform and facility process before removing anything. Preserve the listing photos and original terms as evidence.
