🚀 How I Use Copilot to Find Auction Gold for eBay Flipping
Hey resellers 👋 I wanted to share one of my favorite sourcing hacks—using Microsoft Copilot to analyze auction lots and uncover hidden gems with serious flip potential. Before I used my own custom script in Perplexity, but using Copilot is actually faster and more convenient.
🧠 What Copilot Does for Me:
I feed it a link to an auction by opening a tab in the browser (like this university surplus auction), and it helps me:
- 🔍 Identify each item (brand, model, specs)
- 💰 Estimate resale value on eBay or niche platforms
- 📉 Recommend a safe max bid to hit 3× ROI after fees
- 📦 Break down shipping costs (parcel vs. pallet)
- 📊 Calculate net profit after eBay fees, managed payments, and logistics
- ⚠️ Flag risky or slow-moving lots so I avoid dead inventory
🧪 Example: Lot 102 – VWR Autoclave
- Resale: DKK 6,000–8,000
- Max bid: DKK 1,200
- Net profit after shipping & fees: ~DKK 4,000
- Flip potential: ⭐ High
- Why? Strong demand in lab resale, compact enough for pallet shipping, fast turnover
📋 I Also Get:
- A summary table of all lots with resale value, bid cap, and flip rating
- Risk grades (returns, faults, shipping complexity)
- Days-to-sell estimates based on eBay history
- Suggestions for bundling or local pickup strategies
💡 Why It Works:
Copilot doesn’t just scrape data—it understands resale logic. It knows how to factor in fees, shipping, and market demand. I use it to build my bidding strategy before the auction closes, and it’s saved me from overpaying more than once.
