For equipment buyers

The hammer price is not what the machine costs you

By the time a lot is standing in your yard you have also paid a buyer's premium, a platform fee, sales tax and the whole removal and haulage bill. This builder adds all of it up from the figures you enter, shows every step, and tells you the highest bid that still meets the ceiling you set.

What it does

Every intermediate, on screen

Premium amount, platform fee, the tax base you selected, the tax, the logistics subtotal and the landed total. Each one is a separate line you can read back and check.

Back-solves your maximum bid

Set a landed-cost ceiling and each column returns the highest hammer price that still lands at or under it. Capped premiums are solved on both sides of the cap.

Two or three options side by side

Enter the same asset under different premium, fee and haulage structures and read the landed totals against each other in one table.

Landed cost per unit

Enter a quantity and the builder divides the landed total across the units, so a lot of two pumps is comparable with a single one.

Your own cost lines

Add anything else you were quoted and charge it to one option. A line charged to one column never moves another column's total.

CSV export and a printable summary

Every column and every intermediate downloads as a CSV, with the premium structure you entered recorded alongside the figures.

Every rate in this builder is a number you type in from the terms you are bidding under. It ships no auction house names, no fee table and no tax rules, it makes no judgement about what a lot is worth, and it tells you nothing about what to bid. You read the arithmetic and you draw the conclusion.
