# Retail Arbitrage Deal Finder for HiBid Auctions

**Use case:** 

Run a retail arbitrage scraper on HiBid to find underpriced open lots in power tools, sneakers, and video games before they close. Each result has the current bid, bid count, and seller name, so you can spot low-competition lots with real resale margin and export straight to a flipping spreadsheet. Cap results by max price to only see lots cheap enough to resell for profit.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
This Task's input is already configured above — use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
