Results are stored in the default dataset. The OUTPUT record contains run health and counts; CATEGORY_CATALOG contains the categories observed on the landing page.

Deal scores describe only the bounded sample collected during that run. They are not appraisals, guarantees, or purchase recommendations. Confirm machine scope, taxes, transport, condition, seller identity, and total acquisition costs independently.

Auction records use price.status: "auction". auctionPriceType, auctionStartingPrice, and buyerPremiumPct make clear whether the public amount is a starting price and which extra buyer premium was shown. Auctions are not compared with classified asking prices.
