Get an email when a new lot matches your criteria. The rules are strict by design: at most one digest a day (or a Sunday weekly, your choice), only for lots listed after you subscribe, and never the same lot twice. Confirmation is double opt-in and every email carries a one-click unsubscribe.
Methodology
- 01
Ingest
A nightly crawl of MSTC (twenty regional offices), BAANKNET (IBC liquidation auctions), and IREPS (Indian Railways disposal). Each auction is captured once with provenance: URL, snapshot, fetched-at timestamp.
- 02
Normalise
Lots are mapped to a single schema: selling agency, category, location, reserve price, EMD, start, close. Annexures, the per-lot detail PDFs MSTC publishes alongside the catalogue, are fetched and excerpted. Embedded photos are pulled out of the PDFs and shown on the lot cards.
- 03
Score
Every lot is scored 1–10 against four categories: arbitrage, niche-instrument, prestige-seller, curio. The publishing floor is per-category, not uniform. Arbitrage needs a clear margin; prestige and curio surface earlier. Anything from a prestige seller is included regardless of category fit.
- 04
Surface
The register holds the curated cut. Search spans the whole active database. The spotlight rotates nightly. Subscribers get at most one email a day for new matches, and the feeds (RSS and JSON) republish the register for machines.
