Unlock with ProHow demand signals work
Every ranking and signal on this page is an aggregate of distinct buyers per category or per search term, computed across all BidProwl alerts and watchlists. Nobody can see what any individual person watches, and nothing here links a term to an account. Pro members can additionally turn on stealth mode in account settings, which keeps their tracking out of these signals entirely.
Why it matters for flipping: government auctions are where supply is cheap, but profit depends on demand where you resell. A category near the top of this page is one where people are already hunting the thing you are about to bid on. Pair a demand signal with the sold-price data and you know both sides of the trade before it starts.
