Case study
How to scan Delran lots over $500 retail without opening every listing.
This workflow shows how a reseller can use Lotalyze to narrow a large auction feed into a short list: pick a location, focus on higher-retail lots, sort by estimated profit, then save the best candidates to Workbench for inspection and bid planning.

Step 1
Choose Delran
Start with the pickup site you can actually reach. Location discipline keeps sourcing realistic.
Step 2
Set retail to $500+
Higher retail does not guarantee profit, but it helps surface lots with enough upside to inspect.
Step 3
Sort by profit %
Move likely margin to the top instead of clicking through every listing one by one.
Step 4
Save to Workbench
Keep candidates, notes, bid targets, and export-ready opportunities in one place.
