After experiencing unforeseen circumstances, I’ve fully recovered and am back for collaboration and more. 🤗🤝

I wanted to share a prompt I use when I’m evaluating industrial automation / electrical lots (auctions, liquidations, surplus deals) for eBay reselling. This has saved me hours of manual research and helped me avoid bad buys while spotting hidden winners. Here’s the exact workflow the AI follows: - I upload the seller’s inventory sheet (PDF, Excel or CSV) - It reads the file and extracts: item name, manufacturer/brand, model/part number, quantity - It groups everything into logical categories: PLC modules, contactors, soft starters, sensors, grippers, power supplies, heating elements, safety relays, etc. - For each item (or per model if there are many of the same): Then it generates a structured markdown report that includes: - A table for each category with: quantity, model/part number, brand, approx. retail price, expected eBay price per unit, short notes - Estimated eBay revenue per category - Estimated total eBay revenue for the entire lot - A short priority list of “high‑value” items I should list first - Recommendations on what to sell individually vs what makes more sense to bundle in lots - It assumes everything is new/unused unless the sheet clearly marks it as used, and automatically uses lower multipliers for used items (and labels that clearly) - Finally, it writes a short conclusion + recommendations in Danish, in a direct, business‑like tone, aimed at a professional eBay seller (that’s for me, but you can change language/tone for your own use case) How I actually use this: - When I get a big industrial lot list from a broker or auction house, I drop the file into the prompt. - Within minutes I have a data‑driven view of: realistic resale value, which parts are worth the most, and whether the deal makes sense at the asking price. - It also doubles as a listing roadmap: I start with the high‑value SKUs, then move on to the long tail and bundle‑friendly items. If you’re running any kind of reselling / flipping operation where you’re offered bulk inventory lists (especially technical/industrial stock), feel free to swipe this prompt, adapt the categories to your niche, and let the AI do the boring part of the due diligence for you.
