The sold-price gap

BigIron does not expose the realized hammer price in the page shape this pack reads. Every closed lot’s amount field reads 0 regardless of bid count — verified across 100 sampled sold lots, including several with 60+ recorded bids. The live figure is served by a bidding widget (SignalR hub) this pack does not call. bigiron_sold_search still returns real, verifiably-sold lots (title, make/model/year, quantity, seller, location, close date, bid count) with final_price: null and an explicit price_note — never a fabricated or implied number.

buy_it_now_price on active lots is a real asking price a buyer can pay to end the auction immediately. It is not a sold comp and is labeled as such.

Data sources

• bigiron.com/Search — server-rendered ASP.NET HTML. Every lot card carries a data-lot="{...}" attribute holding the full lot record as HTML-entity-encoded JSON (title, price, location, category, make/model/ year, seller, end time, buy-it-now, sale status).
• bigiron.com/Lots/{slug} — the same per-lot record plus a free-text description.

Upstream quirks (measured 2026-09-13)

• page=N paginates (20 lots/page); without filter=Sold results skew overwhelmingly Active — 7 unfiltered pages of “tractor” turned up exactly 1 Sold lot. filter=Sold (found via the site’s own category nav links, e.g. /sale/farm-equipment-for-sale?filter=Sold) switches the whole result set to closed lots.
• /Past (the site’s own “past auctions” link) requires login — redirects to /MyAccount. It is not usable keyless; filter=Sold on /Search is.
• robots.txt disallows AI crawlers by name (ClaudeBot/GPTBot/CCBot etc.), but the content is public and served without credentials — per Bruce’s 2026-09-01 ruling (“public data is public data, regardless of robots”), this does not block building the pack. This pack crawls politely and identifies honestly via its User-Agent.
