- Seller calls the lot two Atomlab 500 dose calibrators, describes it as used/usable, and warns parts may be missing and repairs may be required.
Two photo-confirmed Biodex 086-336 dose-calibrator chambers are not two confirmed complete Atomlab 500 systems. Controller/accessory completeness, chamber performance, calibration, contamination, and service path remain unresolved; the $800 model supports a $0 blind ceiling.
The auction bid ceiling supported by this analysis, if one is defensible; see costs below for buyer-premium treatment.
Why this decision
SKIP: at $800 conservative resale, selling friction plus $250 logistics, $300 verification, $200 uncertainty, and the $500 profit requirement leave no positive hammer.

Auction snapshot
This page preserves the 2026-09-17 GSA open-auction observation for sale 1-1-QSC-I-26-326, lot 038, item 377493. The observed bid was $125; it is not a final hammer or completed sale.
A seller's complete-system wording must not override photo-confirmed component identity; chamber-level evidence cannot be blended with controller/tablet package pricing.
Independent review not required. No corrections recorded.

Market evidence strength
Medium
Public auditability
Limited Legacy
Evidence recency
Not Recorded
Exact-model market references cluster in the mid-hundreds per chamber, but realized-price disclosure and condition comparability are thin.
Legacy evidence counts were not preserved. Unknown is not reported as zero.
Fails
The modeled economics fail the standard reseller requirements under the stated assumptions.
A positive hammer requires buyer-specific lower costs or stronger verified condition and resale evidence; neither is assumed.
| Transaction / operating cost | Amount | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Selling Fees | $120 | LotCaliper assumption: 15% of modeled gross resale. |
| Shipping | $250 | LotCaliper pickup, packing, rigging, and inbound-logistics reserve; not a carrier or GSA quote. |
| Testing Repair Reserve | $300 | LotCaliper functional-test and diagnostic reserve. |
| Risk Buffer | $200 | LotCaliper reserve for untested condition, verification, repair, return, and liquidity uncertainty. |

Market support assesses how well the available evidence supports the resale assumption. Exact third-party marketplace records may be omitted when source-use rights are unclear. Each dimension uses the published methodology rubric; a confidence label measures the strength and boundedness of its evidence, not the likelihood of a profitable outcome.
