Cannon L-63 + Power House 30-5-208-3+1 Load Banks — GSA Auction Analysis

Independent review not required
No mandatory independent review was required under the current gate. This is not an approval.
How independent review worksHow evidence is classified
Seller facts, photo-derived observations, manufacturer context, unknowns, and LotCaliper assumptions remain explicitly separated.
Photo Derived
Photo-derived
- Supplied photos support the stated physical identity/configuration observations only; they do not prove inclusion or function.
Not Established
Not established
- Loaded function, meter accuracy, resistor/contactors, fan and thermal protection, cable integrity, internal condition, and exact Power House electrical configuration
Lotcaliper Assumption
LotCaliper assumptions
- $3000 conservative post-verification resale and $0 blind/as-is hammer before any unknown buyer premium.
Structured photo observations (4)
These are bounded observations from the preserved photographs. They do not establish functional operation or seller inclusion beyond the corresponding source evidence.

Current Cannon pricing and a refurbished exact-model ask provide replacement/channel context; related working and used Avtron asks are not exact-model realized resale evidence.

Sensitivity and robustness
Requires Verification
The scenarios show potentially workable economics, but the stated verification gate must be resolved before bidding responsibly.
Blind/as-is downside
- Max hammer
- $0
- Gross resale model
- $2,000–$3,000
The blind cost stack leaves neither the $500 profit floor nor 30% ROI satisfied at zero hammer.
Both load banks pass representative verification
- Max hammer
- $1,100
- Gross resale model
- $4,000
The approximately $1,100 ceiling applies only after both banks pass the stated load-step, cooling/protection, meter, and cable checks.
Costs and maximum bid
| Transaction / operating cost | Amount | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Selling Fees | $450 | LotCaliper reseller-model assumption: 15% of modeled gross resale. |
| Shipping | $650 | Buyer-managed packing, loading, and inbound-logistics reserve; not a quote. |
| Testing Repair Reserve | $500 | Functional-verification and repair reserve; not a service quote. |
| Other | $0 | Configuration, accessory, or software-recovery reserve; it does not assert a component is missing. |
| Risk Buffer | $1,000 | Uncertainty and return-risk reserve; not a quote. |

This is a reseller ceiling, not a prediction of the auction's closing price. Any buyer premium or other unquoted acquisition charge must be deducted before bidding.
Configuration, condition, and conservative bid ceiling
Two photo-confirmed portable AC load banks have visibly present cases and cables, but untested load, cooling, meter, protection, and internal condition leave a $0 blind hammer ceiling.
Verify identity, configuration, functional state, packing/removal cost, and any buyer premium before using a positive conditional ceiling.
- Do not convert unknown bids or bidder counts to zero.
- Do not credit unverified components, software, accessories, or function.

Why these confidence levels were assigned
- Identity rationale
- Supplied photos directly show Cannon L-63 S/N 12806 and Power House 30-5-208-3+1 markings.
- Material unknowns: Bounded
- Configuration rationale
- Loaded function, meter accuracy, resistor/contactors, fan and thermal protection, cable integrity, internal condition, and exact Power House electrical configuration
- Material unknowns: Unbounded
- Condition rationale
- Seller states operating condition is unknown and unable to test; parts may be missing and repairs may be required. Exterior evidence is not functional evidence.
- Material unknowns: Unbounded
- Market Support rationale
- Current Cannon pricing and a refurbished exact-model ask provide replacement/channel context; related working and used Avtron asks are not exact-model realized resale evidence.
- Material unknowns: Bounded
- Costs rationale
- Reserves are operator allowances, not quotes.
- Material unknowns: Unbounded
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.
Risks and unknowns
