If you ve ever run an ITAD (IT Asset Disposition) or hardware refurbishing operation, you know the packing bench is where profits go to die.
The biggest margin killer? Per-device erasure licenses. The software industry has gaslit us into believing that wiping a drive safely should cost money every single time.
We decided to build FehrWatch to build a tool that actually respects workshop realities.
As a developer and hardware enthusiast, I got tired of doing manual price research and calculation every time I wanted to buy or flip used IT gear.
So I built a free browser extension that treats the used electronics market like a financial asset class. It acts like a mini Trading Workstation (TWS) directly overlaid on eBay:
Real-time Valuation: Instantly calculates the weighted market median price using API data.
Smart Risk/Condition Assessment: Runs background logic and OCR image checks (detecting everything from pristine chassis to minor wear like a slightly scratched asset tag).
Instant Margins: Shows you the exact spread, target margin, and whether a deal is a "Green Signal" buy or not.
