For estate flippers

Lot of 100. Line-by-line profit. Zero spreadsheet.

Estate flipping means buying everything and figuring out what it's worth later. Profit Hawk's lot system handles that reality — one entry for the whole estate purchase, profit calculated per item as each one sells.

  • One lot entry covers the entire estate purchase — any number of items
  • Per-item profit calculated as each piece sells, not at the end of the year
  • Haul costs (truck rental, help, mileage) allocated across the lot automatically

Plays nice with where you already sell.

You paid $800 for the whole estate. Now sell it piece by piece — and know your margin the whole way.

Estate resellers take on everything at once: furniture, tools, kitchenware, electronics, vintage items, collectibles, clothing — often mixed into a single purchase price. Profit Hawk's lot system was designed for exactly this. One lot, one purchase price, any number of categories. As items sell, the cost basis allocates correctly — and you see a running tally of how profitable the estate has been so far, before you've sold everything.

What Profit Hawk tracks for estate flippers

The full lifecycle of an estate purchase.

  • Estate lot entry — total purchase price, all haul costs, item count
  • Haul cost allocation — truck rental, hired help, mileage added to cost basis
  • Sub-lots by category — kitchen, tools, clothing, collectibles, electronics
  • Per-item profit as each piece sells, regardless of when
  • Unsold inventory value — see your remaining cost basis at any point
  • Multi-channel tracking — eBay, local Facebook Marketplace, auction house
  • Year-end COGS split — which lots were partially depleted in which tax year

One estate purchase, any number of items.

You paid $800 for an estate, $60 in truck rental, and $40 helping a friend with the haul. Total cost: $900. You brought home 180 items. In Profit Hawk, that's one lot: $900, 180 items, $5 per piece. As each item sells on eBay, the $5 COGS is applied automatically. You see a running profit total as the estate gets liquidated.

Sub-lots for categories that need different tracking.

The estate had a set of vintage tools worth $400 on their own, plus a box of kitchenware and a rack of clothing. You can split the $900 estate lot into sub-lots with different cost allocations — more cost basis to the tools, proportional across the rest. Profit tracks correctly per category.

Know when an estate has paid for itself.

Profit Hawk shows you a running total for the estate: revenue collected so far, COGS from the lot, fees paid, net profit to date, and remaining item count. You'll know exactly when the $900 estate purchase has broken even — and every item that sells after that is pure profit.

Estate flipper questions.

Log non-eBay sales manually. The COGS from the lot is still allocated and the profit calculation is the same — just without eBay fee deductions.
Unsold items stay on the lot at their allocated cost basis. They carry into the next tax year as inventory. At year-end, Profit Hawk shows your remaining inventory value.
Yes. Haul costs are their own line items in the lot and are added to the total cost basis before per-item allocation.

Every estate, every item, every dollar tracked.
