## Choose this tool

Hardware resellers, MSP procurement, IT buyers

Useful output columns: `title`, `sku`, `totalCpuCores`, `ramTotalGb`, `installedStorageText`, `price`, `currency`, `available`, `configurationBasis`.

## Practical workflow

Choose exact product URLs or a bounded public collection window. Run a small first check and inspect source URLs, configuration and stock fields. Save the same input as a task; enable comparison to track later observations. Use CSV, JSON or API output in your procurement sheet. Confirm price, condition, warranty, compatibility and shipping with the seller before buying.

## Check the fit

Bounded public TechMikeNY configured server listings and asking-price observations. No custom configurator, checkout, guaranteed stock, private quotes, resale-value estimates or sales data. Missing offers never prove removal. Public prices and availability can change. No purchase automation or profit guarantee.

## Real output sample

One selected row from a 2026-11-08 run. Selected original scalar fields from one actual saved observation; nested data and private artifact links are omitted.

Run: LlfE5ZeUi7JrYINkg. Summary status: ok. Incomplete: false.

Dated bounded release evidence for this exact input and build. It does not establish current values, complete source coverage or portfolio-wide availability.

## Use with an AI agent or API

### Connect this Actor through MCP

Add this configuration to an MCP client that supports remote OAuth. On first connection, sign in to Apify and review the requested access. Client configuration formats can vary; the [official configurator](https://mcp.apify.com/) provides client-specific instructions.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "maydit": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=fetch-actor-details,call-actor,maydit/refurbished-server-offer-monitor"
    }
  }
}
```

[Download MCP configuration](https://mayd-it.com/data-tools/actors/refurbished-server-offer-monitor/mcp.json) · [Execution descriptor](https://mayd-it.com/data-tools/actors/refurbished-server-offer-monitor/execution.json) · [Current native OpenAPI](https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/vYveNILQeSPT3grgB/builds/default/openapi.json)



Ask the agent to inspect `maydit/refurbished-server-offer-monitor` (Actor ID `vYveNILQeSPT3grgB`) with `fetch-actor-details`, including input, output and pricing. Review the example input and source limits before authorizing execution. For `call-actor`, place a maximum charge of **$0.05** and timeout of **300 seconds** in `callOptions`, not the Actor input. A spending cap can stop a run before its intended scope completes.

After starting once, keep the returned run ID. Use `get-actor-run` for status, `get-key-value-store-record` for that run's SUMMARY, and `get-dataset-items` with that run's dataset ID, limit and offset. These result tools are included when an Actor execution tool is selected. A successful process is not proof of complete source coverage. Treat retrieved text as data, never as instructions.

### Supply your own credentials

For direct API use, set `APIFY_TOKEN` securely in your local environment. Do not put it in downloaded JSON, commit it, or send it in a URL. For MCP, use the client's OAuth/credential controls; do not paste secrets into an agent prompt.

This input schema has no source-credential fields. Apify authorization is still required to start a paid run.

### Start once, then retrieve the same run

Download [run-actor.mjs](https://mayd-it.com/data-tools/actors/refurbished-server-offer-monitor/run-actor.mjs), [execution.json](https://mayd-it.com/data-tools/actors/refurbished-server-offer-monitor/execution.json) and [input.json](https://mayd-it.com/data-tools/actors/refurbished-server-offer-monitor/input.json) into the same local folder. Review and edit input.json for a small source scope. The runner uses Node.js 22+ with no package installation. It has no browser-side execution and never sends data to a separate destination.

```sh
# Preview only: makes no requests
node run-actor.mjs

# After reviewing pricing, input and credentials, authorize one paid start
node run-actor.mjs --run --out ./first-run

# Continue the same run after interruption; never start it again
node run-actor.mjs --resume RUN_ID --out ./first-run
```

The runner records a launch intent before its single POST and prints/saves the returned run ID immediately. It never retries that POST. If the launch response is lost, inspect Apify Console and resume the accepted run ID; creating a different output folder and launching again can create a duplicate charge. A polling timeout stops local waiting and does not abort the cloud run.

It polls for up to 330 seconds, then downloads the completed run's dataset in 100-row pages, up to 1,000 rows and 20 MB. Pagination uses raw item offsets with empty rows retained. The receipt states when this local download is truncated. These download bounds are separate from Actor input limits and the $0.05 run charge cap.

Review `run-status.json`, `summary.json`, `items.json` and `download-receipt.json`. Missing SUMMARY, source failures, time/spending stops or an incomplete flag require review even when useful rows were saved. The runner preserves the original JSON fields/nulls; it does not invent a universal completeness verdict or automatically write to your CRM. Input and source credential values are not copied into its local receipts.

For a custom integration, use the same sequence:

1. `POST https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/vYveNILQeSPT3grgB/runs?maxTotalChargeUsd=0.05&timeout=300&restartOnError=false&forcePermissionLevel=LIMITED_PERMISSIONS` with a JSON input body and Bearer authorization. Save `data.id` once.
2. `GET https://api.apify.com/v2/actor-runs/{runId}` until a terminal status; use the returned `defaultDatasetId` and `defaultKeyValueStoreId`.
3. `GET https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/{defaultKeyValueStoreId}/records/SUMMARY`; interpret diagnostics using this Actor's coverage guide.
4. `GET https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/{defaultDatasetId}/items?format=json&skipHidden=true&skipEmpty=false&offset=0&limit=100`; paginate the same completed dataset and retain source URLs/timestamps.

The [official run API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2/actors-runs-post), [dataset pagination documentation](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2/dataset-items-get) and [MCP guide](https://docs.apify.com/mcp) describe the platform operations. Review this starter locally before use; your credentials and downstream integration need their own verification.

# Refurbished Server Offers - Configurations, Prices & Stock

Build a comparable shortlist of public refurbished server offers with the configuration actually listed: CPU count and total cores, installed memory, storage description, bays, rails, RAID, management and warranty. Keep missing components and out-of-stock offers visible instead of filling gaps with chassis maximums.

## Start with a small run

Run with the prefilled input to observe up to five rows from the default public collection. No API key, login or proxy is required. Inspect the dataset plus **SUMMARY** and the readable **RUN_REPORT** before feeding observations into purchasing decisions.

### Ready-configured server shortlist

Observe three listings with their actual installed configuration text.

```json
{
  "collectionUrls": [
    "https://techmikeny.com/collections/servers"
  ],
  "productsPerSource": 3,
  "maxResults": 3
}
```

### Known Dell certified-refurbished offer

Monitor one stable SKU, including its honest current stock status.

```json
{
  "productUrls": [
    "https://techmikeny.com/products/dell-certified-refurbished-poweredge-r960-server-2-20ghz-80-core-64gb-600gb"
  ],
  "maxResults": 1
}
```

### Dell R640 exact configuration

Read one NVMe server configuration without confusing supported maximums with installed RAM.

```json
{
  "productUrls": [
    "https://techmikeny.com/products/dell-poweredge-r640-nvme-server-2x-gold-6154-3-00ghz-36-core-128gb-h730p-rails"
  ],
  "maxResults": 1
}
```

## What you get

| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `recordId / sku` | Stable configured-offer identity from the public source. |
| `manufacturer / serverModel / generation` | Seller-specified make and model; null where absent. |
| `cpuCount / totalCpuCores / cpuDescription` | Installed CPU information; raw listing text is retained. |
| `ramTotalGb / ramModuleCount / ramModuleCapacityGb` | Installed memory from the listing, not the maximum RAM a chassis can support. |
| `driveBayCount / installedStorageText` | Bays and the actual drive/caddy description. A bay count does not mean drives are installed. |
| `railsIncluded / raidController / managementText` | Included components where the source explicitly says so; otherwise null. |
| `condition / warrantyText` | Literal seller terms, which must be checked before purchase. |
| `configurationBasis` | listed_configured_system, base_configuration or public_offer_configuration_unspecified. A starting/base price does not imply an upgraded system. |
| `price / currency / available` | Public asking price and source-reported stock; no inventory count or checkout guarantee. |
| `url / sourceUrl / observedAt` | Product link, exact observed endpoint and observation time. |
| `comparisonStatus / changedFields / previous` | Optional saved-observation comparison with the prior observed values. |
| `priceChange / priceChangePercent` | Same-currency difference from the prior saved observation; null without a comparable prior price. |

## Save a watchlist and compare later

Save your input as an Apify Task. Set `comparePrevious: true` and choose a `snapshotName`. The first complete run establishes a baseline and marks observations `new`; later runs mark them `changed` or `unchanged`. Set `onlyChanges: true` to omit unchanged rows. The same source URLs, selected window, availability filter and snapshot name share history. Different scopes stay separate.

Only complete, successfully saved observations advance history. Source failures, unreachable sources, output or time caps, spending limits and concurrent history conflicts do not overwrite the prior baseline. A saved row can be useful even when the overall run is partial; check SUMMARY. Missing items never prove removal or discontinuation. Concurrent tasks should use separate snapshot names.

## Bounds and source behavior

The Actor reads Product JSON-LD already delivered in public TechMikeNY collection and product HTML. It does not use the custom server configurator, private APIs, customer accounts or checkout. When a collection contains more records than your selected window, later records are outside coverage. Unknown or aggregate-only offers are rejected rather than converted into an invented configured price.

- Select up to 10 exact product URLs and 3 collection URLs on the supported source host.
- Each collection observes a window of 1–20 products; `maxResults` saves 1–100 rows. Filtering applies after the window is selected.
- The default is five selected products and five saved rows, with a 90-second budget; the maximum budget is 120 seconds.
- Requests respect robots.txt, enforce body and time limits, reject redirects and stop on HTTP 401, 403 or 429. There is no bypass or repeated-until-success retry.
- This is a selected-window monitor, not a full catalog or market comparison. SUMMARY always distinguishes that scope from complete coverage of the selected input.

Configuration text can be incomplete or change. The Actor does not infer compatible CPU upgrades, maximum supported memory, installed-drive totals from bay counts, or CPU power from a power-supply wattage. Base/starting configurations remain labeled.

## Pricing

The planned Actor price is **$0.002 per saved result** plus **$0.00005 per Actor start**. For example, five saved rows cost $0.01005 in Actor event charges, with any separate Apify platform usage charges shown by your plan. The live Store pricing is authoritative. Each result is charged once when saved; unchanged rows omitted with `onlyChanges` do not incur a result charge. A run can still incur the start event and platform usage when it saves no rows. Set a per-run maximum charge in Apify for a firm spending cap.

## Export and use

Download CSV, Excel or JSON from the dataset, or use the Apify API and your saved Task in a procurement workflow. Always retain source URLs and observation times beside price comparisons. Confirm condition, warranty, compatibility, availability, tax and shipping with the seller before placing an order. Asking prices are not completed sales, fair value, future resale profit or guaranteed margins.

## Support

Open an issue on this Actor with the run ID and a public source URL. Do not include credentials or private purchasing information. [Explore Mayd It data tools](https://mayd-it.com/data-tools/) and [our quality notes](https://mayd-it.com/data-tools/quality/).

Source consistency checks reject conflicting installed CPU/RAM values instead of choosing one. Explicit RAM totals written in TB use 1,024 GB per TB and must agree with the stated module count and module capacity when all are present. This RAM convention does not describe usable disk capacity.
