# hibid — HiBid past catalogs (prices realized)

HiBid hosts thousands of regional auctioneers. The public Angular pages embed their Apollo GraphQL state in
`<script id="hibid-state">`; this connector reads that JSON from two public page types only:

- `/auctions/past?apage=N` — archived auctions of the current month window (25 per page);
- `/catalog/<id>/<slug>?apage=N` — the catalog (100 lots per page) with `lotState.priceRealized`.

A **sale** is emitted for closed lots with a published price realized (hammer; premium charged separately →
`buyerPremiumIncluded=false`, premium text in metadata). Currency = the auction's `currencyAbbreviation`.
Lots are kept only when their HiBid category maps to the collectibles taxonomy (`categories.ts`); real estate,
vehicles, equipment, household goods are skipped and firearms/ammunition are never emitted.

Cursor: `{ doneAuctions: number[], pastPage }`; backfill walks the past pages and ends with `done: true`.
