Hammer
connecting to the auction

The bargains are gone before you refresh the page.

When a customer cancels, their machine goes straight back on Hetzner's auction, often well under what that configuration normally fetches. It appears without warning. An ordinary listing sits around for hours; a genuinely underpriced one is taken in minutes. Hammer watches every minute so you do not have to.

Machines somebody else already bought. There is no point showing you what is still for sale at a discount, because there almost never is any — that is the whole problem. Prices are net and include the mandatory IPv4; Hetzner adds VAT at checkout.

Refreshing a page is not a strategy

It says how long you will probably wait

Before you commit to waiting, Hammer answers from what that exact configuration has actually done — and refuses to guess when it has not seen enough of them.

I have seen this before, but not often enough to promise a timeframe.

It says what your requirements cost you

Insisting on ECC, or on one particular country, can turn a two-day wait into a two-month one. That is measurable, so Hammer measures it instead of guessing.

It knows what the machine is worth

Every alert is priced against the other machines of its shape and against what that configuration has sold for before, including the IPv4 that never appears in the headline price.

You describe it in your own words

No grid of checkboxes. Say what you are after and Hammer works out the filter, then tells you what that filter is worth.
