Listing price check
Find what's listed right now for an item on resale marketplaces, judge each price against recent sales, and flag common scam signs.
Ask for it like this
- “Find a used road bike under $500 near me”
- “Is this Craigslist couch a good deal?”
- “Alert me when a PS5 shows up under $300 on Marketplace”
What your assistant does
- Get the item (make, model, size, and the condition the user will accept), the price ceiling, the area and how far they will travel, and whether shipping is fine.
- Search current listings: eBay, Craigslist, OfferUp, and marketplaces specific to the category. Facebook Marketplace listings often cannot be reached from web search — say so, and suggest the user check its app with the same filters.
- Search recent sold prices (eBay sold listings, price guides) so each listing can be called low, fair, or high.
- Report up to five matches under the ceiling — price, condition, location, and a link, best value first — and flag scam signs: a price far below market, pressure to pay by gift card, wire, or crypto, or a seller who will not meet or show the item.
- If nothing fits yet, say so plainly and suggest a reminder to re-run this check, or a saved-search alert in the marketplace's own app. Do not claim you will watch listings yourself.
