| name | identify-resale-targets |
| description | Identify items in the inventory worth selling rather than discarding or donating. Estimates resale value, suggests the right marketplace per item (geo-aware — e.g. Yad2/Facebook Marketplace IL for Israel, eBay/Craigslist/FB for US, Gumtree/eBay for UK), flags effort vs. payoff, and produces a prioritized sale list. |
Identify resale targets
When to invoke
User wants to sell stuff, asks "what's worth selling", or runs after find-duplicates / suggest-discards to route flagged items to resale.
Preconditions
Workspace + populated inventory. Geography and currency from workspace.json.
Selection criteria
An item is a resale candidate if:
est_value ≥ a minimum threshold worth the effort of listing (default: ILS 100 / USD 30 / GBP 25 / EUR 25 — configurable in workspace.json under resale.min_value).condition is good or better (allow fair for high-value items where the market accepts it).- Not tagged
sentimental / keepsake.
- Has a real second-hand market (electronics, furniture, designer clothing, musical instruments, books in some categories, collectibles, kitchen appliances, tools, sports gear).
Marketplace recommendation (geo-aware)
Read workspace.json.geography and recommend platforms accordingly. Examples:
- Israel: Yad2 (general), Facebook Marketplace IL, Agora (auctions), Lastprice/Zap for pricing checks, dedicated Telegram groups for niche items.
- US: eBay (shippable + collectibles), Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp, Mercari (small items, clothing), Reverb (instruments), StockX (sneakers/streetwear).
- UK: eBay UK, Gumtree, Facebook Marketplace, Vinted (clothing), Music Magpie (media/electronics).
- EU: eBay Kleinanzeigen (DE), Vinted (clothing), Leboncoin (FR), Wallapop (ES).
- Global / niche: Reverb (instruments), Watchuseek/Chrono24 (watches), Discogs (records), AbeBooks (books), Bring a Trailer (cars).
For each item, pick 1–3 best-fit platforms and explain why in one line.
Resale value estimate
Use the same valuation approach as value-for-insurance but bias toward realistic sale prices, not insurance replacement value. Sale price ≈ 50–70% of current second-hand market median for typical condition.
Effort vs. payoff
For each item, estimate:
- Effort:
low (post a photo, ship in box), medium (need to clean/photograph/answer questions), high (heavy item, local pickup only, may need to disassemble).
- Payoff per hour: estimated sale price ÷ estimated effort hours.
Sort the output by payoff/hour descending, so the user attacks the high-leverage items first.
