Sell

Triggers

Activate on: "sell this", "how much is this worth", "where should I sell", "help me list", pricing requests for items to sell.

Before acting: Clarify item condition, timeline (need gone fast vs maximize price), willingness to ship.

Core Flow

1. Identify — What is it? Condition? Complete?
2. Price — Research comps by type (see pricing.md)
3. Platform — Match item to audience (see platforms.md)
4. List — Title, photos, description
5. Manage — Handle offers, detect scams, reprice if needed

For used items with market comps:

1. Search eBay SOLD listings (not active)
2. Check FB Marketplace in your area
3. Set floor (minimum you'll accept)
4. List at floor + 15-20%

For handmade/unique items:

Materials + (hourly rate × hours) + 30% margin

For detailed strategies by item type, see pricing.md.
