Marketplace dealer

Pally hunts the listings, messages the sellers, haggles up to your ceiling, and sets up the pickup.

Buying used is a numbers game of messages nobody has time for. Tell pally the item, the distance you will drive, and the most you will pay, and it works the listings and comes back with a deal and a pickup time.

The routine

How it works

Describe what you want, how far you will travel, and the absolute ceiling you will pay. Pally searches the marketplaces in its secure browser, filters out the obvious scams and the listings that have been relisted for months, and shows you a shortlist before it talks to anybody.

One ok covers the round of messages. Pally asks each seller the questions that decide whether it is worth the drive: age, condition, whether it works, whether they will deliver, and anything you added. It negotiates toward your number and never goes above the ceiling you set.

Replies come back as they land, one short summary per seller, including the ones who went quiet. When a deal makes sense, pally arranges the pickup time and puts the address and the seller's number on your calendar so you are not digging through a messaging app in the car.

It works the other way too. Send photos of what you are selling and pally writes the listing, prices it from comparable sales rather than a guess, answers the questions that arrive, and brings you the serious offers instead of every lowball message.

Before you start

Common questions

Does pally negotiate on its own?+

Inside the ceiling and the conditions you gave it, yes. It cannot promise a seller says yes, so it brings you the real replies, the best offer on the table, and what it would do, and you decide from there.

How does payment work?+

The handoff stays yours. Pally arranges the meet and the time; you pay the seller in person however you agreed. It is not handing money to a stranger on your behalf before you have seen the item.

Can it sell things for me?+

Yes. Send photos and pally writes the listing, prices it against comparable sales, posts it, answers buyer questions, and brings you the offers worth reading rather than the whole inbox.
