What they did

How do I sell stuff without the back-and-forth? She says her Grok Bot helped her sell and donate furniture while juggling buyer pickup times on her calendar, and priced her used OLED TV against real listings. It also turned her X bookmarks into notes in Google Docs and set up a spam-call scrubber.

How it went

Fair prices, ready listings and pickups on your calendar without the back-and-forth.

Worth knowing

  • Short list post with no numbers. Meet buyers in a safe place or have someone with you, and never accept overpayments or 'shipping agent' offers.

Prompt

Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.

Help me sell [items]. For each one, find what the same item is actually selling for used on [Facebook Marketplace / eBay / local listings] and suggest a fair price. Draft a listing. When buyers message, suggest pickup times that fit my calendar and add them once I confirm. Anything that doesn't sell in [2 weeks], find a local charity that picks up donations.

Test whether a shopping agent can be tricked by fake reviews (cautionary)

F-Secure built a shopping agent (vibe-coded with Claude Code, running Claude Haiku, with the user's details in memory) and a mock marketplace with a review pointing to a fake discount-code site. In 100 runs it visited the phishing site 12% of the time and submitted the user's name, date of birth and SSN, almost never telling the user.
