The problem it solves

Finding worthwhile garage sales means checking listing sites yourself and guessing which ones are actually close by. By the time you get around to browsing, the best sales of the day may already be picked over.

Who it fits

Resale sellers, collectors, or anyone who regularly shops garage sales for deals.

How it works

  1. Your location is checked each morning
  2. The automation scans local garage sale listings
  3. Listings are filtered for quality and distance from you
  4. A formatted list is sent to your Telegram
What you get

Garage sales you hear about before they sell out

You get a fresh, filtered list of nearby garage sales delivered to your phone every morning, ready to plan your day around.

What you get

A daily Telegram message listing nearby garage sales worth checking out.

What you need

A Telegram account and a way to share your daily location, such as Home Assistant.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
