Daily marketplace deal finder

A first Grok Bot routine: scan a marketplace every morning for unusually cheap tech. The original also messages sellers; our version drafts messages for you to send.

What the source did

  • Set up a daily routine that searches Facebook Marketplace for tech deals.
  • Has the bot message sellers (our version adds an approval step).

Summary written by Agent Cookbook. See the original for the full context.

Copy the prompt

Ours Our version, based on what Offred described. Not their wording. Fill in the [BRACKETS].

Every morning: search [MARKETPLACE] within [RADIUS] of [AREA] for [ITEMS]. Flag listings at least [30]% below typical used price (show how you estimated it). For each: title, price, typical price, link, red flags (stock photos, no pickup, pay-first). Draft a polite message for each, but DO NOT send. I'll pick which ones to send.

Approval rule

🛡
Drafts only. You send or approve each message to a seller.

Set it up

  1. Log the box browser into the marketplace yourself.
  2. Run once and judge the deals.
  3. Save as a routine.

Common failures

⚠
  • Scam listings look like great deals; keep red-flag checks.
  • Marketplaces limit automated browsing; keep volume low.

Variations

  • Add a price ceiling per item.
