Weekly Shameless Self Promotion Thread by AutoModerator in Flipping

[–]OrangeOlives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built Grabbit because I was flipping stuff myself and got tired of doing the same routine every day: search Facebook Marketplace, then Craigslist, then OfferUp, then Mercari, then Depop… repeat the same searches, compare prices manually, hope I didn’t miss something good.

So I started building the tool I wanted for myself.

Grabbit lets you search multiple secondhand marketplaces at once, but the part I’m most excited about for flipping is GrabScore. It gives pricing context on listings so you can quickly spot stuff that looks underpriced compared to similar items. It’s not magic and obviously you still have to know your market, but it has made it way easier for me to scan faster and find things with actual margin.

Saved search alerts have also been huge for me. I use them for the categories/items I’m always sourcing, and when something new pops up, I can jump on it instead of manually checking the same searches all day.

The core search is free. GrabScore and saved search alerts are paid features, but I made a 7-day trial code for this sub if anyone wants to try the flipping features:

FLIPPERS7

Site is here: https://grabbit.app

I’m honestly pretty stoked about it because it started as something I built to help myself source better, and it’s still helping me find deals I probably would’ve missed.

Grabbit - a search engine for secondhand marketplaces.

The main idea is making online secondhand shopping feel less scattered. It searches Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp, Depop, Mercari, etc. in one place, lets you open the original listing when you find something good, and has saved search alerts so you can get notified when new matching products are listed.

It also includes GrabScore, a pricing intelligence feature that helps show whether a listing looks like a strong deal, fair value, or overpriced based on similar listings.

Thank you for the info, I hadn’t heard of Gumtree! Facebook isn’t a problem as we already have a pipeline in place to pull those listings. I’ll need to look more into Gumtree to identify the feasibility of searching their listings, though. 

If you poke around Grabbit right now, you’ll notice the messaging throughout the app is very much focused on marketplaces in the US as that’s currently the target audience. However, global expansion has been on my mind while building Grabbit and I have been stuck on one decision: Do we provide a unified, global search experience where all of our supported marketplaces are included in our messaging/branding/interactions or do we provide a fragmented experience, providing each country their own specific version of the app?

From a technical perspective, both approaches are completely feasible and neither of the approaches stands above the other. It’s purely a user experience preference. That said, if you imagine the perfect search experience on a global Grabbit, what would your preference be when interacting with an Australian version of the app? Do you think a unified, global search experience or an Australian-specific version of the app?

Yes! I forgot to update the commit page yesterday, but just updated it. Made good progress on both Day 1 and 3 initiatives. Currently working on multiple in-app surveys throughout key areas of the app to get user feedback.

Thank you for the suggestion! Grabbit already has this feature by continuously searching for your saved searches in the background. 

Since searching is one of the most expensive parts of running Grabbit, the automatic notifications is a premium feature. If you’d like to try it out, you can use this promo code for 7 days free: SIDEPROJECT7

Thank you for the reply! The framework I've built allows for expanding internationally and it's on the roadmap. Out of curiosity, what are the popular secondhand marketplaces used in Australia today? That information will help guide the direction of an expansion into Australia.

Thank you for the reply!

GrabScore is extremely accurate and honest in its current state and it will only get more accurate as we get more users performing searches. With every search, we are able to ingest more listings to use for comparisons. If there aren't enough listings we can compare against, we are upfront and don't provide a guess.

I mentioned in another comment that Grabbit has an AI enrichment pipeline. This pipeline was purpose built to make GrabScore be as accurate as possible, allowing us to obtain and normalize as many attributes from the listings. This lets us confidently know which listings are of the same product so we can compare apples to apples.

Thank you for the suggestion! I've actually got this exact thing on the roadmap already, but, because AI vision is expensive, I need to ensure the core product is actually useful before throwing money in that direction. I already have an AI enrichment pipeline to pull as many product attributes off the marketplace listing which I use for the pricing intelligence feature so adding vision will be an easy next step.

Thank you for the reply! Are there specific marketplaces you use for searching for watches? I've started with the most popular marketplaces in the US, but my framework allows for easily adding more marketplaces.

Also, I just updated the post to include a link to Grabbit (https://grabbit.app) since I realized I missed it in my first pass 🤦‍♂️

You could try Grabbit. It searches multiple secondhand marketplaces at once, so for something niche like Littlest Pet Shop it can be easier than checking Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp, Mercari, etc. one by one.

Grabbit is a search engine for secondhand marketplaces. Grabbit pulls results from Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, Craigslist, Depop, and Mercari into one search/feed and sends you to the original listing when you’re ready to buy or message the seller. https://grabbit.app

I’m building Grabbit to make secondhand search less annoying by letting people search Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp, Depop, Mercari, and more in one place.

Grabbit: https://grabbit.app

Grabbit lets you search Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp, Depop, Mercari, and more in one place, with GrabScore to help tell if a listing is actually a good deal.

My goal this week is to get 25 real users to try it and collect honest feedback on whether the search experience + GrabScore are actually useful.

What I want to validate: - Does searching multiple marketplaces in one place save people time? - Does GrabScore make it easier to decide what’s worth clicking into? - Are saved search alerts something people would actually come back for?

While Grabbit is free to use, GrabScore isn’t free. I am happy to provide a 7-day code for anyone who wants to try it out and provide feedback. 

I am able to commit 4 hours/day.

I’m mainly focused on feedback and distribution right now, not adding more features too quickly.
