Watch Marketplace for the deal you want

The problem

You have been hunting a used Herman Miller chair under 400 dollars for months. Muse watches and pings you the minute one appears.

Before you start

• Read Marketplace listings
• Send messages on your behalf

Steps

1. Describe exactly what you want: item, maximum price, radius, condition.
2. Muse monitors Facebook Marketplace and other listing sites on a schedule.
3. The Ideas tab may suggest this itself. In testing, Muse noticed someone browsing office furniture and proposed recurring desk searches.
4. When a match appears you get a WhatsApp ping with the listing, price history where available, and a draft message to the seller.
5. You approve the message or the purchase. Muse never buys unprompted.

The result

Set the frequency and price rules explicitly, or enthusiastic monitoring becomes notification spam. Approval gates: Outreach and purchase approvals.
