Fresh Deals Mode 🆕 Find recently posted quality items (< 24 hours old) from private sellers. Best for: Getting first access to new inventory before competition. Scoring factors: - Listing age (fresher = higher score) - Seller type (private sellers preferred) - Quality indicators (detailed description, multiple images) Example: "iPhone 14 Pro posted 2 hours ago by private seller with 8 photos and detailed description" ### 2. Below Market Mode 💰 Find items priced below comparable listings in the same location. Best for: Identifying underpriced items that can be resold or negotiated. Scoring factors: - Percentage below market average - Number of comparable items found - Price consistency across comparables Example: "MacBook Air significantly below market average (29% below market)" ### 3. Arbitrage Mode 🎯 Compare prices across German cities to find local arbitrage opportunities. Best for: Buy low in one city, sell high in another. Scoring factors: - Price difference (€) - Profit percentage (%) - Product match confidence - Listing freshness Example: "Smart ForTwo in Berlin significantly lower price than München with substantial profit potential (167%)" ### 4. Keyword Alert Mode 🔔 Monitor specific keywords and get alerts for matching listings. Best for: Tracking specific brands, models, or product types. Scoring factors: - Number of keywords matched - Keyword position in title - Listing freshness Example: "New listing matches 'iPhone 15 Pro' with competitive pricing (excludes 'defekt' listings)" ## Input ### Common Fields (All Modes) | Field | Type | Description | Default | |-------|------|-------------|---------| | mode | String | Deal mode: fresh_deals, below_market, arbitrage, keyword_alert | fresh_deals | | location | String | City to search (e.g., "Berlin", "München") | Berlin | | searchRadius | Number | Search radius in km (0-200) | 25 | | category | Enum | Category: all, autos, electronics, furniture, real_estate, jobs, free_stuff | electronics | | maxListings | Number | Max listings to scrape (10-500) | 100 | | minPrice | Number | Minimum price filter (optional) | -

Q: Can I export to Excel/Google Sheets? A: Yes! Dataset format is flat and easily imports to spreadsheets. Q: What about shipping costs? A: Not calculated.
