🧰 Before you start

🪜 Steps (tick as you go)

  1. ☐
    1. Choose what you know

    Pick categories you can judge in person, such as furniture, tools, cameras or phones. Knowing the item is what protects you from fakes.

  2. ☐
    2. Create the bot

    Create a new Bot (the video calls it Penny).

  3. ☐
    3. Sign in on the Bot's computer

    Open the Bot, switch to its Computer tab and sign in to Facebook yourself. Never paste your password into the chat.

  4. ☐
    4. Paste the flip-finder prompt

    Fill in the 'Flip finder' prompt below with your area, distance and categories, then send it.

  5. ☐
    5. Check the numbers

    For each find, open the eBay sold listings yourself and subtract selling fees and postage before deciding.

  6. ☐
    6. Say yes or no to messages

    Only let the Bot send a simple 'Is this still available?' message after you approve it. Arrange collection yourself.

  7. ☐
    7. Inspect before you pay

    Meet in a safe public place, test the item and never pay a deposit up front for something you haven't seen.

💬 Prompts to copy

💬 Flip finder (based on the prompt read out in the video)
You are [bot name], my flip finder. Every day, check Facebook Marketplace and eBay within [25] km of [my town] for free or underpriced [categories].
For each item, check what similar items have actually sold for on eBay (sold listings, not asking prices), then estimate profit after selling fees and postage.
Put everything in a table with a screenshot, link, asking price, typical sold price and estimated profit, and send me the three best.
For each, ask me: 'Want me to message: is this available?' Never send a message, make an offer or pay for anything without my yes.
