## Prompt

```text
Help me sell items I don't need anymore.

**Items to sell:** [for each: what it is, brand or model, age, condition, original price if known, any flaws]
**Where I live:** [city or region, to judge local vs. shipping]
**How much effort I want to put in:** [e.g. "quick sale, fair price", "maximize price, I can wait"]
**Selling options I can use:** [local marketplace apps, online auction sites, consignment, yard sale]
**Prices I've seen for similar items:** [LISTINGS I FOUND, or "none yet"]

Give me:
1. For each item: the best type of place to sell it, a suggested price range based only on the comparable listings I provided (or [CHECK SOLD LISTINGS] if I gave none), and a firm minimum.
2. A listing for each item: a searchable title and a short, honest description that mentions flaws upfront.
3. Photo tips: what angles and details to show for each type of item.
4. Replies to common buyer messages: "Is this still available?", lowball offers, and requests to hold the item.
5. Safety rules: meet in a public place or a police-station exchange zone, bring someone along for big items, accept secure payment methods, and watch for overpayment and fake payment-confirmation scams.
6. What to do with items that don't sell: donate, bundle, or recycle.

Keep it practical and quick to act on.
