Deal Scanner
Deal Scanner watches all three and buzzes your phone when your item is listed.
Scan with your phone's camera to get the app.
The problem
The good listings are posted and sold the same day. By the time you message, there are ten guys ahead of you and the listing says "posted yesterday." All you ever see is the leftovers.
How it works
The item, your city, how far you'd drive, and your price range.
Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp and Craigslist, around the clock. Close the app and it keeps going.
When a match is listed. Tap it and you're on the listing while it's minutes old.
Know it's a real deal
Every find is checked against what it normally sells for near you, so you know it's a deal before you drive.

Pricing
Every plan watches all three marketplaces at the same speed. Plans only differ in how many searches you run at once. Only after one thing? Pay for the month you're looking and cancel when you've got it.
Billed through the App Store or Google Play. Cancel anytime in your phone's subscription settings.
Questions
Deal Scanner never asks for your Facebook, OfferUp or Craigslist login, and never touches your accounts. The watching happens on our end. Your account only comes into it when you tap through to a listing yourself.
Like any app subscription. iPhone: Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Android: Google Play → your profile picture → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions.
No account, no name, no email. The app keeps your searches, a rough location so it can find listings near you, and basic crash reports. It's tied to your device, not to you. We don't sell data or run ad trackers. This site counts visits without cookies.
It depends on your search. A common item with no price cap can mean dozens a day. A specific item in a tight price range might be a few a week. You can tighten or loosen it anytime, and set quiet hours.
No. If you're after one thing, a first car for a 16-year-old, a four-wheeler, a mower, pay for the month you're looking, get the deal, and cancel in your phone's subscription settings. Download it again next time. If you buy off Marketplace every month, keep it running.
No. Set a search once and close the app. The watching happens on our end.
