MONEYSNAKE GUIDE
How MoneySnake works
MoneySnake turns a broad marketplace hunt into a shorter list of leads. It does not decide what an item is worth or tell you to buy it.
1. You define the hunt
Choose the product intent, marketplaces, maximum purchase price, minimum expected profit, minimum return on investment and appetite for risk. Focused mode stays close to your choices; broader modes test more related searches. These inputs are filters, not a guarantee that a suitable listing exists.
2. MoneySnake gathers and normalises listings
The search uses the marketplace providers configured for the site. Listing titles, asking prices, condition and other available evidence are put into a common format so candidates can be assessed consistently. A missing specification or ambiguous title remains an unknown—it is not silently treated as a good match.
3. It looks for comparable evidence
A useful comparison must describe substantially the same item: model, capacity, generation, included parts and condition can all change the resale value. MoneySnake uses available comparable listings to form an indicative value and reduces confidence when the evidence is thin or imprecise.
4. It estimates the remaining margin
The estimate considers the purchase price and configured assumptions such as selling costs, outbound postage, contingency and a cautious adjustment to comparable asking prices. Read the resale profit guide before treating the result as a budget.
5. It ranks the evidence, not certainty
A strong candidate has cleared the selected commercial thresholds with better supporting evidence. “Worth a Look” means the listing is close to a threshold. “Needs Verification” flags potential with weaker evidence. Rejected results remain visible for audit, but are not recommendations.
What the score cannot know
- A fault omitted from the description or photographs.
- Whether a buyer will pay an asking price, or how long a sale will take.
- Your account-specific fees, promotion choices, packaging cost, tax position or value of your time.
- Changes made to a marketplace listing after it was analysed.
