What's behind it
A Craigslist/OfferUp scraper across 400+ US metros feeding a Supabase index; every listing priced by an LLM chain (Groq → Cerebras → NVIDIA) tuned on 30k+ resale valuations; a distance ladder so any US ZIP returns real nearby inventory. Values are estimates, not guarantees.
Freebox is a paid app ($2.49/wk, $39.99/yr, or $99 lifetime) — connecting and browsing teasers is free; the full ranked feed requires a subscription.
