One buying decision. A record through the final payout.

1. Start with the money and inventory you actually have

In a real workspace, enter your current cash, protected reserve, credit limit, credit already used, and existing inventory exposure. Review selling-cost defaults and the buying rules you want applied to new opportunities.

These are operating inputs, so setup asks you to confirm that the balances and exposures are real. Demo balances are not copied into a pilot workspace. Credit already used reduces the credit still available for another purchase.

2. Capture an opportunity and the evidence behind it

Add an item manually or import opportunities using the CSV workflow. Capture what you could buy, quantity, cost, expected and lower sale prices, selling costs, and when you expect cash to return. Include the source and date of the price evidence.

Unknown required information stays unknown. You can preserve an incomplete opportunity and return to it instead of entering a made-up zero to get past a form. ResaleCraft shows Needs information until the required facts are complete.

For CSV intake, review the column mapping and validation preview before accepting rows. The pilot supports reusable mapping presets, duplicate checks, and downloadable row errors. It does not pull live comparables or connect to a marketplace account.

Prepare an opportunity or payout CSV with exact field definitions and synthetic examples.

Use the inventory buying checklist to prepare the facts for a buy.

3. Read the recommendation and its reason

The purchase decision shows the recommendation before the detailed calculations. Review total purchase cost, expected deal profit, lower-price profit, and expected time until cash returns alongside the cash and rules behind the answer.

Ready to buy

The entered opportunity clears the current buying checks. The result still depends on the assumptions you supplied.

Wait

The numbers may work, but timing or price evidence needs attention. Read the specific reason and review those assumptions before deciding.

Skip

The entered opportunity fails a relevant buying rule. Review the failed check rather than relying on the headline return.

Needs information

Required facts are missing or cannot support a complete recommendation. Resolve them before approving a purchase.

Several opportunities can compete for the same available money. Review their allocation together rather than treating each as if it could use the full balance. An exception to a Wait or Skip recommendation requires a reason; an exception does not replace missing facts.

When you save a decision, the forecast and its inputs are preserved. Later cost corrections and outcomes do not rewrite what you believed at the time.

4. Confirm what you bought and what it cost

A saved buying decision and an actual purchase are separate steps. Confirm the funding and actual purchase when it happens. Track what arrived, reconcile total acquisition cost, and record corrections with their context.

Partial arrival, cancellation, supplier returns, and later reimbursements need explicit records. A supplier promising money back is different from receiving it. The purchase history lets you preserve that distinction while keeping the original decision intact.

Add notes and schedule a thesis review when inventory runs beyond the original plan. A new review adds context; it does not silently replace the original forecast or decide an exit for you.

5. Match sales, refunds, and adjustments to the purchase

Import settlement rows, review their consequences, and match them to purchased inventory. Partial sales release cash while remaining units stay visible. Refunds and fee adjustments need their own review, including whether a refund reopens an earlier result.

Bulk verification is limited to ordinary sales with one eligible purchase. Ambiguous rows, refunds, adjustments, and blocked matches require individual attention. If a payout covers multiple purchases and cannot be matched safely, leave it visible for review.

Read the payout reconciliation guide for the practical checks before matching.

6. Compare the actual result with the saved estimate

Open the result to trace net payouts, actual total cost, and the difference from the original forecast. Only fully closed purchases with verified total cost qualify for estimate-accuracy summaries. Open inventory and unresolved costs should not look like completed evidence.

Results describe your recorded outcomes. The pilot does not automatically change future estimates based on them, and demo activity is never counted as pilot performance. Use the comparison to decide which assumptions you want to revisit for the next opportunity.

What the current pilot covers

The pilot supports USD workflows, manual entry, CSV imports, purchase and payout review, data export, and account deletion. Access is approved individually. It does not offer automated purchasing, live market-price feeds, marketplace synchronization, or general tax preparation.
