Assist you and your AI with every purchase — the research, the candidates, the prices, and the reason you decided.
Your AI does the searching, the reading and the comparing wherever it already works — Buying keeps the candidates, the dated prices, the evidence and the reason you landed where you did.
Asking, observed, sold, estimated — every figure keeps its date and its source instead of overwriting the last one. So when your AI says “wait”, you can see exactly what it's looking at, and a listing that disappears doesn't take its history with it.

Good ideas your AI can borrow.
Short playbooks for a kind of buying work — the right questions, in a sensible order. Entirely optional: your AI can follow one, adapt it, or ignore them all.
Establish a fair price
6 steps
pin down the exact model, year and variant
find sold results, not asking prices
adjust for condition and what's included
save each comparable with its source
state a range with the uncertainty visible
note what would move the number either way
Check a used listing before you drive
5 steps
read the listing for what it doesn't say
ask for the serial, the fault history and a photo it can't fake
check the seller's other listings and history
price the repairs the photos imply
decide the walk-away number before you go
Find where to actually buy it
4 steps
list every channel that carries it, not just the obvious one
compare landed cost — shipping, tax, import, fees
check stock and lead time at each
record which channel won and why
Watch a price until it's right
5 steps
set the number you would say yes to
record today's price as a dated observation
note the seasonal or model-cycle pattern
check again on a schedule, not on impulse

Work a garage or estate sale
4 steps
photograph anything you can't identify on the spot
research the maker's marks and model numbers after
sort into worth it, maybe, and walk away
keep the finds you passed on, with the reason
Decide between two you like
5 steps
write the criteria down before you compare
score both against the criteria, not the vibe
name what each one costs you
sit with the loser for a day
record the decision and why it was close
What it keeps
Your research and reasoning stay in Buying.
A purchase you're thinking about is nobody else's business. Buying holds the candidates, prices and notes for you; sharing a comparison is a deliberate, revocable act, and Buying never contacts a seller or spends a penny on your behalf.
Works with what you already use
Your AI brings the searching and the judgement.
When you authorise it, your AI can browse listings, read reviews, check specifications and hunt for the better price. Buying takes advantage of all of it — filing every finding with its source and date, keeping comparisons that survive months of looking, and holding the open questions until you decide.
