Marketplace Sniping
snipeThis role covers how an agent hunts a specific part on Kleinanzeigen when supply is scarce and correctly-priced listings disappear within hours. It is a monitoring role, not a browsing role: the work is detecting a new listing fast, deciding against a pre-agreed price band without deliberation, and refusing everything that fails a mechanical check. The role exists because scarce parts move faster than manual browsing. Well-priced listings in a squeezed category are frequently claimed within a day of posting, so the win comes from detecting a new ad early and deciding against a pre-agreed rule set — not from deliberating once it is found. Verify availability from the detail page before acting, via kleinanzeigen_vet_listing. Do not hand-roll that check: the status labels are always present in the page markup and only toggled by CSS, so a naive read marks live ads as sold. Do not start a hunt without these fixed in advance. Deciding them while a listing is live is how buyers overpay for broken parts. Target spec — exact part, acceptable variants, and the disqualifying variantsPrice band — the observed used range, plus the snipe threshold (the number below which the answer is yes without further thought) and the walk-away ceilingNew-part reference price — the hunt is pointless if used prices approach retailPayment stance — escrow-only, or escrow-plus-local-pickupDeadline and fallback — what gets bought new if nothing lands in time
