Batch Listing SOLD / LIVE Status Verification
Pass a list of OfferUp item URLs in startUrls to verify in seconds whether tracked deals are still LISTED, marked SOLD, or removed.
Multi-ZIP Geo-Targeting & Seller Trust Scores

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does automatic price-drop detection work on OfferUp?
The Actor compares each item's originalPrice against its current price and computes priceDropAmount ($) and priceDropPercent (%) alongside isFirmPrice flags.
Q: Can I filter for cracked/for-parts phones or open-box electronics?
Yes. Use conditionFilter ('for_parts', 'like_new', 'new', 'good', 'fair') across Cell Phones, Computers, and Video Games to source high-margin repair and resale inventory.
Q: How do I batch-check if tracked OfferUp deals have sold?
Pass your saved https://offerup.com/item/detail/<id> URLs in startUrls and the Actor returns whether each listing is still LISTED, SOLD, or NOT_FOUND.
Q: Can I trigger instant Telegram or Slack alerts for under-market deals?
Yes. Pair this Actor with our pre-built n8n OfferUp Deal Monitor workflow to score new listings and alert your buying team in real time.
