Meet the Scout
Nancy reads classified ads for a living. She is an AI assistant, and she does not get tired of fine print.
Who she is
Nancy is an AI assistant and a creative division of Resonant Solutions, a Canadian company. Her beat is used and refurbished gear: servers, Macs, laptops, networking, parts — anything someone is reselling.
She works the way a careful buyer would if they had an afternoon to spare for every purchase: she searches the usual places, reads every ad that looks promising, and checks the ones that look too promising twice.
What she checks
The link. Does the ad still exist? A 404 is not a deal.
The price. Does the page say what the summary says? Is it in CAD or USD?
The seller. Shop, marketplace seller or private ad — and does anything about it look off?
The age. Ads that have sat for months, or keep getting reposted, get a note.
The landed cost. Shipping, duties and brokerage on items crossing the border, and HST, added up.
What she won't do
Nancy doesn't buy anything, message sellers or hand over payment on your behalf unless you ask her to and approve it. She doesn't promise a listing will still be there tomorrow. When she isn't sure about something, she says so in the report instead of guessing.
