About ClearList

What is ClearList?

ClearList is an AI-powered moving sale platform. Snap photos of items you want to sell, and AI generates complete listings — title, description, price suggestion, dimensions, and weight — in about 30 seconds. You get one shareable sale page link with an automatic buyer queue. No more drowning in messages.

How does ClearList work?

Three steps: (1) Take a photo of something you want to sell. (2) AI analyzes it and creates the listing — title, description, suggested price, dimensions, weight estimate, and condition. (3) Share your sale page link. Buyers browse, add items to their pickup basket, and join a fair queue. You always know who’s first.

Is ClearList free?

Yes! You can list up to 5 items free for 3 days. That’s enough for a small move. If you need more, Full Access is a one-time $5 payment (not a subscription) for 50 items over 30 days. That’s less than a coffee.

How is ClearList different from Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist?

Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist require you to manually write listings, research prices, manage scattered messages across platforms, and figure out who messaged first. ClearList automates listing creation with AI, gives you one shareable page for all your items, provides an automatic buyer queue (FIFO — first come, first served), and keeps your address private until you explicitly share it. For moving sales with lots of items, ClearList turns a 3–4 hour process into under 20 minutes.

Selling & Moving

What’s the best app to sell my stuff when I’m moving?

If you’re selling multiple items during a move, ClearList is purpose-built for exactly this scenario. Unlike general marketplace apps (Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp), ClearList is designed for the “sell everything fast” context: AI creates listings from photos in 30 seconds, you get a single sharable page, and a buyer queue manages who’s first — so you don’t drown in 500 messages about a couch.

How do I run a moving sale?

The modern approach: photograph your items with ClearList, let AI generate listings (with prices, descriptions, and dimensions), publish your sale page, and share the link on social media and with neighbors. Buyers reserve items through the queue system and pick up on your schedule. No yard sale signs, no strangers showing up unannounced, no price research needed.

How do I price used furniture?

ClearList’s AI suggests prices based on brand, condition, and current market value. As a rule of thumb: used furniture in good condition typically sells for 40–60% of retail price. IKEA furniture tends to sell below 50% of retail. High-quality or designer pieces hold their value better. The AI price comes with a range (low–high) so you can choose where to set it.

How do I sell furniture locally?

List it on ClearList — take photos, let AI generate the listing with dimensions and weight, then share your sale page link on social media, neighborhood groups, or with friends. Buyers can see exact dimensions (which 70% of furniture buyers ask about), join a queue, and schedule pickup. Your address stays private until you’re ready to share it with the confirmed buyer.

Buyer Experience

Do buyers need to create an account?

No. Buyers just browse your sale page, add items to their pickup basket, and verify their email with a 6-digit code. No app download, no account creation, no password. They get an email confirmation with pickup details.

How does the buyer queue work?

Each item has a fair, first-come-first-served queue (max 3 buyers). When a buyer reserves an item, they get a 48-hour pickup window. If they don’t pick up in time, the next buyer in queue automatically gets their chance. No more “who messaged first?” confusion.

How does pickup scheduling work?

If a seller enables pickup scheduling, buyers can select a time slot when they reserve items. The seller sets their available hours (e.g., Saturday 10am–2pm), and buyers pick a slot that works. This extends the pickup window to 72 hours and eliminates back-and-forth messages about timing.

Privacy & Safety

Is my address kept private?

Yes. Buyers only see your city and state on the sale page. Your street address is never shared automatically. When you’re ready for a buyer to pick up, you manually tap “Share Address” in the inbox, confirm in a dialog, and only then does that specific buyer see your address.

Is ClearList safe to use?

ClearList is designed with privacy first. Your address is never shared without your explicit confirmation. Buyers verify their email before reserving. The queue system means you deal with one buyer at a time (not dozens of strangers at once). All communication flows through the ClearList inbox — no need to give out your personal phone number or email.

AI & Technology

How accurate is the AI pricing?

The AI suggests prices based on brand recognition, condition assessment, and used market data. It provides a price range (low to high) with reasoning. It’s a starting point — you can always adjust. For recognized brands and common items, accuracy is high. For unique or vintage items, treat it as a baseline and apply your own judgment.

How does AI extract dimensions from photos?

The AI uses product databases and visual analysis to estimate dimensions. When it recognizes a specific product model (e.g., “IKEA KALLAX shelf”), it pulls manufacturer specs. For unrecognized items, it estimates from the photo. Each measurement comes with a confidence indicator — green (high), yellow (medium), or red (low) — so buyers know how reliable the numbers are.
