📱 Reloot vs selling on social media
Selling through stories, buy-and-sell groups or your WhatsApp status only reaches your contacts: you guess the price, write the post yourself and reply to every message by hand. Reloot identifies the item from a photo, gives you the real resale price, writes the listing, assists you in the negotiation and posts it to a catalog with buyers searching.

The bottom line
Social media is free but all the work — and the risk — is on you: pricing, copywriting, reach and enduring the haggling. Reloot does that work with AI and gives you a catalog people enter to buy, not to scroll. More reach, better price, less friction.
Appraise yours freeFrequently asked
＋ Why isn't selling on Instagram or Facebook groups enough?
You can, but you only reach whoever already follows you or is in that group, and you do everything by hand: price, text and negotiation. Reloot gives you the appraisal, the listing and the negotiation assistant, and adds your item to a catalog built for buying.
＋ Does Reloot build the post for me?
Yes. From a photo it identifies the item, computes an indicative resale range and drafts a ready-to-post title and description. You review and confirm; you don't start from a blank page.
