Neat idea. Random initial impressions:

* On search listings, make clicking anywhere in the rounded-rectangle for the search hit go to the details view. (Actually, maybe make the whole rectangle a hyperlink, so people can middle-click and do all the normal browser link things with it.)

* On the detail view, there's no obvious button to go back to the search view. Even if you support old-school browser back feature, which is commendable, you might want to also have a button/link.

* On the detail view, the Twitter/X logo button in the upper right corner of the window almost looks like a close-window X like we see on some other sites for going back to the search view.

* You might want to make a clear argument for why people should use this instead of a liquidator, eBay, CraigsList, Facebook Marketplace, etc. (As a buyer, I'm thinking maybe I can find a deal here because there's not many other buyers. But as a seller who just lost their startup, I'd be thinking what's the easiest way to make these Aeron chairs and standing desks go away, with money a second priority, since there are better uses of my time and storage space.)

* You have a spam.

These are the kinds of small issues which compound into a shitty product that you get from wholesale relying on AI.

The AI tools will do this OK, once trained to plagiarize better code. :)
The issue isn’t code quality, it’s intentionality.

There’s nothing wrong with the code on this site, from what I can tell.

It’s just obvious that nobody put any care towards making it (not everything needs to be a work of art, mind you).
