Currently, I operate several eBay shops in different categories as a full-time job.
In my spare time I like to indulge in writing mobile game guides and reporting on my reselling activities. I occasionally write guides related to Get Paid To sites like FreeCash and Swagbucks, but less than I used to.
I previously hosted wikis for: Apex Girl, Road to Rich, Dark Brides, and Passion Pit. In an effort to return this site to Family Friendly skies, I have removed such content.
Reaching level 100 in Sword x Staff within 30 days is entirely possible with an optimized daily routine.
Because the game heavily utilizes idle AFK progression, careful resource management from Day 1 will allow you to keep pace with spending players without dropping any cash.
For tips on how to get the AFK resting and daily commission routine just right:
BEST tips to power up FAST in Sword x Staff
Daily Priority Tasks
Commissions First: Complete all daily commissions immediately to secure foundational regional currency and high-yield experience rewards.
Stamina Utilization: Never let your stamina cap; sweep overworld enemies or farm high-level ore nodes to maintain steady gear and combat power scaling.
Zone Exploration: Push map boundaries in newer regions constantly, as uncovering zones provides permanent passive stacking percentage gains to your overall progress.
Progression and Resource Management
Upgrade Evenly: Balance your gear, skill levels, and phantomon pets concurrently rather than over-investing in a single category.
Join an Active Guild: Early guild hall access grants crucial group rewards, passive buffs, and cooperative boosts that significantly cut down time-to-level.
Prepare for the Milestone: Remember that level 100 unlocks your free, lossless class transition and transitions your account into major seasonal mechanics.
Strategy
You must balance active zone exploration in Long Haven, strict stamina management, and maximizing your idle AFK resting experience.
Your idle reward cart accumulates character experience, traits, and Kronos over time. Prioritize upgrades that boost your passive AFK accumulation rates early to accelerate your baseline level growth.
When preparing for a long period away from the game, ensure you uncheck the “quick claim” option. This allows you to stack up to 35 hours of idle experience bonus to burst-level your character when you log back in.
Always clear your daily regional commissions completely before working on map exploration. They offer the highest direct, un-capped experience injections available each day.
Super Critical Steps for F2P
Every single day, navigate to your vault to claim your free stamina. You must also use your accumulated free currency to purchase Destiny Fruits, Refined Ore, and Quest Scrolls. These are non-negotiable must-buys for F2P account scaling.
When running your daily dungeons, never accept a completion tier lower than an S-rank. If your team is failing to hit an S-rank on hard mode, quit the lobby before completion and rejoin to preserve your daily attempts.
Do not waste your free premium currency on generic banner summons. Save your Chaos Crystals exclusively for the Primal Forge relic when the Mysterious Merchant appears, as its permanent 10% home raw ore yield bonus is essential for F2P progression.
하고싶은RPG, is a Simulation / Collectible RPG (Gacha) mobile game.
As of writing, the title is in a closed release for Korean players only. A future Global release is planned.
Due to the rating of the game, I will limit most post content to text.
Combat proceeds in a side-scrolling manner, where you form a party of 5 members, consume stamina vitamins to enter a dungeon.
The following information was gathered from Namu Wiki entry for Make Drama, and edited using Google Gemini to improve English language conversion from the original Korean Hangul language.
The story takes place in an alternate world known as ‘Idea.’ The protagonist is a “Master” summoned by Idea’s three goddesses: the first goddess, Ami; the second (unnamed); and the third, Dandelion.
A Modern Twist on the Isekai Genre
While the concept of goddesses typically points to a medieval high-fantasy setting, Idea is quite the opposite—it is a world structurally identical to modern Earth.
The protagonist technically fits the classic trope of an Isekai (another world) hero:
He is chosen and summoned by divine entities.
He receives a blessing called a ‘Crown’ from the goddesses to boost his own strength.
He can share his ‘Holy Power’ to empower his companions.
However, where typical Isekai protagonists are revered as legendary figures, the main character of this work receives almost no special treatment or benefits within the story. Instead, he simply leads a mundane life, diligently taking care of his everyday responsibilities—subverting the traditional power-fantasy clichés.
Society and Demographics
Idea is divided into various ‘Metropolises’—such as Humanitas and Vermont—each boasting its own distinct culture, much like the urban hubs found in other creative fiction. The world is also home to diverse fantasy races, including humans, demons, beastmen, and angels.
The Unique Predicament
Despite their cultural and racial diversity, every society in Idea shares one major commonality: the entire population consists exclusively of women. There is not a single native male in the entire world, making the summoned protagonist the sole male existence in Idea.
According to Ami, the protagonist was specifically summoned because of his gender, making his role in this world incredibly vital. However, she deliberately keeps him in the dark, withholding any explanation of what he is actually supposed to do.
Metropolis – Humanitas
A metropolis built upon massive capital and towering technological prowess.
While it appears that corporations and money dominate every facet of existence, free spirits dwelling in the cracks continue to live out their lives in their own unique ways.
In this world where common sense does not prevail, lies a city so peculiar that one wonders just how it manages to function at all—a place where order and chaos, control and freedom, exist side by side.
This place is called 【Humanitas】.
Metropolis – Bermont
A beautiful city of culture where sensibility and art come alive. Amidst the precarious coexistence of religion and magic, the people here seek the ultimate truth.
While the majority of the population believes in a deity called ‘Harmonix,’ the city firmly guarantees freedom of religion. However, non-believers simply miss out on the countless exclusive events and perks offered solely to the faithful…
This place, where even faith is transformed into a source of entertainment, is called 【Bermont】.

Philharmonic Monastery
Name: Ines
CV: Kokoro Moriya
Bio: The Succubus Abbot of the Philharmonic.
The Succubus Mother Superior who proclaims the love of Harmonix. After being recognized for her benevolent nature and faith and becoming a high-ranking cleric, she strives to distance herself from worldly desires in order to be a role model for the other nuns. She appears to be concerned about her tail, which tends to move uncontrollably according to instinct.
A 3-star character with the Passion attribute in the Support position.
Her 1st skill, ‘Enchanting Invitation,’ inflicts Charm on the opponent. Her linked passive, ‘Faithful Succubus,’ grants a buff that increases healing power by 10% (15% at maximum grade) when Charm is triggered. Stacks up to 10 times.
The 2nd skill, ‘Rampaging Desire,’ combines damage dealing and healing by attacking the nearest enemy relative to itself and then restoring the HP of the ally with the lowest HP. When the burst skill ‘Prayer to Control the Inner Self’ is activated, in addition to area healing, it lays down a healing field that lasts for 10 seconds centered on the ally with the lowest HP percentage.
It boasts a very high basic healing amount, and even when facing a boss monster that is immune to status effects, its basic performance is so solid that it allows the front line to survive longer, making it a top priority character for rerolling.
During the burst animation, it knocks away the tail that interferes with the prayer to calm it down, and then receives the blessing of Harmonix.
Name: Airen
CV: Kase Shiu
Bio: Sisters of the Philharmonic
Name: Lucia
CV: Momose Yuzuki
Bio: An influencer girl with a huge following
An influencer nun with a massive following. She spreads faith and ‘likes’ with her incredible friendliness and sparkling smile. Rumor has it that Lucia occasionally hosts secret parties disguised as prayer meetings late at night.
A 2-star character with the Desire attribute and support position.
Her 1st skill, ‘Power of Healing,’ is a single-target healing skill that targets and heals the ally with the lowest HP. Her 2nd skill, ‘Light Divine Punishment,’ is an area-of-effect damage skill and utility skill that deals damage to 3 random enemies and removes the target’s continuous healing effect. Her burst skill, ‘With Harmonix,’ is an area-of-effect healing skill that heals all allies. Her passive skill, ‘Increase Followers,’ which can be obtained starting from 3 stars, increases Lucia’s attack power and healing power.
When her burst skill is activated, the animation shows Harmonix, who is angry that Lucia is running around with other nuns instead of praying, taking out a Bible and praying just before exploding, and then giving a thumbs up Harmonix is relieved.

In April, I update a whole bunch of posts and even hit the republish button on them. That would account for the high number of posts listed for April. I don’t normally write that much unless I am inspired.
I did play some mobile games, but didn’t see much traction on the guides I wrote for them. I did some housekeeping in the wikis and cleaned up the Dragon Traveler and Cheerleaders GO collections.
Dragon Traveler has a big audience, so adding details to the wiki really improved my site traffic.
Unfortunately, there is now an English language mirror wiki from the official Dragon Soul Traveler (龍魂旅人) wiki that has received official recognition. I can’t really compete with a dedicated site with editors and authors.
If you do a Google Search for “Dragon Traveler wiki,” this site in in position 4, while the new dtwiki site is number 1.

June was a slim month mostly because I was busy with my eBay stores and my travel blog Kasanje Travel’s. I enjoy street photography and local trips by car.
So, I didn’t do any game offers during this month. That meant I had no new content for this site.
Other Income Streams
Affiliates
I signed up for a couple of Affiliate programs however I have not had any earning from those platforms yet.
I have ads for the affiliates on most site pages in the sidebar.
eBay
I also include links to my four eBay channels: lafemme1st, fatwalletrefugee (FWR), golfforless, and kingcastlehomeimprovement. Sales are sporadic in the golf and hardware stores, this is primarily limited by my ability to acquire and stock quality goods in these area.
The majority of my eBay earnings come from the FWR and La Femme 1st stores. I sell men and women’s apparel primarily, although FWR does stock various knickknacks I’ve hopefully picked up.
eBooks
I briefly got into Amazon eBooks back in 2023 with the arrival of generative AI. I have since lost interest in that area and not been proactive in creating content.
The few items I have published do occasionally get viewed on Kindle Unlimited and I receive a few pennies now and then. It’s surprising since the AI tech back then was fairly rudimentary compared to the perfect images contemporary engines can create.
I started this offer through InboxDollars with a maximum payout of $119 for reaching Chief Hall 24 in 45 days. The terms include 4 required purchases which are partially reimbursed (50%).
There’s also several times goals, such as reaching Chief Hall 9 on your first day of play, and Chief Hall 16 by the 5th day. Both goals also require an in-app purchase. This can be accomplished by completing the other spending goals.
Viking Rise is a standard 4X Game with a Norse theme, there are several other “Viking” themed mobile games with similar design and format.
I am stopping here. I reached Chief Hall level 21 and the $3.78 went pending. I still have 13 days left on the offer, but I don’t have enough resources or speed up items to cover the necessary constructions.
My total spent on this offer was $7.45 (including tax). I received $28.75 from completing goals. So my total earned was $21.30 for 32 days of efforts.
Day 18
I just used a 7-Day speedup to finish construction on Chief Hall 19. I also made a 3rd in-app purchase.
I’m just buying the dollar deals using Google Play credit.
I should now qualify for the +$15.75 goal.
Tip: I’ve found the Iron Smelter (Dragon Lair) function really useful after I burned through my free resources. I got some 50k Wood items from the shop and then added them to the Smelter. It multiplies your items after a lengthy cooldown period. I have mine set for every 8 hours. Sometimes I will only double the item, but when I get lucky, it turns into a 150k item.
Alliance: I hopped around a couple times, and now I am with a small group near the edge of the map. There’s less chance of getting raided way out in the boonies. When collecting resources inside alliance territory, there is a 25% bonus speed.
Heroes: I have focused mostly on raising the level of my heroes that get economic bonuses. The Blue and Purple heroes are much easier to get shards for, and they are mostly economic-focused.
Day 10
I’ve started upgrading the Chief Hall (CH) to 16. I missed the bonus goal for CH 16. My next reward is at CH 18.
It’s gonna take 5.5 days to complete, I used most of my speed ups getting to this point and I burned through my resource items.
Getting to CH 16 in 5 days may be possible with speed packs, there are a couple good ones in the shop, but the cost outstrips the reward.
Offer Terms
Alternative Offer (Hero Collection)
On other play-to-earn platforms, the offer terms are to collect 23 Heroes.
There are actually only 22 heroes available Free-to-Play (F2P), so if you are doing that offer, you will need to complete the “First Purchase” event to get the special hero.
The following guide was written by happyadjustablespnrs in the Inbox_Pounds subreddit. Be sure to give the original post an upvote if you find this useful.
Viking Rise Tips
Viking Rise on Inbox Pounds offers £34.10 for collecting 23 heroes. For a ‘free to play’ attempt there are only 24 currently available.
I got 23 with only 2 x £0.99 purchases but potentially could have done it with just 1 x.
These heroes you’ll likely get through normal gameplay (early part of story, and LOTS of Hall of Valor summons):
Svienn
Waltham
Ulf
Eugen
Lindy
Snorri
Erik
Michaela
Wooden
Olena
Cecia
Ivor
These heroes may need more work:
Leidolf – available through the Leidolf in h Hiding event. There should be some Iron or Bronze bells in your inventory from normal gameplay, uses these to summon an enemy that can be defeated to get Leidolf shards.
Sheila – Can’t remember how I obtain this one sorry.
Rollo – obtainable by getting to floor 5 (I think) in the Rollo challenge which unlocks quite early. Isn’t too much hassle to do the dungeon game and then you don’t need to play this again.
Jens – I think I got lucky here as I won Jens in one of the random events. Jens can be selected as a Legendary reward for crystals. I got him on second attempt spending only 250 crystals. You might have to spend much more. You won’t get him through the staging post rewards in the time available.
Laird – I got some shards through the Wheel of Fortune event and then bought the remainder at the Mall for £0.99. I ended up getting enough shards after that I didn’t need to pay.
Ivana – Obtainable by participating in the Sacred Crucible which nlocks at Chief Hall level 15. I played two games and had enough points to buy the Ivana shards. Took about an hour.
Sigurd – Got him same way as Jens using crystals
Varka – Obtainable by completing the staging posts quests
Yvette – I think she is available in the First Purchase pack which I bought for £0.99
Gregory – I think he was obtained through the story, I had him very early on
The last hero needs preparation:
Verdandi / Arthur – Available through the Viking Reign event which happens once a week or once every two weeks. You need to score in the top 100 of users to be awarded 10 hero shards. You’ll need around 2 million points to reach the top 100. I got 4 million and place around 50th. Read the rules of the event but main thing is to save resources, gems and speed ups before the event starts and then use everything available to push up your score. The event lasts over 5 days so does require a bit of management to make sure you can participate each day.
General tips:
My chief hall was Level 18 when I stopped playing, I think 15 is enough though
Keep training troops when you have resources as you will need them for the Viking Reign event
Participate in the regular events to obtain more Oracle Soulstones
Use gems for Oracle Soulstones when available
Upgrade the Hall of Valor early to reduce time between free summons
The other heroes on the list are definitely not obtainable without spending much more money than the offer pays out.
You can buy some hero shards for Clan points at the Honey Tavern which is in your village.
Complete the daily tasks to get an extra Oracle Soulstone each day.
20 heroes for £19.10 is definitely achievable with some casual play over the 40 day offer window. 23 is more work and might need a bit of good luck to get the right summons.
Required Spending
Optional Purchases
The Growth Pack is only available if you have purchased/reloaded 15k Gems. There are some pop-up offers that include lots of gems that may contribute to unlocking the Growth Pack. But you can expect to spend $30 (before taxes) to get the necessary Gems.
Additional Builders are unlocked through upgrading the Chief Hall, so you won’t be prompted buy any extras for this offer.
Gift Codes for Viking Rise
Gift codes can be found on the official social media channels. The discord has codes posted twice per week and on Facebook there are weekly events.
The Viking Rise Reddit sub is essentially defunct. It looks like someone created a Fandom wiki page but never added anything to it. But that’s fine, Fandom is a nightmare full of ads and spyware.

G-Spark Creator Code for Viking Rise
After building the Notice Board at Chief Hall level 6, you will be prompted to enter a G-Spark Code from your favorite creator.
You can only do this within 6 hours of account creation. Use code (GSPCD3FUMV) or follow the steps below.
Enter the game and reach Chief Hall Level 6 → go to [Notice Board] → tap [G-Spark News] → and enter my invite code: GSPCD3FUMV
Collecting Resources
All resources you need during the tutorial can be acquired on the Village map.
After you reach Chief Hall level 6, you can build the Porter Barracks and train Porters, a unit with a high Load capacity. These Porter’s are the unit you will use to collect resources on the World map.
The first Village you capture will be a Gem Prospector.
I strongly advise switching this to Commerce at the earliest opportunity.
Upgrading the Chief Hall
The first substantial timer for an upgrade comes at Chief Hall level 6, which is 2 hours and requires Walls and Warehouse to be at level 5 each.
Chief Hall Upgrade Path
In addition to the structures shown below, each Chief Hall upgrade require the Wall and adjacent facilities be upgraded.
CH 7: Walls 6, Eagle’s Nest lvl 6
CH 8: Walls 7, Infantry Barracks lvl 7
CH 9: Walls 8, Tribe Hall lvl 8
CH 10: Walls 9, Academy lvl 9
CH 11: Walls 10, Infirmary lvl 10
CH 12: Walls 11, Warehouse lvl 11
CH 13: Walls 12, Piker Barracks lvl 12
CH 14: Walls 13, Tribe Hall lvl 13
CH 15: Walls 14, Divination lvl 14
CH 16: Walls 15, Academy lvl 15
CH 17: Walls 16, Infirmary lvl 16
CH 18: Walls 17, Warehouse lvl 17
CH 19: Walls 18, Archer Barracks lvl 18
CH 20: Walls 19, Tribe Hall lvl 19
CH 21: Walls 20, Academy lvl 20, Hall of Valor lvl 20
It’s difficult to get fragments of the Gold heroes other than from purchases. Some of the events will provide a few fragments, but not enough to upgrade star ranks.
With the exception of Varka and Shiela, Gold heroes are combat focused. For this offer it is better, in my opinion, to focus on leveling up your Purple and Blue heroes.
Tip: The hero Leidolf gets many bonuses to PvE combat. His fragments can be obtained from events with some frequency in the early game. Mostly this involves participating in Rallies.
Check your inventory for Bronze and Iron Bells to rally Leidolf.
Talent Wheel
On the Talent page you can distribute points into the wheel for every level the character has gained.
Advancement on the wheel is gated by the Star ranking of the hero, with 6 stars being the highest rank attainable.
An option to Quick Upgrade a hero is available in the Talent page by tapping on the little stars between the wheel. Alternatively, you may unlock ranks one at a time.

Heroes with economic bonuses such as increased Lumber gathering speed are the ones we want to focus on leveling and ranking up.
Hero Leveling Guide
Aim for level 30 on each of the following heroes:
Purple: Snorri, Michaela, Lindy, and Erik.
Blue: Eugen, Sveinn, Ulf, and Waltham.
In the Talent Wheel, look for Food, Lumber, Stone, and Gold Gathering. Put 5 ranks into each of these. Also, Gold Reserve and Rapid Gathering are worth getting. We won’t need any of the combat talents for these heroes.
UPDATE: I gave up on this app. The Google ads made it sound really easy to build an app, which it sort of was, but the next step to get it published is a nightmare. Definitely something to leave to professionals. I give up.
I created Pheditor after several bad experiences with “free” apps that were little more than money printing machines laden with ads, pay walls, and premium subscriptions.
I am not a developer by trade, so the app is not very polished. I tried to limit functions to keep things simple.
This simple photo editor app allows you to free form crop your images, apply filters like sepia and grayscale, and to adjust brightness and contrasting.
The app supports saving edited images as Jpeg, PNG, and Webp file types.
Although the app was originally intended as a secure offline tool, I have added support for importing images from cloud services and for exporting to other detected apps on the device.
Most of my app development experience comes from apps created using MIT App Inventor.
Over the course of a year, I previously published four apps compatible with Amazon Fire devices. Two were phone wallpaper apps and the other two were AI look books.

All of the “real-time” sniper combat occurs in the opening trailer and tutorial period. It’s a gimmick used to bring in players who are jaded with the current crop of trashy 4X games.
Afterwards, the game is largely a standard 4X game with base building, resource collection, alliances, and world conquest. Most battles are handled automatically with little player input.
The game is available on Android and iOS and can also be played on PC via emulators like BlueStacks.
Don’t bother with Warline, there are better ways to waste your money.
After a soft launch in August last year, the title has shown a renewed interest from YouTube game review channels, although the majority are only uploading the OP trailer and not providing any input or critique.
The game uses a generic unit upgrade path using Tiers (T1, T2, etc.) Unit art is nothing special.
Many game elements and characters will appear familiar to players of Warpath.
The gameplay style is largely borrowed from other titles in the Lilith Games family of brands.
I’d only suggest playing Warline if it were to become a Swagbucks/FreeCash offer. That is, I would only play Warline: Sniper Strike, if they paid me to play it.
Meet various medieval characters and enjoy romantic experiences, guiding your heir’s future and planning marriages. Rule your lands in sandbox mode, enhance productivity through strategic supply chains, and explore alliances, engaging in diplomacy or conflict for territory growth.
The game is a variation of the Kings Throne / King’s Choice format of castle simulations.
Don’t have kids right away: The rarity and stats of your kids depend entirely on how high your intimacy is with the parent. Use your gifts on one or two favorite lovers first. High-intimacy parents make high-tier kids, which means bigger stat boosts for you when they marry.
Look past the main quest: The tutorial quest at the bottom left of your screen is a bit blind. It completely skips over some functional buildings. Manually click your Build icon every now and then—if it has a red dot, you have a new building available that the game forgot to tell you to make.
Play the mini-games: The limited-time events are actually decent. They are usually totally separate puzzle or board games that give great rewards. It’s the best way to progress if you don’t want to spend real money.
Join an Alliance immediately: As soon as you build the Alliance hall, join a group. It opens up an extra shop, daily missions, and co-op bosses that give you a steady stream of extra materials.

Backyard
The Backyard is where you handle your lovers, your kids, and your family alliances. Getting this loop right gives you a massive power boost.
Getting Lovers
You unlock new Lovers by hitting certain Kingdom Power milestones during the Tutorial.
Afterwards, new Lovers can be acquired by encountering them a sufficient number of times on the Post House map.
Certain special Events will include new Lovers and the VIP system includes several premium Lovers.
Dating
In the Lover Tower, you can pay resources to Summon a specific lover (best way to get a pregnancy) or do Random Dates for cheap intimacy points.
You can also give them flowers to increase their Intimacy which in turn will boost Offspring’s stats. Charm items will increase the total Aptitude EXP Lovers receive from Dating.
Raising Kids
Your kids hang out right below the tower. Tap the little up arrow to level them up. Every time they reach a growth milestone, you get to choose their specialization—just pick whatever matches their highest natural talent.
Arranging Marriages
Once they are adults, move them to the Marriage screen. You can post a proposal to the server or accept one from someone else. When your kid marries another player’s kid, you permanently inherit the other kid’s stats.
Castle
Your kingdom needs to generate cash (gold) to keep moving. Here is how to keep the economy flowing.
Level Cap
Your Town (the main hall) dictates everything. You can’t upgrade any other building past your current Town level. Once it hits Level 10, you can finally move your buildings around to organize your city.
Earning Gold
Buildings like the Farm and Smithy print money. Upgrade them 5 times, and you unlock a slot to assign a servant to them. You can eventually stack up to 3 servants per building to max out your gold income.
Match Retainer bonuses with corresponding businesses to gain greater rates of income.
Exclamation Marks
Check in on real-time buildings like the Council Chamber and Backyard. If you see an exclamation mark floating over them, it means their cooldown reset and you have free rewards or actions waiting.
Feeding Homeless
Go to the Asylum outside your gates to cook broth. Use the broth to invite vagrants into your kingdom. They sit in the Vagrant Shelter until you build enough houses for them. Once you officially check them into a house, your passive gold production goes up permanently.
Battles and Retainer Upgrades
Fights
Honestly, combat is just a math check. If your military power is higher than the enemy’s and you have enough gold to fund the fight, you win. Just hit “Go” or use “Quick Battle” to breeze through them.
Retainer Stats
Retainers are your main commanders. They have four stats: Military (fighting), Politics (resource yields), Commerce (gold generation), and Wisdom (EXP/admin yields). You get more retainers by leveling up your main character profile or winning events.
Upgrading Retainers
Use your combat EXP to level them up. To upgrade their actual skills, build the College and send them there to study for a few hours.
When you raise a lover’s intimacy and upgrade their skills, it directly boosts the stats of their paired Retainer (Bond).
Don’t ignore your lovers, or your fighters will stay weak.
Characters
Lovers
Lovers may be gifted Intimacy items like Roses to boost the strength of their offspring and Charm items like Sweets to increase the amount of EXP they earn from Dating.
Retainers
New Retainers become available as the player rises in level. Special and Limited Retainers may be earned from Events and by collecting fragments or exchange items.
Your total Retainer stats equal your Power level, and is a good indicator of your effectiveness in combat (PvP), while PvE is mostly governed by your Military stat.

Back in August of 2025, the Youtuber Justin Resells, who I subscribe to, released a video with instructions on how to use Chat-GPT to build an app to aid in deciding whether or not to buy an item to flip.
Using the instructions provided does create a great app, however, it does require a paid plan using that service ($20 per month).
As a smaller seller (fatwalletrefugee), I don’t have the budget to afford this additional cost of business. So, instead I have used Google Gemini to replicate the functions of Justin’s original app.
Here is a structured, reusable prompt based exactly on the workflow Justin built in the video.
Since you are using a standard chat window rather than building a standalone Custom GPT, this prompt is designed as a “System Persona” introduction. You only need to paste this at the very beginning of a new chat session to turn this assistant into your personal sourcing tool.
Copy & Paste this Prompt:
Plaintext
You are now "The Sourcer," a specialized AI assistant for eBay resellers. Whenever I upload an image of an item, your job is to identify it and provide a concise analysis with exactly four distinct sections. Do not show your mathematical work; provide only the direct answers.
Format your response exactly like this:
### 1. Optimized eBay Title
[Provide a search-engine-optimized, keyword-rich title under 80 characters, prioritizing brand, model, material, era, and key descriptive features.]
### 2. Estimated Value
* **New / New Old Stock (NOS):** $[Estimated active/sold open-web price]
*(Note: I understand these are rough open-web estimates and not live eBay API data.)*
### 3. Max Purchase Price (Target 2x ROI)
* **If New:** Do not pay more than $[Calculate: (New Value * 0.85) / 2]
* **If Used:** Do not pay more than $[Calculate: (Used Value * 0.85) / 2]
*(This limits my buy cost to half of the expected payout after factoring in a 15% eBay fee. Ignore shipping costs for this estimate.)*
### 4. Market Research Keywords
* **Search Phrase:** [Provide one short, natural 3-5 word keyword phrase optimized for finding this exact item on eBay]
Please confirm you understand by replying with: "The Sourcer is active. Upload your first item photo when ready."
How to use it in the field:
Open a fresh chat on your phone and paste the text above.
Once the AI responds confirming it’s ready, simply use your phone’s camera to upload a photo of an item you find at a thrift store, garage sale, or flea market.
To do the final step of Justin’s workflow (checking the live active and sold listings), just copy the phrase generated in Section 4 and paste it directly into your eBay mobile app search bar.
