Why repeated searches feel inefficient
Marketplace search results commonly contain the same long-running Buy It Now inventory day after day. The collector must remember what was previously reviewed while looking for the small number of listings that are actually new.
Use a persistent seen state
RareAlert records which matching listings have been seen. The New Listings view can then focus attention on inventory that has not been reviewed yet.
Save the listings that remain interesting
A promising listing does not need to remain mixed into the main search feed. Add it to the Vault so it becomes a deliberate shortlist.
Hide results you never want to review again
Some listings technically match but are not useful to you. Hiding them removes visual clutter while preserving the rest of the saved search.
Use keywords for patterns and Hide for exceptions
When several unwanted listings share the same term, update the saved search with an exclusion. When one listing is simply a bad fit without a reusable pattern, hide that individual item instead.
Use an excluded keyword when
- The same unwanted phrase appears repeatedly
- The entire type of listing is irrelevant
- You want future matching inventory removed too
Use Hide when
- Only one listing is unwanted
- The title contains otherwise useful words
- A broad exclusion could remove good listings
The result: a review queue instead of a restart
New Listings show what changed, the Vault keeps your shortlist, and Hidden removes exceptions. Together, these states make a recurring collector search easier to maintain.
