Death pile prioritizer

The Death Pile is the stack of things you bought, scanned, and never listed. The Death Pile card on your dashboard scores all of your unlisted items and ranks them by urgency, so you can start with the ones that cost you the most by sitting.

The card shows how many items are unlisted and highlights how many are urgent.

How the priority score works

Each item gets a score built from four factors:

• Age, 30 percent: how long you have owned the item.
• Category sell through rate, 25 percent: how fast items in that category sell.
• Profit potential, 30 percent: expected profit from estimated value minus your costs.
• Value density, 15 percent: higher value items get a small boost.

What the badges mean

• URGENT, score 75 and above: list immediately.
• HIGH, score 50 to 74: list soon.
• MEDIUM, score 25 to 49: list when time permits.
• LOW, score under 25: lower priority.

The small label above an item in the card is its urgency badge, not a comment on the item's value. A LOW badge means it is fine to leave that item for later, usually because it is newer to your inventory or sits in a slower category.

Work the list

1. Open your dashboard and find the Death Pile card.
2. Start at the top of the list, with URGENT items.
3. Click an item to go straight to its detail page.
4. Create the listing there: publish directly to a connected eBay or Bonanza account, or cross list to other marketplaces.
5. Once an item is listed, it drops out of the unlisted count.

Get better scores

Profit potential is part of the score, so record what you paid for each item when you save it. The more items with a purchase price on file, the more the ranking reflects real money rather than estimates alone.
