Usedkit – Waitlist and Condition Grades for Used Goods
A used camera, lens or guitar is sold once. The customer who came for it a day late leaves and never comes back. Back-in-stock plugins can’t help: a used item is never restocked. The next one is a new product with a different title, condition and price. Usedkit matches by model, not by product. On a
A used camera, lens or guitar is sold once. The customer who came for it a day late leaves and never comes back. Back-in-stock plugins can’t help: a used item is never restocked. The next one is a new product with a different title, condition and price.
Usedkit matches by model, not by product. On a sold item, the customer leaves their email. When you list the next one of the same model, however you title it, they get one email with its photo, price and link, minutes after you publish it. “Sony Alpha 7 III body (ILCE-7M3)” reaches the customer who signed up on “Sony A7 III runko”.
Notify me, for used goods
- A short form on sold-out products: “Sold. Want to hear when the next one comes in?”
- The same offer on empty search results, and anywhere with [usedkit_watch] or [usedkit_watch query="Leica M6"] .
- Cameras and lenses matched by model across titles, maker codes and languages; camera bodies by exact model, so an A7 III watcher is never sent an A7 IV. Other goods by the words of the listing.
- An optional maximum price per customer.
- Double opt-in, one-click unsubscribe (RFC 8058), abuse limits. Works with page caches.
- A Waiting column in your product list and a weekly email: the demand behind each model, while you buy stock.
- Sold items can leave your listings while their pages stay live with the form. They keep their search ranking and catch the next buyer.
Margin-scheme VAT
For second-hand goods bought from private people (EU VAT Directive, Articles 311–325):
- A purchase price, purchase date and margin-scheme mark on each product.
- No separately charged VAT on those items at checkout.
- The margin VAT stored on each order line.
- The invoice wording the law requires on order pages and emails.
- A monthly or quarterly report, per item or by the global margin of the period with losses carried forward, with a CSV for your accountant.
