The system from the book, built into software

Every chapter in the methodology maps to a feature inside Have It Sold.

Find the buyer before you buy
Buyer first

Build a Buyer Book of standing orders, vendor quotes, and buyback offers. The tool checks demand before you commit capital.

Lock a verified floor exit
Verified Buyer Floor

A Verified Buyer Floor requires a qualifying current written offer. Market data may support a Conservative Exit; estimates remain MODELED, never VERIFIED.

Calculate your max safe buy
All costs, then green light

Account for fees, shipping, prep, labor and storage, then apply the acquisition ceiling, minimum-profit and verification rules. A calculated ceiling does not guarantee profit.

Run a repeatable pipeline
Moneyball process

Import opportunities, score them, track shipments, record actual payouts, and calibrate future projections from your own history.

What the tool does for you

Deal Analyzer

Enter a lot, attach your exit evidence, and get a NEON GREEN/GREEN/YELLOW/RED decision with a max safe buy price.

Buyer Book

Keep every buyer, vendor, and standing order in one place so you never buy something with no clear exit.

Upload CSV or spreadsheet manifests and screen dozens of lots against your buyers and costs at once.

Textbook Scanner & Payout Tracking

Scan ISBNs, compare buyback offers, track shipments, and reconcile actual payouts against projections.

Projected-vs-Actual Calibration

When deals complete, the tool learns from your real results and tightens future max-safe-buy numbers.
