The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.

Here's a task I'd like your help with. Read it all the way through before you start.

Goal: Turn my photos of household items into a sale list with a short description and suggested price for each.

Check with me first: Do I want quick-sale prices or top-dollar prices?

What I'll give you:
- Photos of the items
- Anything the photos don't show (age, condition, brand)

Rules:
- Write one entry per item with a title, short description and suggested price.
- If you can't tell what an item is or its condition, ask me.
- Don't post anything to marketplaces.

Output: A list or spreadsheet of items with descriptions and prices, ready to copy into listings.

If anything here is unclear or missing, ask me instead of guessing.

You'll know it worked when: every item has a listing-ready description and a price I'm happy with.

Here's a task I'd like your help with. Read it all the way through before you start.

Goal: Turn photos of household items into a moving-sale list with descriptions and prices.

Quick check first: tell me if anything below is missing or unclear.

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- Photos
- Details photos don't show
- Quick-sale or top-dollar
- Where I'll sell (Facebook Marketplace etc.)
- Pickup and payment terms

Rules:
- One entry per item: title, short description, condition, suggested price.
- Base prices on comparable listings and say which.
- Flag items worth more than [AMOUNT] for separate pricing.
- Group by room.
- Note dimensions for furniture.
- Write descriptions honestly, including defects.
- Give a total value estimate.
- Export as a spreadsheet I can paste into listings.
- Keep prices in round numbers buyers expect.

If you get stuck: If an item can't be identified, ask. If a login, CAPTCHA or two-step code appears, stop and ask me to handle it; never guess or store passwords.

Verify before you finish: Check no item appears twice.

Output: A sale list spreadsheet.

Done when: every item has a fair price and description.
