Listings & Market Inventory: From Verified to Visible

Market inventory is the staging area between Core inventory and a public market listing. An asset in Core that passes the sellable-quality gate becomes eligible for market — but eligibility is not publication. The seller still picks what goes live, what stays draft, and at what price.

Four row states

Every market inventory row has one of four states: Available (eligible, not yet listed), Draft (a listing-in-progress with price and description but not published), Published (live on the market, visible to buyers), Sold (deal closed). Quick-filter pills on /market/inventory show counts per state, so the question "what’s actually live this week" is one click.

Tags and notes

Each row carries internal tags (your taxonomy) and private notes (the kind of things your trader writes to themselves at 2am — "hold for Gregor, he’ll take all of these at list price"). Tags survive across the asset’s lifecycle. Private notes are tenant-only — buyers never see them.

Re-grade pull-through

When the warehouse re-grades a listed laptop from C to B, that change has to flow to the market without overwriting the seller’s price or description. The platform handles this with a one-click "apply re-grade" button on the row: the new grade pulls through, the price and notes stay. The seller can decide whether to adjust the price separately.

Bulk archive

Tick a dozen rows, click archive, they all unpublish at once. Used when a deal closes off-platform or when a stale batch needs to come down quickly. Archived rows can be re-listed later — they don’t disappear, they just stop showing in market filters.

Stale threshold

A cron quietly unpublishes listings that have sat published without movement past a tenant-configurable threshold (default 60 days). Nothing kills a marketplace faster than a listing for a laptop somebody already took home in February. The seller gets a notification before the unpublish so they can refresh the listing if it’s still relevant.
