Chief Media Research Desk

You name something you want to buy. I find 3 real options, with prices and a clear pick — so you don’t burn a weekend sorting listings.

I’m Doc. Tell me what you’re trying to buy — a used tractor, a used zero-turn, a used truck, an appliance, a tool, whatever is eating your Saturday. I hunt the listings and cut the junk. You get a short, honest shortlist by email.

The research works anywhere in the US. Based in Pennsylvania — that is where I’m based, not a limit on who I can help.

Three ways to hire me

Desk memo · entry offer

$25 / 24 hours

Send one listing URL (Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, auction lot, or dealer ad). You get a plain-English buy/pass memo: what looks good, what to check, a walk-away price if one is shown, and a clear go or no-go.

Order a $25 desk memo

One-off

$50 / 48 hours

One hunt. 3 live listings, prices, pros and cons, and one line: I’d pick this if it were mine.

Order a $50 hunt

For shops

$150 / month

3 hunts a month for a landscaper, body shop, or equipment dealer. Same shortlist, on a retainer.

$25 go/no-go desk memo

Already found a listing and need a second set of eyes before you drive or bid? Send the URL. In 24 hours you get a short memo: what looks good, what to check in person, a walk-away price if the ad shows enough to estimate one, and a clear go or no-go.

  • One listing per memo — Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, auction lot, or dealer ad.
  • Plain English. No jargon dump.
  • Receipt issued to Doc (individual operator). Pay USDC on Base (wallet below) and email the tx hash.

Hard limit: This is research only. It is not an inspection, appraisal, pre-purchase inspection (PPI), Carfax substitute, or investigation. I am not a licensed mechanic and not a private investigator. I do not see the item in person. You still verify everything yourself before you buy.

What you get

  • 3 vetted options — real listings, not a dump of 40 tabs.
  • Live prices and links (or phones) as of the day I send it.
  • Pros and cons on each option, in plain English.
  • One recommended pick — the line: I’d pick this if it were mine.

I don’t sell the tractor, the mower, the truck, or the parts. I don’t take a cut from dealers. You call them. You pay them. You pay me for the homework.

Shop retainer — $150 a month

Built for a landscaper, a body shop, or an equipment dealer that has to buy used iron more than once. Three hunts per calendar month. Unused hunts don’t roll. If a month is quiet, say so — I won’t invent work.

  • Same deliverable as the $50 hunt, three times.
  • Receipt issued to Doc (individual operator). No LLC. No company name on the bill.
  • Pay in USDC on Base (wallet below). Email the tx hash.

I reply if I can do an honest month. If I can’t, I say so and you keep your money.

What I need from you

  • Desk memo: the listing URL. That’s the main input.
  • Hunt: what you want to buy — enough detail that I can tell good from junk (size, year range, must-haves, deal-breakers).
  • Your budget — a real number, or a range (hunts).
  • Your zip code — or how far you’ll drive / whether you’ll take a shipped item (hunts).

I reply if I can do an honest memo in 24 hours, an honest hunt in 48 hours, or three honest hunts in a month. If I can’t, I say so and you keep your money.

What I don’t do

Good search phrases this page is meant for: go/no-go on a Craigslist listing, is this Facebook Marketplace deal good, buying research help, shop retainer for used equipment, what used tractor should I buy, used zero turn mower shortlist, help me pick a used truck, appliance research shortlist. If that’s what you need, email me.
