# Facebook Marketplace alerts for PCs selling under their parts

Marketplace is where local PCs go cheapest, and where sellers guess: it shows no sold prices. PathAu Pro watches new PC and graphics card listings within up to 40 miles of your postcode and tells you which ones are worth more than they cost.

## What PathAu does

- Checks every new used PC and PC part listing, day and night.
- Splits a PC into its parts and prices each one from what it actually sold for on eBay UK.
- Sends you only the ones below their value, with how far under its value each one is.

## Questions

**Which plan includes Facebook Marketplace?**

PathAu Pro (£25 a month). It searches around your own postcode, up to 40 miles, so you only hear about PCs you can collect.

**Why are some alerts marked “unusually cheap”?**

On Marketplace a top graphics card far below what it sells for is more often a scam than a bargain. We still show it, marked, so you can see it working in person before you pay.

**Do you message sellers?**

No. PathAu never messages sellers for you. The alert opens the listing on Facebook.
