Even the Listings Remember

Even the Listings Remember reveals today’s marketplace hustle: stolen and serial-scrubbed goods, “open-box” flips hiding safety risks, shill bids, shadow listings, and paperwork fog that pushes harm downstream. From a gospel lens, this clean-commerce playbook lays out honest scales, serials-before-sales, bench tests with simple warranties, safe on-camera meetups, charger/battery standards, and a public ledger showing partners, yields, and resolved disputes.

Includes practical checklists for buyers, sellers, churches, and city partners; a community plan for test benches and apprenticeships; and platform policy asks that reward verified goods and verified goodness. The aim isn’t volume—it’s neighbor-first trade where receipts tell the truth and trust compounds.

This page offers spiritual and educational guidance. It is not a substitute for legal, financial, or emergency services. If you suspect theft, fraud, or personal danger, contact local authorities immediately and use verified, camera-monitored exchange locations.

1. Serials before sales: require clear serial photos and match against receipts or databases; no off-platform pressure.
2. Bench-testing: standard tests with photos/video; offer a 7-day function warranty for refurbs.
3. Safe exchanges: police lobby or camera-verified sites; daylight only; no cash-only traps.
4. Downstream integrity: publish partners for recycle/refurb/scrap; keep a simple public ledger.
5. Apprentice repair: train youth and returning citizens in honest diagnostics and customer care.
