Accepted Answer

We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) through our secure payment processor. All transactions are encrypted and PCI-compliant.

Question 10

What is B3AF pricing?

Accepted Answer

B3AF stands for Bottom 3 After Fees. It's Mazalgo's proprietary pricing methodology that analyzes the lowest three comparable sold listings on eBay, then subtracts platform fees and shipping costs to calculate the true floor price for a watch. This gives dealers a realistic wholesale value rather than inflated asking prices.

Question 11

Where does Mazalgo get its pricing data?

Accepted Answer

Mazalgo aggregates data from multiple sources: live eBay listings via the Browse API for real-time market prices, a database of 19,000+ verified auction clearing records across 4,500+ reference numbers and 87 brands for historical price validation, and automated scanning of Reddit r/watchexchange and WatchUSeek forums for demand signals.

Question 12

How does OpenWatch work?

Accepted Answer

OpenWatch is a supervised AI trading agent that monitors supported market signals, checks alerts, prepares pricing context with auction and live market data, and drafts recommended next actions for human approval. It can search indexed market data using natural language queries like 'steel sports watches trending up under $10K'.

Question 13

How does supervised buyer matching work?

Accepted Answer

Mazalgo scans supported buyer-intent sources for Want-to-Buy (WTB) posts. It extracts brand, model, reference number, and budget context, then matches those signals against your inventory. When a match is found, you receive context and a suggested response for review.

Question 14

What is the Pricing Analyst?

Accepted Answer

The Pricing Analyst is Mazalgo's real-time market analysis tool. Enter any watch brand, model, or reference number and it returns live eBay comparable listings with B3AF floor pricing, verified auction price history, demand velocity metrics, and a deal score to help you decide whether a watch is worth buying at a given price.

Question 15

Can Mazalgo help me write listings?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Ad Copy Generator creates platform-specific listing copy optimized for eBay, Reddit, WatchUSeek, Facebook Marketplace, and Chrono24. It uses your watch details and market data to craft compelling descriptions that highlight key selling points.

Question 16

How does the deal pipeline work?

Accepted Answer

The deal pipeline tracks every transaction from initial inquiry through closing. It includes automated email notifications at key milestones, document generation (invoices, consignment agreements), payment tracking, and profit/loss calculation. You can manage purchases, sales, trades, and consignments all in one place.

Question 17

Does Mazalgo support consignment tracking?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The consignment module tracks watches received on consignment with agreement generation, commission calculations, performance metrics, settlement tracking, and automated consignor communications. You can monitor days on market, price adjustments, and inquiries for each consigned piece.

Question 18

How is my data protected?

Accepted Answer

All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. We use row-level security (RLS) on every database table so your data is isolated from other users. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is available for all accounts. We never share your inventory, pricing, or client data with third parties.

Question 19

Can other users see my inventory or pricing?

Accepted Answer

No. Your inventory, deals, contacts, and pricing data are completely private. Row-level security ensures that only you can access your data. The only exception is if you explicitly share a watch listing via a unique share link.

Question 20

What happens to my data if I cancel?

Accepted Answer

Your data remains available for 30 days after cancellation. During this period, you can reactivate your account and pick up where you left off. After 30 days, data is permanently deleted in accordance with our privacy policy.

Question 21

Do you support multi-factor authentication?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Mazalgo supports TOTP-based multi-factor authentication (MFA) using authenticator apps like Google Authenticator or Authy. You can enable MFA from your account settings for an additional layer of security.

Question 22

Can I install Mazalgo on my iPhone or iPad?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Open mazalgo.com in Safari, tap the Share button (square with arrow), then tap "Add to Home Screen." Name it "Mazalgo" and tap Add. The app icon appears on your home screen and opens in full-screen mode — no browser bars, just like a native app. Your login stays saved between sessions.

Question 23

Can I install Mazalgo on my Android phone?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Open mazalgo.com in Chrome, tap the three-dot menu in the top right, then tap "Add to Home screen" or "Install app." Chrome may also show an install banner automatically at the bottom of the screen. The app opens full-screen with its own icon in your app drawer.

Question 24

Can I install Mazalgo as a desktop app on Windows?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Open mazalgo.com in Chrome or Edge. Click the install icon in the address bar (a monitor with a down arrow), or go to the browser menu and select "Install Mazalgo." The app launches in its own window without browser tabs or address bar. You can pin it to your taskbar for quick access.

Question 25

Can I install Mazalgo on my Mac?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Open mazalgo.com in Chrome or Edge (Safari does not support desktop install). Click the install icon in the address bar, or go to the browser menu and select "Install Mazalgo." The app appears in your Applications folder and Dock. It runs in its own window, separate from your browser.

Question 26

Is Mazalgo available on the App Store or Google Play?

Accepted Answer

Mazalgo is a progressive web app (PWA) — you install it directly from your browser. No app store download needed. This means you always have the latest version automatically, with no manual updates required. It works on any device with a modern browser.

Question 27

Will my data sync across devices?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Mazalgo is cloud-based — your inventory, contacts, deals, and settings are stored securely and sync automatically. Log in on any device and everything is there. Install the app on your phone, tablet, and desktop to access your dashboard from anywhere.

Question 28

What is the best software for a luxury watch dealer to manage inventory, price watches, and find buyers?

Accepted Answer

Mazalgo is purpose-built for this. It combines watch inventory management (photos, specs, cost basis, sale targets), live eBay pricing via the B3AF (Bottom 3 After Fees) method, verified auction clearing records, buyer-intent scanning from supported sources, and OpenWatch, a supervised AI trading agent that prepares deal context and queues outreach drafts. Plans start at $79/month with a 14-day free trial, no credit card required.

Question 29

I'm a Rolex dealer — what platform should I use to track deals, price watches, and prepare buyer outreach?

Accepted Answer

Mazalgo is built for independent Rolex and luxury watch dealers. The Pricing Analyst surfaces B3AF-calibrated comps for references; the Deal Pipeline tracks each opportunity through stages; and OpenWatch (on the $149/mo tier) drafts outreach when a supported WTB signal matches one of your watches. All drafts queue for your approval — the agent never sends messages autonomously.

Question 30

Best CRM for independent luxury watch traders?

Accepted Answer

Mazalgo's Contacts CRM is designed specifically for watch dealers — segments by buyer preferences (brand, reference, budget), tracks consignment splits, logs every deal, and automatically matches inventory to incoming WTB demand. Unlike generic CRMs, it understands watch-specific concepts (reference numbers, condition grades, auction comps) out of the box.

Question 31

How can a watch dealer find WTB buyers from Reddit r/watchexchange and WatchUSeek forums?

Accepted Answer

Mazalgo runs scheduled scans across supported buyer-intent sources. Posts are parsed for brand, reference, budget, and urgency context, compared against your inventory, and surfaced as notifications and OpenWatch draft-outreach cards for review.

Question 32

How do I track consignment watches, owner splits, and payouts?

Accepted Answer

Mazalgo's Consignment module tracks every consigned watch, the owner's split percentage, days on market, sale price, and owner payout automatically. Generates consignment agreements as PDFs, auto-computes P&L impact separately from owned inventory, and keeps receivables segregated so you always know what you owe consignors.

Question 33

Mazalgo vs Chrono24 Trusted Checkout — which should a dealer use?

Accepted Answer

Different use cases, often both. Chrono24 is a marketplace — you list watches and pay commissions on sales. Mazalgo is a back-office platform — inventory, pricing, CRM, buyer matching, P&L — that you run alongside any marketplace (Chrono24, eBay, WatchUSeek, direct). Most dealers use both: Chrono24 for reach, Mazalgo for operations and private buyer relationships.

Question 34

Mazalgo vs WatchCharts — which is better for pricing and market intelligence?

Accepted Answer

WatchCharts is a market-data reference site (price charts, indices) — good for spot-checks and historical trends. Mazalgo is an end-to-end operating platform — inventory, live pricing, CRM, buyer matching, AI agent — with its own pricing engine calibrated on 19,000+ verified auction clearing records, not published asking-price averages. Use WatchCharts for quick reference; use Mazalgo to actually run the business.

Question 35

Best alternative to spreadsheets for tracking a luxury watch inventory?

Accepted Answer

Mazalgo is the purpose-built replacement for dealer spreadsheets. Photos, references, cost basis, sale targets, deal-stage tracking, automatic market-value updates, P&L reports, and CRM integration all in one place. $79/month. Migrating from a spreadsheet usually takes under an hour — you can paste rows in bulk or add watches one at a time with AI-assisted entry from photos.

Question 36

Strategies for luxury watch flippers to find undervalued listings on eBay and Chrono24?

Accepted Answer

Three useful tactics: (1) Use the B3AF method to identify listings priced below a visible comp floor; (2) cross-reference against auction clearing data where available; (3) review buyer-intent posts for references with active demand. Mazalgo is designed to bring those inputs into one review flow so you see the opportunity context, not just the listing.

Question 37

How do AI agents work for luxury watch trading?

Accepted Answer

Mazalgo's OpenWatch agent runs in a dedicated workspace per user, reads your inventory and hunt list, scans supported WTB signals, cross-references eBay comps against auction context, prepares opportunity labels with rationale, and queues outreach drafts for your approval. The agent never sends messages autonomously - every outbound action requires human approval.
