A 10-minute yard-sale morning: route map, resale picks, then a shop to sell them
Finding every yard sale nearby and planning a route takes longer than the drive.
What hurt
Mike P (@mikepat711) ran a three-prompt chain on a Saturday morning. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
The first prompt found every yard sale within 15 miles and produced an HTML file with a map of the most efficient route, links to each listing, coffee stops and a Google Maps link with every stop. The second listed items that commonly resell for good margins. The third built a Shopify-based website to sell finds.
Bots

Routines
None on the first run. Watch one manual pass first.
The prompt
His three prompts (author-quoted)
Quoted from @mikepat711 — as published. Do not invent a second system prompt.
"Hey Grok, make me a yard sale route including stops within a 15 mile radius of my home." "Thanks. Now recommend some decent items commonly found at yardsales that resell for good margins online" "Awesome. If we find stuff, we're going to need to sell it. make me an entire website using Shopify as the engine."
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/mikepat711/status/2108706504962433347 (credit @mikepat711).
- 2Ask for a yard-sale route within your radius as an HTML map with a Google Maps link.
- 3Ask which commonly found items resell well.
- 4Only if you want to sell, ask for a store draft and approve before anything goes live.
Approval fence
Launching a store or paying for anything should wait for your approval.
What to tweak
Chain the prompts: route, then what to look for, then where to sell.
