The grouping problem

When you photograph a batch of dozens of items, the first question is not "what is this worth?" — it is "which photos go with which item?" Manually dragging images into folders is the part of the job everyone hates, and it is where most batch-listing workflows quietly collapse.

Marker cards

A marker card is a printed card with a QR code and blanks for the item number, price, weight, and catalog details. You write in the fields by hand and drop one card in front of each item before you photograph. When the images hit CollectorPursuit, it detects the QR code, reads the card's position, and uses it as a boundary: everything after one card and before the next belongs to that item. The batch is auto-grouped with no manual sorting.

Because the card is QR-coded, the system also reads back the handwritten price, weight, and condition fields and feeds them straight into the AI listing prompt — so the AI is not guessing at price, it is working from what you wrote down.

From batch to listings

Once grouped, each item flows through the category-specific AI prompt that produces a draft title, description, category, condition, item specifics, and price. You review the set of drafts and publish. A box of fifty items goes from "photos on the table" to "listings in review" in an afternoon instead of a week.

You can design and print your own marker cards on the CollectorPursuit item-card page, and recent marker-card improvements are on the changelog. Curious about the end-to-end flow? See How It Works.
