TradeDistrict

Updated July 24, 2026

Overview / Description

TradeDistrict is an AI deal-sourcing tool that scrapes real-time buying opportunities from free public sources and scores each listing so resellers, flippers, and small-business buyers can surface the best deals fast. It is an open-source desktop application that pulls listings from Craigslist, BizBuySell, LandWatch, and GovPlanet across 30 US cities, then automatically ranks each opportunity using a configurable scoring algorithm. Results are presented through a local web UI that runs inside the app, so you browse and filter ranked listings from your own machine without relying on a hosted cloud service. Because it draws only from free public sources, there are no paid data feeds or API subscriptions required to gather leads. The configurable algorithm lets you tune how listings are scored and ranked to match what you actually buy, whether that is business acquisitions on BizBuySell, land on LandWatch, government surplus on GovPlanet, or used goods on Craigslist. Being open-source, the code can be inspected and self-hosted, which suits technical users who want control over their scraping logic and data. TradeDistrict targets deal hunters, resellers, business brokers, and buyers who monitor multiple marketplaces and want ranked opportunities in one desktop dashboard rather than checking each site by hand.
