Achievements and the Hall of Fame

Achievements are badges you earn for hitting specific milestones. Each badge shows what you accomplished and gives you a one-time XP bonus.

Examples of achievements:

• Found 10 items (50 XP)
• Found 50 items (150 XP)
• Found 100 items (300 XP)
• Posted 5 hauls (100 XP)
• Posted 20 hauls (250 XP)
• Referred 3 friends (200 XP)
• Referred 10 friends (500 XP)
• Visited 5 different states (100 XP)
• Completed 10 bounties (300 XP)
• Joined a crew (50 XP)
• Reached Tracker rank (100 XP)
• Reached Ranger rank (200 XP)
• Reached Expedition Lead rank (300 XP)
• Featured in Hall of Fame (200 XP bonus, one-time)

Your achievements appear on your profile under the "Badges" tab. Other shoppers can see them too. Badges are proof of commitment — they show you're an experienced hunter.

You unlock achievements automatically when you hit the threshold. There's no application or special action needed. As soon as you post your 5th haul, you get the badge notification.

Some achievements are skill-based (you have to find the item or complete the action), while others are time-based (visit 5 states over a few months of hunting).

The Hall of Fame is FindA.Sale's monthly celebration of the best haul posts and community members.

Every month, we feature:

• **Top 10 Haul Posts.** The most-liked, most-commented haul photos. Hauls are ranked by community engagement and the quality of the find.
• **Shopper of the Month.** The most active hunter that month, based on XP gained, hauls posted, and community contribution.
• **Crew of the Month.** The most active crew, based on collective activity and camaraderie.
• **Best Review.** The most helpful and detailed sale review from a shopper.

For haul posts:

• Post quality photos (clear, well-lit, interesting finds)
• Write engaging captions (why you loved the find, what you'll do with it)
• Engage with other posts (like and comment on other shoppers' hauls)
• Share posts to your crew or on social media (more visibility = more engagement)

For Shopper of the Month:

• Check in regularly
• Post hauls consistently
• Help other shoppers (answer questions, offer tips)
• Refer friends
• Climb the ranks

For Crew of the Month:

• Be active with your crew
• Walk treasure trails together
• Post group hauls
• Help each other find items

If your post or profile is featured in the Hall of Fame, you get:

1. **A 200 XP bonus** (one-time)
2. **Your post pinned** to the top of the Hall of Fame page for that month
3. **A "Featured" badge** on your profile for the month you were chosen
4. **Visibility boost** — your hauls and posts get more prominent placement in other shoppers' feeds

Featured shoppers also tend to attract more crew invitations and bounty requests from other hunters.

You can browse the Hall of Fame from the main navigation or from your profile. Each month's winners stay archived so you can scroll back and see past winners.
