Loot log: track everything you've bought
The loot log is a running record of every item you've purchased through FindA.Sale. Every confirmed buy — estate sale furniture, yard sale tools, auction wins, flea market finds, consignment pickups — lands here automatically. You don't have to enter anything.
Think of it as your personal acquisition history. Open it six months from now and you'll know exactly what you paid for that turntable, where you got it, and what sale it came from.

How items appear in the log
When a purchase is confirmed — either through a pay request or a manual sale confirmation from the organizer — the item is added to your loot log automatically. You'll see it there within a few seconds of the confirmation.
Each entry shows the item name, the sale it came from, the price you paid, the date, and the organizer's name. The item's photo appears if one was included in the listing.

What you can do with each entry
**Add a note.** Tap any entry to open it. There's a notes field where you can write anything — "needs a new power cord," "this goes in the basement," "bought for resale." Notes are private to you.
**See what you paid.** The price is always on the entry. No math required — the log keeps a running total at the top of the page so you can track your spending across all sales.
**Share to haul posts.** Tap the share icon on any entry to post it as a haul — a photo card showing the item and what you paid. Haul posts appear on your public profile if you choose to share them.
**Mark as traded or sold.** If you later trade or sell something from your log, you can mark it as gone. It stays in your history but shows a "Traded" or "Sold" badge so your log reflects your current collection.

Why the log is useful
**You'll forget what you paid.** Especially after a busy weekend of sales. The log captures the amount at the moment of purchase, so you're not guessing six months later when you decide to sell something.
**You'll remember where things came from.** A lot of secondhand items have a story. The log ties each item to the specific sale — including the organizer and the sale location — so you can go back to that source for future sales.
**It builds your collection history.** Over time, the log becomes a picture of your taste, your spending habits, and what you've found. Some shoppers use it to notice patterns — which sale types tend to have the best prices, which categories they over-buy.
**It connects to the Loot Legend.** Your lifetime totals — how many items you've bought, total spent, how many sales you've attended — feed into the Loot Legend summary on your shopper profile. The legend is visible to organizers who check your profile when you place a hold or send a trade proposal.

The Loot Legend
The Loot Legend is the summary card at the top of your profile. It shows your lifetime numbers: total items bought, total spent, number of sales attended, and your activity level.
Organizers sometimes check this before approving a hold on a high-value item. A shopper with a long, active log and clean history gets a little more trust by default.
You don't do anything to build the legend — it updates automatically as your loot log grows.

Common questions
**Does the loot log include cash purchases I made in person?** Only if the organizer confirmed the sale through FindA.Sale. If you paid cash and the organizer marked the item as sold to you in the app, it appears. If the transaction happened entirely off-platform, it won't.
**Can I add items I bought before joining FindA.Sale?** Not currently. The log captures purchases made through the platform. Manual import isn't available yet.
**Is my loot log visible to other shoppers?** The full log is private. Your Loot Legend summary (totals only, no item details) is visible on your public profile if you've turned on a public profile. Item details are never public.
**How do I delete an entry?** You can't delete entries — the log is a record, not a list you curate. You can mark items as traded or sold, and you can add notes. If an entry was added in error, contact the organizer who confirmed the sale.
**Does the log track trades?** Items you received through accepted trades appear in the log if the organizer confirmed the exchange through the app. Items you traded away are marked "Traded" in your history.
**Is there a limit to how many entries the log holds?** No limit.
