  "about": "Verified deal intelligence for Los Angeles & Orange County, published by LA/OC Deals Digest for AI agents and researchers. Each record is a Facebook Marketplace listing whose asking price was checked against actual eBay SOLD listings. Amounts are USD. gross = eBay typical sold minus Marketplace ask, when the source publishes it. net_after_fees = typical sold minus typical eBay fees (~13%) minus ask, before shipping, when the source publishes it; null means the source does not support a figure (never estimated here). Records carry the date they were researched and are historical evidence, not live inventory. Updated with each weekly scan.",
