FO0236 LL0157
Ended at 50% off, on an obscure Danish site he had never opened. It took an evening of tabs, guessed spellings and translated checkout pages.

You know the
reference.
We go and find it.
Some people do not browse. They know the garment down to its style code — GUIDI 788Z, FO0236 LL0157 — and then spend an evening in forty tabs.
marcopolo reads the buyable web the way a very patient human would: independent boutiques in Copenhagen and Kyoto, and the resale listing where a seller misspelled the model name. It comes back with one ranked table.
Not open yet — nothing on this page takes your address or your money. Every account will get 3 free hunts.
§ 01the report
The table is the product.
This is a specimen of what a finished hunt hands you. Sources are described rather than named here, and the figures illustrate the report — the live one names the shop and stamps the time.

Their rules forbid automated reading, so we do not pretend. Each becomes a link that opens your size, prefilled, labelled for what it is.
Then the watch: we keep reading this reference in women's 40 for 30 days, and write to you if a cheaper or faster option appears.
You buy from the seller. We only find it.
§ 02the manhunt
Forty boutiques, five marketplaces, no answer.
The item is carried by maybe forty independent shops across Europe, Japan and the US. Each has its own sale calendar, its own odd sizes, its own duty rules.
The same reference may be sitting on resale at half the price, described by a seller who spelled the model name wrong.
Google prices what is advertised, not what is buyable in women's 40 with duty included. It has never heard of FO0236 LL0157. Extensions only react to the page you already found.
Two hunts by our founder, done by hand, are the whole problem statement.

788Z, women's 40
Nothing under €1,000 anywhere he could find. The one full-price option quietly disclosed a 12-week production wait, which no product page prices as a cost.
§ 03how a hunt runs
Paste one thing. Wait 90 seconds.
- 01
Paste one thing
A reference, a product link, or a brand and a model name. Nothing else is asked of you.
- 02
Confirm the item
Three or four candidates with photos. You pick the right leather, in five seconds.
- 03
Watch the hunt run
About 90 seconds. The sites being read are named as they are read. No spinner, no fake progress.
- 04
Read the findings
One table, ranked by landed price. Then a watch on that reference, for 30 days.

The visible labour is the proof. Named sites, a counting total, no invented progress bar. If a hunt runs long, the item is rare, and we say that.
§ 04what makes the table worth paying for
01
Landed price, not sticker price
Item, plus shipping to your address, plus an estimated duty line, in your currency. That is the only number that compares Kyoto to Copenhagen.
02
Size truth
A row appears only if your size is buyable. Each row carries its availability: in stock, pre-order, or the 12-week wait that would have ruined the purchase.
03
New and secondhand, one table
For this shopper they are the same decision. Where a marketplace forbids automated reading, we say so and hand you a prefilled search instead.
04
The hunt keeps working
Every hunt watches its reference for 30 days. If your size lands on resale at 3am, that is a dispatch in your inbox, not a tab you forgot to check.
§ 05the ledger
What we will not do to you.
- We take no payment for the garment. You buy from the seller.
- No coupon popups, no countdowns, no manufactured urgency.
- No subscription. Hunts are bought in packs, and hunts left never expire.
- An estimate is labelled estimated. Where duty depends on rules we cannot resolve, we show a range.
- Every price and stock claim names its source and carries a timestamp.
- If nothing is buyable in your size, we say so plainly and put the hunt back in your balance.
