Automatic price drops

How do the automatic price drops works?

Firesale was built to make selling fast, easy, and frictionless — no time wasted, no back-and-forth with lowball offers, and no endless chatting. That’s why we created Auto Price Drop.

How it works:

When you list an item on Firesale, you have the option to turn on Auto Price Drop. If the item doesn’t sell right away, the price will automatically decrease by 5% every week until it’s sold.

No need to monitor or manually adjust anything — just turn it on and let it run.

Auto Price Drop Example:

Let’s say you list an item for $75 and turn on Auto Price Drop. If it doesn’t sell, here’s how the price would adjust:

Week

Price

Week 1 (listed)

$75.00

Week 2

$71.25

Week 3

$67.69

Week 4

$64.31

Week 5

$61.09

Week 6

$58.04

Note: Prices are rounded to the nearest cent.

By week 6, the item is priced just below $60 — and likely to catch the attention of a deal-seeking buyer.

Why sellers love it:

  • Saves time – no need to log in and adjust listings manually

  • No chat fatigue – avoids lowball offers and negotiation

  • Drives urgency – buyers know prices will drop, so they act fast

  • You stay in control – toggle it on/off or reset the price anytime

Most sellers simply turn it on and let it rip — especially when they’re trying to move a lot of items fast.


Pro Tip: Buyers can "watch" your item and get notified of price drops — Auto Price Drop makes sure you're always staying competitive and keeping their attention.
