Tell people what you're looking for, add a photo, and set your budget. Sellers who have it reach out to you, so you stop scrolling through listings hoping to find the needle in the haystack.
No listing fees • No commissions • Responses stay private
Describe it, add up to four photos, set a budget, and pick a category. It takes about a minute.
They reply with what they have, their price, and how to reach them. Only you can see the responses.
Ask questions in a private message thread, and get an email whenever someone replies.
Close the ad when you have it. Ads expire after 30 days unless you renew them, so the board stays fresh.
For sellers
Save an alert for the things you sell or can find, like "yanmar injector", "Marantz receiver", or a whole category. We'll email you the moment someone posts a match, so you can reply with your price while the buyer is still looking.
Alert emails have a one-click unsubscribe.
Works with your AI assistant
Connect an assistant that supports MCP, like Claude, and it can post a want for you, search the board, check who has responded, and message sellers, all from a normal conversation.
It acts through your own account with a token you create in your profile, and you can revoke it any time.
Add it to Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http needtofind \
https://needtofind.app/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"
Create an account to get a token.
Stop endless scrolling
Instead of browsing hundreds of listings hoping to spot the right one, let people who have it come to you.
You set the price
Say what you are willing to pay, or leave it open to offers. Sellers compete for your business, not the other way around.
Private by design
Only you and the seller who wrote a response can see it, and photos are stripped of the hidden location data phones add.
Any category
Boat parts, vintage audio, instruments, tools, collectibles, furniture. If you are looking for it, post it.
Free to use
Posting is free, and there are no listing fees or commissions. Deals are between you and the seller.
Made for the hard-to-find
It is built for the odd part, the discontinued model, and the thing nobody lists, where normal search comes up empty.
