The Hunt Map

What it does

A live, geo-tagged map of member-reported LEGO clearance finds. 'Spotted LEGO 75281 at Target on Rt 9 NJ — 30% off, 4 left' with timestamp and freshness indicator. Pins expire fast (24-48 hours). Members earn community reputation for valuable contributions. Higher subscription tiers see new pins sooner.

Why it matters

This is the community moat. Every other tool in the platform can theoretically be replicated by a competitor with enough engineering. The Hunt Map cannot — it requires a community of motivated members reporting real-time intel. The longer it runs, the more valuable it becomes. It also turns members into evangelists (they're contributing, they're invested).
