Could you build this?
Partial The marketplace listings, condition forms, and escrow flow are standard, but IMEI verification and legally safe resale of locked or stolen-risk devices need data sources and compliance work that vibe coding can't provide.
What it would actually take: The core marketplace can be built on a standard web stack with Stripe Connect for escrow and payouts, and IMEI checks can call a third-party IMEI/blacklist API such as GSMA-linked or carrier-blacklist providers. The hard parts are trust and compliance: the platform must avoid facilitating trade in stolen or blacklisted devices, meet money-transmission and marketplace rules across jurisdictions, and handle logistics and dispute resolution. That calls for payments, legal, and trust-and-safety expertise plus fraud-detection capability.
