Remember: Bonzai connects buyer and seller — it never moves money.
find_for_saleSearch Bonzai's public for-sale listings by keyword, with optional category, price, and locality filters ("are there any computers for sale?", "find a used road bike under $400"). Set `friends: true` to see only what the caller's friends are selling, and `nearby: true` to limit to the caller's current area ("what are my friends selling?", "anything for sale near me?"). Returns matching items plus a link to browse them all on Bonzai. This only FINDS things — it never buys: to reach a seller, use `express_interest`. Offer the user both the results here and the "see them all" link. (For the caller's OWN listings, use `my_listings`, not this.)
express_interestLet a seller know the user is interested in one of their for-sale items (from a `find_for_sale` result). This does NOT buy anything and never handles payment — it puts the two people in touch so they can arrange the deal themselves. Pass an optional `message` to the seller. Say plainly that Bonzai connects buyer and seller only.
