How It Works

Finding out how much something is worth used to mean hours of eBay searching or paying an appraiser. We compressed that into one photo, without compromising on how the research is actually done.

Step 1, You take a picture

Photograph your item with your phone or upload an existing photo. Good light and a straight-on angle help. If there are markings, a mint mark on a coin, a stamp inside a ring, a model number on electronics, include them in the photo or type them in the notes. Your photo is processed in memory and immediately discarded; we never store it.

Step 2, We identify the exact item

Advanced vision AI pinpoints what you have: not just "a watch," but the brand, model, and often the exact reference. It also reads condition cues, wear, damage, completeness, the same things a buyer would judge. If the photo is AI-generated, we detect and flag that honestly (and still tell you what a real version would be worth).

Step 3, We research the live market

This is what makes us different. Instead of letting an AI guess a price from memory, our engine searches the current secondhand market, recent eBay sold listings, auction results, and specialist marketplaces like StockX, Chrono24, and Discogs depending on the category. Your value is anchored to what identical or comparable items have actually sold for, recently.

Step 4, You get an honest answer

Every result includes:

  • A three-point range: quick-sale (low), typical sold price (mid), and best-case to the right buyer (high).
  • The comparable sales we found, with sources, so you can verify everything yourself.
  • A confidence rating. "High" only when the exact item is identified and comps are plentiful. When we're not sure, we say so and tell you what would narrow the range.
  • Selling tips specific to your item, where it sells best and what adds value.

What this is, and isn't

This is a fast, research-backed market estimate: ideal for deciding whether to sell, where to sell, what to ask, or whether something deserves deeper attention. It is not a certified appraisal for insurance or legal purposes, but when an item looks valuable enough to justify one, we'll tell you.
