Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about scanning an item and what the estimate includes.

Can I take a picture of something and find out what it's worth?

Yes. Upload a photo of the item — and a label or maker's mark if you have one. We identify it first, you confirm or edit the details, then we show a listed price range, a typical asking price, an estimated likely sale price (usually 10-30% below the typical listing), a confidence level, and comparable listings when enough of them exist. These are estimates, not certified appraisals.

Is there a free app that tells you how much something is worth?

The website includes one free scan per day on your connection. The upcoming iPhone and Android app is free to download, with 3 scans in total and then 1 scan per week. After that, optional Premium plans (USD) are $4.99 weekly, or $29.99 yearly with a 3-day free trial. Prices may vary by store and country.

How do I scan an item to see what it's worth?

Use the scan box at the top of this page, or wait for the app. Add up to three photos, confirm the identification (this step is required), and review the range. If we cannot find enough comparable listings, we say so clearly instead of inventing a single number.

Values are estimates based on current public listings, not certified appraisals or sold prices. Listings often run about 10-30% above what an item actually sells for. For rare or high-value items, we recommend a professional appraisal.
