Item Value Checker: Flip Scan

Store description excerpt

A price you can check beats a price you are told. Point your camera at anything — a camera body at a yard sale, a chair in a thrift store, a watch that has sat in a drawer for twenty years — and Value Checker names the exact model, grades what it can see, and gives you one realistic second-hand figure with the range to list between. Then it shows the working. WHAT ONE PHOTO GIVES YOU • The exact item, not the category. "Canon AE-1 Program with the FD 50 mm f/1.8", not "a camera" — with the variant, the years and the materials. • What it is worth today. One realistic resale figure, a quick-sale to patient-sale band, and how that compares with what it cost new. • The breakdown. Four lines with signed percentages: the market baseline, the condition grade, the box-and-papers premium, and demand or rarity. Every number is explained, not announced. • Sell, hold or keep. Argued in a few sentences, never a single word. • Where to sell it. The kind of marketplace this thing actually moves on, what to ask, when to list, and one thing to do first that raises the price. • Three things you did not know. Every appraisal teaches you something concrete about what drives value in that category. THE METHOD, STATED OUT LOUD 1. Name it exactly. The near-miss model is often nothing like the price of yours. 2. Find the baseline — what this exact model, in ordinary working condition with nothing extra, has recently sold for, outliers at both ends discarded. 3. Adjust for condition in one fixed step, not a fresh guess. Mint about +30%, excellent +15%, good is the baseline itself, fair takes off a quarter, poor more than half. 4. Adjust for the set and the market. Box and papers add around a tenth, a hot market another tenth, a slow one takes more off, genuine rarity adds again on top. 5. Round to a number a human would say out loud, then draw the band: 20% off for a quick sale, 25% on for a patient one. That band, not the single figure, is what you list between. Same five steps, same order, every time — which is why you can argue with one step without throwing away the rest. LEARN THE THING, NOT JUST THE NUMBER A Learn section on the four pillars — demand, condition, completeness, provenance — and on the habits that cost the most: reading asking prices instead of sold prices, anchoring on what you paid, and forgetting the fifth of the price lost to fees and shipping. BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY RESELL • Seventeen categories: electronics, photography, watches, jewelry, fashion, sneakers, furniture, art, collectibles, instruments, books, toys, tools, sports, vehicles, homeware. • Every appraisal kept in a searchable archive with its photo and its figure. • A one-page report as a PDF or an image. Free, always. • A valuation tip every couple of days, if you want them. • English and Spanish. GOOD FOR Thrift store runs and estate sales. Clearing a house. Deciding whether the thing in the loft is worth listing. Pricing before you post. Knowing what to say to a l
