AI Thrift Scanner & Price Checker

🎁 Every new account gets Hustler free for 30 days — real sold prices, the listing writer, fake alerts, sell speed and the profit dashboard — with 3 scans a day. No card, nothing to cancel.

All features, explained →

What FlipTip checks when you scan

Stand at the stall. Scan. Know in seconds if it's worth buying — and what it will resell for.

🟢

Worth it or skip — free

No more guessing. A clear Buy or Skip verdict on every item, on every plan. Paid plans show why: a 0–100 score, buy → sale → net profit from real sales, what to check, how to negotiate and where to sell. How the verdict works →

💰

Profit & best offer

See your expected profit and the highest price you should pay before you haggle. FlipTip works out the max offer that still leaves you a margin.

📊

Sell speed — and at which price

Know if it sells in 2 days or 2 months. Real sales against the live listings you'd compete with: sold vs. active, sell-through, and how many days it takes at three different prices. See how →

🔎

Match confidence

FlipTip tells you how sure it is about the item, and shows other models it could be — so you never buy on a wrong ID.

⚠️

Fake & authenticity check

Spots fake brands, suspicious labels, and authenticity red flags before you waste money — logos, stitching, stamps, and materials.

Real used prices from your own marketplaces — eBay, Vinted, Facebook, Wallapop, KP and more — in your language, wherever you sell.

Built from a real problem at the stall

"

At flea markets and garage sales I kept seeing the same two mistakes: people overpaying for things they believed were rare — and walking past a €200 item because they didn't recognize it. Checking sold prices on eBay with one hand while the seller waits is slow, and most people give up halfway.

FlipTip does that check for you. Point the camera, and in 5–15 seconds you see what the item has actually sold for, what you would make after fees, and a clear buy-or-skip verdict.

No hype, no guaranteed profits — just real sales data at the moment you need it.

What is FlipTip AI?

The what-is-it-worth app and AI thrift scanner for flea markets, thrift stores and garage sales — everything you need to know.

FlipTip AI is an AI resale value scanner and price checker for flea markets, thrift stores and garage sales. Scan an item and see what it is, what it really sold for in your country and whether it’s worth buying — then write the listing, track your profit and let AI Hunter watch eBay for deals. All features →

Is there an app that tells you what something is worth?

Yes. FlipTip AI is a what-is-it-worth app that works from a single photo. Take a picture of the item and the AI identifies the brand and model, then shows its resale value — real sold prices where eBay operates, prices from your local marketplaces everywhere else — and a clear worth it or skip verdict, free on every plan. Paid plans add your profit after fees, the highest price to pay and sell speed. It runs in the browser on iPhone and Android, and every new account gets Hustler free for 30 days (3 scans a day), with no credit card.

How do I find out what my stuff is worth?

The fastest way is to scan it: open FlipTip AI, point the camera at the item and you get a used price range in seconds. Doing it by hand means identifying the exact model, searching sold listings (not asking prices) on eBay or your local marketplace, and averaging the results — FlipTip does all of that for you. For a feel of typical prices by category, see our what's it worth value guides.

How does the FlipTip AI scanner work?

Point your phone camera at the item while you are standing at the stall — at a flea market, thrift store, garage sale or estate sale. In a few seconds the AI recognizes the brand, model and condition cues, then checks what the item sells for on the marketplaces people in your country actually use. You get a realistic used resale price range, the sell speed (how many days it takes at which price), a clear worth it or skip verdict and any authenticity red flags — so you can decide before the seller moves on.

Is FlipTip AI free? Is there a free trial?

Yes. Every new account gets 30 days of the Hustler plan for free — real sold prices, the highest price to pay, the listing writer, sell speed, fake alerts and the profit dashboard — with 3 scans a day and no credit card. After 30 days you simply stay on the Free plan (3 scans a day: item identification, a used-price estimate and the worth it / skip verdict) for as long as you like, or upgrade: Hustler $9.99/month (15 scans a day), Flipper $19.99/month (40 scans a day) or Dealer $39.99/month (90 scans a day).

How accurate are the resale prices?

In countries where eBay is a local marketplace, paid plans show real completed sales — what the item actually sold for, with dates you can open and verify — and use the median of those sales instead of an estimate. Everywhere else the price comes from the best local classifieds and recent listings in your country. Either way you get a low–high range, because used items vary by condition. Accuracy is highest for electronics, tools, branded fashion and collectibles; for one-of-a-kind antiques the AI flags lower confidence and suggests a manual check.

Which countries and marketplaces does FlipTip AI support?

FlipTip AI works worldwide and prices items in your own currency, using the marketplaces people in your country actually buy and sell on — eBay, Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree, Kijiji, OfferUp, Mercari, Vinted, Wallapop, Leboncoin, Kleinanzeigen, KupujemProdajem, Bazos and many more local platforms. Real completed-sale prices and the AI Hunter are available where eBay is a local marketplace: the US, UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. We also publish local-language flea market guides for 50+ countries.

Can I check eBay sold prices from a photo?

Yes. On paid plans in countries where eBay is a local marketplace, FlipTip AI shows the eBay sold comps for the item you photograph — the median, the price range and the individual completed sales with dates you can open — plus Mercari and Poshmark sold prices in the US. No typing, no filtering “sold items” by hand. See how it works per marketplace in our resale value guides.

Does FlipTip AI work for antiques, collectibles and vintage items?

Yes. It identifies vintage cameras, watches, coins, vinyl records, toys, jewelry, china, furniture and other collectibles, and prices them from what they sell for on your marketplaces. Mass-produced items (electronics, branded fashion, games, LEGO) get the most precise prices; for one-of-a-kind antiques the scanner tells you when its confidence is lower so you can double-check before buying.

Can I use FlipTip AI to price items for a garage sale or estate sale?

Yes — it works just as well for sellers. Scan what you are clearing out and FlipTip shows what each item realistically sells for used, which ones are worth listing online and which are fine for the garage sale table. Batch Scan (Flipper plan) values a whole table or box from one photo and ranks the items by value.

How is FlipTip AI different from Google Lens?

Google Lens tells you what something is and where it is for sale. FlipTip AI tells you whether to buy it: what it realistically resells for in your country (real completed sales where available, not asking prices), how fast it sells, your profit after fees, whether it might be fake, and a worth it / skip verdict — then writes the listing for you and tracks the profit once you sell.

What is Treasure Radar?

Treasure Radar (Flipper plan and up) turns your camera into a live metal detector for value. Walk along a table or a blanket full of items and green AR arrows point at the ones worth money — each with its name and a rough price — while the clutter is ignored. The arrows follow the items as you move the phone, and one tap on a label runs a full scan of just that item.

What is Batch Scan?

Batch Scan (Flipper plan and up) values many items from one photo — a whole table at a garage sale, a box of lots or a shelf. FlipTip AI identifies every item and ranks them: best flips on top, skips at the bottom. On bookshelves, vinyl crates and game shelves it even reads the titles straight off the spines, so first editions and rare pressings stand out.

Can FlipTip AI write my listing?

Yes. On Hustler and above, one tap on Make listing under a scan writes the whole ad: title, description, keywords, an asking price and the lowest offer worth accepting — plus the right category for the marketplace you post on, in your language. Copy it straight into the form, or email it to yourself with the scan photo attached.

Can FlipTip AI track my profit?

Yes. On Hustler and above, every scan lands in your profit dashboard, and you can add items you bought without scanning too. Mark items as bought, for sale or sold, enter what you paid, what it sold for and your costs — fees, shipping, packaging — and FlipTip calculates the net profit per item plus totals and ROI for the month, the year or all time, kept separately for each currency. Tracked items are kept for good, and you can export everything to CSV for your bookkeeping.

What is the part-out calculator?

Some items are worth more in pieces — a broken laptop, a dead console, a camera without its lens. On the Dealer plan, one tap lists every sellable part, checks each one against real sales and tells you whether parting out beats selling the item whole, with your buy price, shipping per parcel and selling fees already deducted.

What is the AI Hunter?

The AI Hunter (Dealer plan) finds deals while you sleep. Tell it what you are looking for, your maximum price and the minimum profit you want. It checks newly listed eBay items around the clock, has AI value each one against what it really resells for, throws out broken, for-parts and fake listings, and sends a push notification to your phone only when a listing clears your profit after fees. It works in the countries where eBay is a local marketplace.

Can FlipTip AI detect fakes and counterfeits?

Yes. The scanner looks for common counterfeit red flags — wrong logos and fonts, off-spec stitching, suspicious stamps and serials, mismatched materials and inconsistent labels — and warns you before you spend money on a likely fake. For expensive branded items, treat a clean result as a good sign, not a certificate of authenticity.

Does FlipTip AI work on smart glasses?

Yes, in beta. On display glasses that can open web apps — such as Meta Ray-Ban Display — you pair the glasses with a 6-digit code and open fliptip.ai/glasses on them. Your phone does the scanning and the glasses show Treasure Radar arrows, item names, prices and scan verdicts in your field of view. Fully hands-free scanning with the glasses' own camera comes as soon as glasses platforms open their camera to apps. Smart-glasses mode is included in the Flipper and Dealer plans.

Do I need to install an app?

No. FlipTip AI runs in the browser on any iPhone or Android phone — just open fliptip.ai and sign in with Google. To use it like an app, add it to your home screen: it opens full screen, straight into the camera.

What happens to my photos?

Scan photos are used to identify and value the item. On plans with a dashboard, a small thumbnail is kept in your private history so you can find the item again; nobody else can see it. Treasure Radar frames are analysed and never stored. If you delete your account, your history, photos and data are deleted with it. See our privacy policy.

Does FlipTip AI work in the UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand?

Yes. FlipTip AI works at car boot sales, charity shops, op shops, garage sales, yard sales and flea markets in all of them. Where eBay is a local marketplace — the UK, Ireland, Canada and Australia — paid plans show real completed eBay sales, and everywhere you get prices from the marketplaces people there actually use, such as Gumtree, Facebook Marketplace, Vinted, DoneDeal, Kijiji and Trade Me, in your own currency.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There are no contracts and no cancellation fees — cancel in one tap from the menu and you will not be charged again. Payments are handled securely by PayPal, so FlipTip never sees your card details.

Which plan should I choose?

Most people start with the free 30-day Hustler trial and decide from there. Hustler ($9.99/month) suits occasional shoppers who want real sold prices, the highest price to pay, sell speed, fake alerts, listings and the profit dashboard. Flipper ($19.99/month) is for regular flea-market and thrift-store hunters — it adds Treasure Radar, Multi-photo and Batch scan. Dealer ($39.99/month) is for full-time resellers: the most scans, the part-out calculator and the AI Hunter.
