When WorthPoint is the better choice

- You identify pottery, silver or porcelain by maker's marks. WorthPoint's Marks library is the reference for that.
- You research at a desk rather than decide in a store aisle.
When FlipTip is the better choice
- You source in person and need an answer in seconds, from a photo, while the item is in your hand.
- You flip everyday items — electronics, clothing, toys, kitchenware, tools — where recent sales matter more than ten-year history.
- You want the decision done for you: real sold prices, profit after the marketplace's fees, the most you should pay and how fast it sells.
- You also want to list: FlipTip writes the listing and, on the Flipper plan, publishes it to eBay.
