What’s It Worth? Scan It and Know.

A reseller has to know before paying what an item really sells for and what is left after fees. FlipTip AI does that from one photo: AI identifies the exact item from what is printed on it, real completed sales show what it actually sold for (eBay, plus Mercari and Poshmark in the US), and you get your profit after the fees of the marketplace you sell on, how fast it sells and a clear buy-or-skip verdict. Treasure Radar points at valuable items while you walk a market, Batch scan values a whole shelf from one photo, and the listing writer turns a find into a listing in one tap. Every new account gets all of it free for 5 days — the Flipper plan, no credit card.

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 the Flipper plan free for 5 days (5 scans a day), with no credit card.

It depends on what you need to know. Google Lens is free and good at telling you what an item is, but it shows shop listings and asking prices — not what the item actually sold for. FlipTip AI is built for that question: the free plan identifies the item, gives a used-price estimate and a worth it or skip verdict, and every new account gets the Flipper plan free for 5 days — real sold prices, profit after fees and sell speed — with no credit card. You can also try one scan without signing up. It works on iPhone and Android straight from the browser, with nothing to install. See how it stacks up against other reseller apps in our app comparisons.

The easiest way is to scan it: open FlipTip AI, point the camera at the item and within 30–70 seconds you get a verified identification and a used price range. 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.

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. AI reads every label, logo and model number; the exact brand and model are named only when it can point at the proof. Then FlipTip checks what the item sells for on the marketplaces people in your country actually use — the whole check takes 30–70 seconds. 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.

Because FlipTip does not trust a guess. Every scan reads every label, logo and model number it can find on your photos. The exact model is named only when FlipTip can point at the proof — a readable model number or a detail only that version has. When it can't, FlipTip keeps only what is certain (for example the brand and product line), names the most likely model and the others it could be, and tells you which extra photo would settle it. On paid plans one tap on the right model researches its prices again — no new photo, no extra scan. Then the real sold prices for that exact item are checked — identification, market research and sold prices together take 30–70 seconds. How often it is right is measured in a public blind test: FlipTip accuracy.

Yes. fliptip.ai/try gives you one free scan a day without an account — the full single scan Flipper members get: what the item is, its resale price, the most to pay, how fast it sells, a worth it or skip verdict and, where eBay is big, what it really sold for. If you like it, create a free account in the same browser and that scan is saved to it — plus 5 days of the Flipper plan with 5 scans a day, no credit card.

Yes — you can even try one scan a day without an account at fliptip.ai/try. Every new account gets the Flipper plan free for 5 days: real sold prices, the highest price to pay, the listing writer, sell speed, fake alerts and the profit dashboard; Treasure Radar (with a small trial allowance), Multi-photo, Batch scan, publishing to eBay with the eBay Autopilot and the sales assistant — with 5 scans a day and no credit card. After 5 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: Starter $1.99/month (40 scans a month, any day, with everything in Hustler), Hustler $9.99/month (15 scans a day — up to 450 a month), Flipper $19.99/month (40 a day — up to 1,200 a month) or Dealer $39.99/month (90 a day — up to 2,700 a month). Used in full, that is about $0.022 a scan on Hustler and $0.015 on Dealer.

In countries where eBay is a local marketplace, paid plans and the free trial show real completed sales — what the item actually sold for, with dates you can open and verify — and FlipTip combines them with its AI estimate into the expected sale price. 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. Prices are most precise when the photo shows the exact model and it has recent sales; when FlipTip can only name the product line or finds few sales, the range is wider and the result says so. How we test this against real sales is on the accuracy page.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sale X-Ray (Dealer plan) answers it from the photos the sale posts online. Add screenshots of its gallery — up to 200 photos — and FlipTip spots every item worth reselling, prices the best finds from real sold listings where they exist and scores the whole sale from 0 to 100, with the most to pay for each find and, at an auction, the highest bid after buyer's premium and tax. Star the finds you want for the sale day, tick what you got, and your buys land in the profit dashboard. How Sale X-Ray works.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes — on Flipper and Dealer, in the eBay countries. Connect your eBay account once, then tap Publish on eBay on any item in your profit dashboard: AI writes the eBay listing from your photo — title, description, brand and item specifics, in your eBay site's language — and you see everything before it goes out. Change the photos (or make a white-background one), save it as a draft and publish in one tap. When it sells on eBay, the sale lands in your dashboard by itself. How publishing to eBay works.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

No. FlipTip AI runs in the browser on any iPhone or Android phone — just open fliptip.ai and sign in with Google (or try one scan without signing in at fliptip.ai/try). To use it like an app, add it to your home screen: it opens full screen, straight into the camera.

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. A free scan without an account keeps its small photo and result for 3 days, so they can be saved to your account if you sign up in the same browser, then both are deleted. 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.

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.

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.

Every new account gets the Flipper plan free for 5 days, so you can decide from real use which features you need. Starter ($1.99/month) is everything in Hustler with 40 scans a month — use them any day, even all at one market. 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, Sale X-Ray, the part-out calculator and the AI Hunter.
