## What is Patina?

Patina is an AI-powered app that identifies any object from a photo and tells you what it's worth, based on real market sales.

See what collectors see.

That chair at the estate sale. The jacket at the thrift store. The box of stuff from your grandmother's attic. Most people walk past valuable things every day because they don't know what to look for.

Patina does.

Point your camera at any object and instantly understand what you're looking at. Patina identifies maker, era, materials, and condition—then shows you what it's actually worth based on real market sales.

INSTANT IDENTIFICATION
Patina recognizes the details that take collectors years to learn. Maker marks. Construction methods. Era-specific design cues. Authenticity indicators. You get expert-level identification in seconds—for furniture, clothing, books, art, ceramics, jewelry, toys, and more.

REAL MARKET VALUE
No guesses. Patina pulls pricing from actual recent sales across major platforms. You'll see what similar items sold for, what condition factors affect value, and where your specific item fits in the market. Make informed decisions—whether you're buying, selling, or just curious.

WORKS ON EVERYTHING
Vintage furniture. Designer clothing. Rare books. Art glass. Collectible toys. Estate jewelry. Mid-century ceramics. Antique tools. If it has value, Patina helps you understand it.

PERFECT FOR
• Estate sales and thrift stores—know what you're looking at before you buy
• Cleaning out a home—understand what's valuable and what's not
• Collectors—verify authenticity and fair pricing
• Curious minds—learn the story behind interesting objects
• Selling—get accurate pricing, ready-to-use listings, and platform recommendations

THE TRAINED EYE
Auction house specialists and veteran dealers spend decades developing the ability to spot valuable objects. They learn which makers matter, which eras are collectible, which details indicate authenticity.

Now you can see what they see.

Patina captures that expertise—trained on auction data, collector knowledge, and real sales—and puts it in your pocket. Every scan makes you a little smarter. Every find becomes more satisfying.

Download Patina and start seeing what you've been missing.

### 4/5 — Tried but needs a way to show resources

*2026-03-23*

I tried this app for a few scans.  I liked how it scans and then shows prices and reasonings. However without knowing the sources of the price references and actual examples of solds versus asking prices, it leaves me wanting more info.

### 5/5 — Fantastic helper

*2026-01-29*

Patina is fun and easy to use. Also, it’s quick and provides not only basic info, but gives you a deep dive on the item you’re interested in.

### 5/5 — Pays for itself

*2025-07-31*

This app pays for itself as soon as you identify a deal at a garage sale or thrift store. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Game changer for thrift shoppers and flippers

*2025-07-31*

Patina has totally transformed how I approach estate sales and thrift store finds! I use it to check the value of items before I buy and it’s saved me so many times from overpaying for things. It tells you instantly if something is hot on eBay or rare, making it super easy to flip for a profit. I’ve already found some amazing rare toys that I would’ve never known about without this app. Highly recommend it to anyone who’s into flipping or just wants to make sure they’re getting the best deal!

### 5/5 — Easy to use and saved me time!!

*2025-07-30*

This made reselling from yard sales and thrift stores so much easier. I don’t even have to open my eBay app! I got an estimate from patina with just a picture and was able to connect it to eBay for comparison and could resell. It’s so much easier finding the worth of items as well without having to describe it in a search engine. My side gig just got way easier.

### 5/5 — Found an unexpected treasure and made money thr first time I used it

*2025-07-30*

This thing is smart. I can point it at anything in the world and in seconds it tells me everything there is to know about it: maker, value, materials, sizing, resellability. It even writes up incredibly accurate descriptions for all the fields you need for your eBay listing. You can find a valuable piece at an estate sale and have it listed on eBay, FB Marketplace, Etsy, Chairish, Meecari, etc. etc. in under a minute. For real.

### 5/5 — Surprisingly useful

*2025-07-24*

Fantastic tool to bring to yard sales, flea markets and estate sales. So many hidden gems discovered with this app.
