Track your resale inventory and understand your recorded profit. FlipFinds brings item research, inventory and profit tracking together. Start with a photo or barcode, organize what you own, and see what remains after the costs you record. Continue on your computer with the Pro desktop dashboard and Cloud sync. RESEARCH YOUR NEXT FIND Scan a barcode or use AI photo identification to help fill in item details. Review the results before saving. Open price research links, including an external eBay sold-listings search, to investigate a potential purchase. Identification and price references are starting points for your research, not guaranteed resale values. KEEP YOUR INVENTORY ORGANIZED Save photos, purchase costs, storage locations and notes. Search your items and track them as Active, Sold or Archived. Keep the details of each find together so you can locate and update it later. UNDERSTAND EACH SALE Record the sale price, purchase cost, fees and shipping. Review profit, margin and ROI using your saved information. Keep projected profit on unsold items separate from recorded results on sold items. Complete cost records make your totals more useful. WORK ON MOBILE AND DESKTOP Pro includes access to the FlipFinds desktop dashboard. Connect Cloud with the same account to manage your inventory across mobile and desktop.
