WHAT YOU GET WITH EVERY SCAN - Item identification: maker, era, origin, and a plain-English summary - Bob's verdict: buy or pass, with a max price based on what it'll actually resell for - Resale pricing: what to list it at, what to accept, and how it plays on eBay, Facebook Marketplace, Etsy, or local - Condition grade: what the AI sees in your photos, and what it can't judge from a photo - Authenticity check: red flags, reproductions, fakes, and a confidence rating - Negotiating notes: what to say when the seller won't come down - eBay sold listings: a pre-filled search so you can check comps yourself in one tap SUPER SCAN Some pieces deserve more than a quick read.
