What is it, and what should I check before I buy it? TreasureHunt answers both from a few photos, then gets out of the way so you can make the call. SCAN A FEW PHOTOS Snap the item, then its labels, barcode or maker's mark. TreasureHunt reads barcodes and label text right on your iPhone, identifies the item, and tells you what that identification is based on: a barcode, a model label, a maker's mark, or looks alone. When it isn't sure, it asks for the one close-up that would settle it. KNOW WHAT TO CHECK Does the shutter fire. Is the lens hazy. Is the base chipped or repaired. Every result lists the checks a photo can't answer, specific to that item. ON EBAY NOW See live Buy It Now listings for the item right on the result: photo, title, asking price, shipping and condition. Tap one to open it on eBay. YOUR CALL: BUY, VERIFY FIRST, OR SKIP One tap opens sold listings on eBay, plus Poshmark, Mercari and Google. Enter the tag price and what you expect it to sell for, and TreasureHunt works out your max buy, net and ROI after fees and shipping, then gives you a clear call based on your own numbers and target profit. It doesn't invent a value. LISTINGS WRITTEN FOR YOU Turn a find into a ready-to-post listing for eBay, Poshmark, Mercari, Depop, Facebook Marketplace or Etsy. Each draft follows that marketplace's title and description limits and condition wording, and it never claims something works unless you checked it. A short checklist shows what to confirm before you post. 2 free drafts a month, unlimited with Pro. LISTING PHOTOS IN ONE TAP Turn the photos you already took into clean listing photos: white, cream or black background, square or 4:5, lighting fixed, flaws left exactly as they are. Share them straight into eBay, Poshmark or Mercari. FINDS: EVERY BUY, LISTING AND SALE Tap "I bought it" and the item lands in Finds with its own SKU and bin location. Mark it listed and sold, log fees, shipping and returns, and see your profit for the month. EVERY THRIFT STOP ON ONE MAP Goodwill and Goodwill Outlets, Salvation Army, Savers, St. Vincent de Paul, Habitat ReStore, local charity shops, consignment and antique stores, plus estate and garage sales. Add the stops you want and get them in the shortest order with real drive times. Know a shop that's missing? Add it from the map. VISUAL INTELLIGENCE On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, point Visual Intelligence at an item and choose TreasureHunt to look it up in the app. WORKS WITHOUT SIGNAL Scans save on your iPhone the moment you take them and identify on their own when you're back online. FREE AND PRO Free: 3 AI scans a month, 2 listing drafts a month, the full map and route planner, Finds, listing photos, and every scan you've taken. Pro: 40 AI scans a month and unlimited listing drafts, $34.99 a year or $5.99 a month. Need more scans? Add 25 AI scans for $4.99. One-time purchase, works on Free or Pro, never expires. Barcode reads, marketplace searches and close-up retakes never use a scan. PRIVACY Your scans and Finds stay on your iPhone. When you ask TreasureHunt to identify an item, a smaller copy of up to four photos plus any barcode or label text goes to our server and on to Anthropic's Claude AI, with your permission, and our server doesn't keep the photos. Listing drafts are written on your iPhone when Apple Intelligence is available; otherwise the item details you entered go to our server and Claude. To show eBay listings, only the item's name is sent to eBay. TreasureHunt uses AI to suggest what an item is and to draft listings. It can be wrong. Check the item and the listing yourself before you buy or post.
