Tag Check

Read full description

Snap the find. Know the deal. Tag Check helps you research the things you discover at thrift stores, garage sales, estate sales, flea markets, and antique malls. Photograph an item to explore what it might be, compare an asking price with an AI estimate, and decide what to investigate next. RESEARCH YOUR FINDS Add up to six useful photos, including labels, maker's marks, and condition details. Tag Check uses AI and live web research to suggest an identification, a price range when evidence is available, and things to look for before buying. ASK A LITTLE MORE Answer follow-up questions or add photos and notes to refine the same item's result. You can keep a find for later while processing continues and return to its details when you are ready. KEEP YOUR COLLECTION ORGANIZED My Finds groups your items by date. Search by title or brand, star favorites, and filter by the relationship between the tag price and estimated range. Your collection is private; delete individual items or your account from the app. ONE FREE CHECK EACH DAY One check covers one item's AI analysis, including its follow-ups, additional photos, notes, and technical retries. Your daily free check resets at midnight UTC and is used before paid checks. Need more? Optional one-time packs provide 10, 30, or 100 additional checks. Paid checks have no scheduled expiry while your account remains available. No subscription is required. YOU STAY IN CHARGE AI results can be wrong. Estimates are not appraisals, authentication, safety inspections, or guarantees of resale value. Verify important details before buying or selling. You can report inappropriate generated content directly from the item's menu. An account and internet connection are required. Photos and item information you submit are processed by our cloud and AI providers. Store checkout shows the current pack price and any applicable tax.

Know what it's worth before you buy it, sell it, or throw it away. ValueScout turns a photo into a real resale estimate. Point your camera at a thrift store find, a vintage jacket, a box from the attic, or anything gathering dust in the garage, and get an AI valuation in seconds, backed by what similar items are actually selling for right now. HOW IT WORKS 1. Snap up to three photos of your item. 2. The AI identifies the brand, category, era, and condition, and prefills the details for you. 3. Get an estimated value, a recommended selling price, and a listing you can post immediately. WHAT YOU GET Instant AI valuation Upload photos and let ValueScout identify the item and estimate what it's worth. No more twenty minutes of digging through sold listings for every single thing. Three prices, not one See a Quick Sale price that moves in one to three days, a Sweet Spot price that sells within one to two weeks, and a Max Value price for when you can wait for the right buyer. Pick the trade-off that fits how fast you want the cash. Real market comparisons Pull up similar items listed on eBay right now and nearby on Facebook Marketplace, so you can sanity-check the estimate against the live market instead of trusting a number on faith. Ready-to-post listings ValueScout writes the title and description for you and picks your best photos. Copy it straight into eBay, Poshmark, Mercari, or Facebook Marketplace. Item story and fun facts Find out where your piece came from: its history, its era, and the occasional surprising detail about who else owned one. Rarity rating See at a glance whether your find is Common, Rare, or Legendary, so you know when something in the pile is worth a second look. My Collection Save your finds into a personal collection, track your total portfolio value, spot your crown jewel, and share the whole thing with a link. Selling guides Free PDF guides for eBay, Mercari, Poshmark, and Facebook Marketplace, written for people who are actually trying to make money, not just clear shelf space. WHO IT'S FOR Thrifters and resellers who need to make a call in the aisle, fast. Anyone decluttering a closet, garage, or estate and wondering what is actually worth listing. Collectors who want to know what their pieces are really worth. People who inherited a house full of stuff and have no idea where to start. Know the value before you hit the register.
