Understanding the value range

Every scan returns a range rather than a single number, because identical items sell for different prices to different buyers on different days.

The three price points

• Low: the fast sale end of the market. Use it when the category is saturated or you want the cash now.
• Suggested: our estimate from comparable items that actually sold. This is the default asking price the app puts into your listing.
• High: what the item can reach when it is rare, in strong condition, or you can wait for the right buyer.

How much to trust it

The range is built from how far real sales land from our estimate, so it holds about 8 in 10 sales. We check that every week against sales we did not price and publish the result on the accuracy page. There is no percentage score on a result, because no single number reliably tells a tight price from a loose one. Instead:

• The sold listings behind the price are one tap away, so you can see which ones match your exact version and condition.
• When the category is one where prices vary a lot, or the matching sales spread wide, the result says so in plain words next to the price.
• The three list prices show the chance of selling within 14 days when enough real listings back that number.

How to sharpen a result

1. Answer the question the result asks, or add a detail such as a model number or maker. That re-checks the recent sales at no charge.
2. For a fresh start with more photos (labels, maker's marks, the underside), re-analyze the item. That uses one scan credit.

Refreshing an older estimate

Markets move. In Scan history (under More), tap Get price to re-run the latest market data on a past scan. Get price does not use a scan credit, and you can re-price each item once every 8 hours. Use it right before you list something you scanned weeks ago.

We do not send an alert when one item's value moves. What you get each week is a portfolio email covering what your inventory is worth, what sold, what you listed and what is trending in your categories. For a fresh number on a single item, use Get price.
