Whether you found something at a thrift store, inherited items, or are cleaning out your garage, here are the categories people check most often.

How we determine what your item is worth

The value of any item comes down to one thing: what someone will actually pay for it. Not the original retail price, not what a seller hopes to get, and not what a price guide said two years ago. The most reliable answer to "how much is this worth?" comes from recent completed sales of the same item.

This tool uses eBay sold listing data because eBay has the largest marketplace for used goods, with millions of completed transactions across every category. When you upload a photo, the tool identifies your item and finds recent sold prices for similar items in comparable condition.

The result is a price range, not a single number, because condition, completeness, and timing all affect the final sale price. A used item in excellent condition with original packaging will sell near the top of the range. The same item with visible wear, missing accessories, or cosmetic damage will sell near the bottom.

Tips for getting the most accurate value

  • Photograph brand labels and model numbers. A clear shot of the brand tag, model sticker, or serial number lets the tool find exact matches instead of general comparisons.
  • Show the condition honestly. Include scratches, dents, stains, or missing parts in your photo. Hiding damage leads to inaccurate estimates that are too high.
  • Include accessories if you have them. Original boxes, chargers, manuals, and cases can increase an item's value by 15-30%.
  • Use good lighting. Natural daylight or bright indoor lighting helps the tool identify details. Blurry or dark photos produce less accurate results.
  • Check multiple items separately. If you have several items to value, upload each one individually for the most accurate per-item estimates.

Estimates based on eBay sold data are the most reliable you can get without a professional appraisal. The accuracy depends on how common your item is: popular electronics and sneakers have hundreds of comparable sales, producing tight estimates. Rare or one-of-a-kind items have fewer comparisons and wider ranges.
Yes. eBay prices are generally the benchmark, but items may sell for different amounts on Facebook Marketplace (local, no shipping costs), Poshmark (fashion markup), or at pawn shops (25-60% of resale value). Use the eBay sold price as your baseline and adjust for the platform.
Electronics depreciate fastest, losing 20-40% in the first year. Fast fashion, mass-produced toys, and particle board furniture have minimal resale value. Items that hold or gain value include vintage collectibles, quality tools, designer goods, and limited-edition sneakers.
For most everyday items (electronics, clothing, furniture, toys), a free online estimate is sufficient. Professional appraisals are worth the cost for high-value items like fine jewelry ($1,000+), antiques, fine art, rare coins, and luxury watches where authentication and provenance significantly affect value.
