Paragraph (≈100 words)

Item Value Checker is a free web tool that estimates an item's resale value from a single photo. Upload a picture of any item — electronics, furniture, sneakers, collectibles, toys, tools, MacBooks, game consoles, and dozens more categories — and the tool identifies it via AI image recognition, pulls matching recent sold listings from eBay, and returns a market-validated price range plus a confidence score in 3–5 seconds. No signup, no fees, no manual brand-and-model lookup. The tool also includes an AI-written marketplace listing generator (eBay, Mercari, Poshmark) and a browser extension that overlays resale-value badges on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp, and Mercari.

People shouldn't have to spend 20 minutes searching eBay every time they wonder what something is worth. A photo and three seconds should be enough — and with sold-price data already public, there was no reason it couldn't be.

— Founder, On why the tool exists

Asking prices are what sellers hoped to get. Sold prices are what buyers actually paid. The difference is usually 20-60%, and it's the difference between a realistic estimate and a misleading one.

— Founder, On using sold-listing data vs asking prices

Resellers and flippers don't have time to research every item before buying. The whole point is to decide in seconds whether something at a thrift store or estate sale clears the margin they need.

— Founder, On the reseller use case

Embed the tool

Bloggers, YouTubers, and partner sites: paste the snippet below to embed the value-check tool on your own page. Auto-resizes to fit content. Free, no signup, no API key. Includes a discreet “Powered by” attribution link that earns you nothing — but if you want a real revenue share, contact us at the press email below.

<iframe
  src="https://itemvaluechecker.com/embed"
  loading="lazy"
  style="width: 100%; min-height: 720px; border: 0;"
  allow="camera"
  title="Item Value Checker"
></iframe>
<script>
  // Optional: auto-resize the iframe as the tool's content changes.
  window.addEventListener('message', (e) => {
    if (e?.data?.type === 'ivc-embed:height') {
      const f = document.querySelector('iframe[src*="itemvaluechecker.com/embed"]');
      if (f) f.style.height = e.data.height + 'px';
    }
  });
</script>

The allow="camera" attribute lets mobile users take a fresh photo inside the embed instead of uploading from disk. Drop it if your page already has camera permissions or you want upload-only.
