From the shelf to a straight answer

Most items take a quick check. The ones worth your money get a full report.

  1. Take photos or paste a link

    Shoot the whole piece, any maker's mark and the price tag. Or paste an eBay, Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist listing.

  2. Get a quick check

    In about 15 seconds you know what it is and roughly what it sells for. Anything below your minimum stops here, so you don't spend more credits on it.

  3. Run the full report

    About a minute of research on recent sold prices, history, where to sell and what each place costs you.

  4. Buy, offer or pass

    Enter the asking price and get a plain answer, with a fair offer to make when the price is too high.

What a full report covers

  • What it is, who made it and how sure the AI is
  • Specifications and history
  • When and where it was made, and who designed it
  • Its price when new and what it sells for now, from real sold listings
  • The three best places to sell it
  • Shipping, packing, selling fees and marketing costs at each
  • Hours of your time each place takes
  • A ready-to-post listing for each place

Download any report as a PDF, Word or OpenDocument file. Google Docs is coming soon.

Where it pays off

Estate and garage sales

Check a shelf of glassware while the line moves. Quick checks cost a single credit, so screen freely and save full reports for the real finds.

Thrift and antique stores

Spot the mispriced piece. Photograph the price tag too and the app reads the asking price for you.

Online listings

Paste a Marketplace, eBay or Craigslist link and know whether it's worth the drive before you message the seller.

Auctions

Decide your top bid before the lot comes up, with the auction house's buyer's premium added to the price you enter.

Big purchases

Cars, jewelry, watches, coins and whole collections. See recent sold prices, the red flags for that kind of item and what to verify before real money changes hands.

Selling what you own

Find out what an heirloom or a garage full of tools is worth and where each piece sells best, with the listing written for you.

Your target, your rules

Tell the app the return you want: 1.75× if you sell in volume, 3× for a solid flip, 10× if you only want home runs. Set a minimum value so cheap items stop after the quick check. Every report works out the most you can pay and still hit your number.

You can change the target for a single item, and add what an hour of your time is worth.

A vase sells for $85 on Etsy. Fees, shipping and packing come to $10. At a 3× target:

Pay up to $25

The sale covers every selling cost plus three times what you paid.

Questions

Does it work on iPhone?

Not yet. Arbitrage Pro runs on Android phones and tablets with Android 10 or later. An iPhone version is planned after testing.

How accurate are the values?

They come from recent sold prices, not asking prices, and the app leans conservative. It's research, not an appraisal: check anything important, especially authenticity, before you buy.

Can it tell if something is fake?

No app can authenticate from photos. Reports point out what to check for that kind of item and when it's worth paying an expert or a grading service.

What does it cost?

It's free for invited testers. Each tester gets a set number of credits: a quick check uses 1, and a full report uses 4 more.

Do I need a signal?

Yes. Photos are analyzed on our server, so you need mobile data or Wi-Fi. If a sale is in a dead spot, take the photos with your phone's camera and add them from Gallery once you're back in range.

What happens to my photos?

They're used to research your item and aren't kept on our server after the scan finishes. Your saved items and photos stay on your phone.

How do I get it?

Testers join by invitation. If you have an invite link, open it on your Android phone. Otherwise see Get the app. The illustrated guide covers installing and using it, step by step.
