Honest by design
An estimate is a starting point, not a promise.
Live listings show what comparable sellers are asking right now. They do not guarantee what your item will sell for. Condition, authenticity, missing parts, fees, shipping, local demand, and the selling platform still matter. Treasure Finder keeps those limits visible instead of pretending every photo has one certain price.
How it works
Three moves from driveway find to a calmer decision.
Photograph one item clearly
Fill the frame, then capture the maker mark, model, barcode, included pieces, and visible condition when those details are available.
Review the market evidence
The app uses artificial intelligence to identify the item and searches live eBay listings for comparable products.
Decide with the uncertainty in view
Read the estimated range, evidence, and Buy, Maybe, or Pass guide. Then verify anything expensive, unusual, or authenticity-sensitive before buying.
Photo-assisted identification
Start with the object in front of you instead of guessing the perfect search phrase.
Live listing evidence
See current marketplace comparisons while keeping asking prices separate from guaranteed sale value.
Plain-language guidance
Use a range and Buy, Maybe, or Pass verdict to slow down impulse buys, not to replace your judgment.
Field guides
Yard-sale guides — useful with or without the app.
The method comes first. These guides help you inspect, research, price, and track a find even if you never download anything.
How to spot valuable items at yard sales
Use marks, model details, condition, completeness, and comparable evidence instead of a lucky-story hunch.
How to photograph an item for resale research
Capture the exact details that help a search match the right item instead of a look-alike.
How to research a yard-sale item before buying
Build a specific search, compare like with like, and treat active asking prices with the right caution.
How much should you pay for a resale item?
Work backward from conservative proceeds and real costs to set a ceiling before you negotiate.
A yard-sale reseller checklist that prevents impulse buys
Bring the right tools, inspect in the same order, record the decision, and know when to walk away.
Use the range well
What the number can—and cannot—tell you.
It can help you: identify what to research, see a current asking-price neighborhood, compare the seller's price with a conservative resale range, and decide whether more checking is worth your time.
It cannot prove: authenticity, hidden condition, completed-sale demand, repair cost, future price, or profit. High-value and counterfeit-prone items need specialist verification before you rely on a number.
