10 free scans, no card or sign-up needed.
Know if it's worth buying before you leave the store. Scan any item, see live eBay prices, calculate your profit in seconds. 10 free scans — no credit card needed.
Stop second-guessing thrift store finds. ThriftBuddy tells you what items are listed for on eBay — in seconds, right from the aisle.
If you've ever stood in a thrift store wondering whether that vintage camera, designer handbag, or out-of-print board game is actually worth grabbing, ThriftBuddy is built for you. No more guessing. No more digging through eBay listings on your phone with bad signal. Just point your camera and find out.
HOW IT WORKS
Open ThriftBuddy and frame the item in the scan box
Tap to scan
See live eBay pricing, profit estimate, and rarity rating in seconds
Buy it, then list it straight to eBay from the same scan
Behind the scenes, ThriftBuddy uses AI vision to identify items by their barcode, brand logo, model number, or visual appearance. Then it pulls current eBay listings for the same product and checks each one against your photo, so a lookalike doesn't set your price. Where eBay has a catalogue entry for the product, it matches that too. Prices reflect what a buyer actually pays — item plus delivery. Your match score tells you how confident the identification is, so you know how much weight to put on the number.

PRIVACY
Built by a solo developer who actually cares about privacy. No advertising. No tracking across other apps. No analytics tied to your identity. The photos you scan aren't kept on our server after the scan completes. Photos you attach to an eBay listing are sent to eBay, which is the whole point of listing. Read the full privacy policy at getthriftbuddy.com/privacy.
A NOTE ON PRICING ACCURACY
ThriftBuddy is a research tool, not a guarantee. Prices shown are what sellers are currently asking, not completed sales, and asking prices fluctuate. Even an accurate identification can return a wide range for unusual or rare items. Always use your own judgment before buying or selling. The match score on every scan tells you how confident the identification is — high confidence with lots of comparable listings is reliable, low confidence means double-check before pulling the trigger.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Listing to eBay just got real.
• Publish straight to eBay using the shipping, return and payment policies already on your account. ThriftBuddy never creates a policy for you.
• Set your ship-from location once and it's remembered for future sessions.
• Every scan now shows a photo of the comparable listing it priced against, so you can see the match instead of trusting it.
• Scans are checked photo against photo before pricing, so a lookalike product doesn't set your number. When the brand can't be confirmed, ThriftBuddy says so rather than guessing.
• Nearby loads faster and is easier to read at a glance.
