The problem

You're doing the math in your head.
And it's costing you.

Every reseller knows the drill — pull up eBay, filter sold, scroll, estimate condition, do fee math mentally. By the time you finish the item's gone or you bought wrong.

⏳

90 seconds per item

The manual eBay sold comp lookup takes over a minute per item. Scan 20 items on a Saturday morning and you lose 30 minutes of floor time.

📉

Buying on gut feel

Skip the research and you either overpay and kill your margin, or walk away from a flip worth $80 because you weren't sure.

🧾

Fees eat your spread

13.25% FVF + shipping + processing — most resellers underestimate costs by 3–5 points and wonder why the math doesn't work out.

📱

Too many tabs, too slow

Google Lens → ChatGPT → eBay sold filter → calculator. By the time you're done, someone else grabbed it.

You can — it takes ~90 seconds per item. Filter to sold, scroll past junk, find comparable condition, do fee math in your head. FlipScout does it in 15 seconds with fee math included. 20 items on a Saturday = 25 minutes back.

It uses Claude vision to identify brand, model, and condition. It shows you the exact keyword used so you can verify and correct it. Clear photos with visible labels get the best results. Electronics, housewares, clothing, and collectibles work best.

Real completed eBay sales from the last 90 days — not active listings or price estimates. We pull range, average, median, and a condition-filtered average when enough data exists.

Just Telegram, which you likely already have. No separate app, no account creation, no login wall. Search @TheFlipScoutBot, tap Start, and send your first photo.

Strongest for general thrift: kitchen appliances, electronics, tools, clothing brands, housewares, vintage, and collectibles. Categories with thin eBay sales history or heavy grading (coins, trading cards, limited sneakers) may return fewer comps.
