FlipTip AI
FlipTip AI is an AI-powered value scanner designed for buyers and resellers who want to quickly determine the fair market value and resale potential of physical items. Users point their phone camera at an item in a thrift store, flea market, garage sale, or estate sale, and the tool identifies the brand and model, checks multiple local marketplaces, and returns a fair price, expected profit, and sell-speed score. The platform supports single-item Quick Scan, multi-angle Multi Scan for higher accuracy and authenticity, and Batch Scan for processing multiple different items at once and ranking them by profit. A Radar feature, available on paid plans, flags high-potential finds in real time as users walk through markets. It covers 50+ countries and works in any language, pulling used prices from eBay, Vinted, Facebook, Wallapop, and other local marketplaces. FlipTip AI includes fake detection and match confidence to help avoid counterfeit or misidentified items. It offers a free forever plan with limited single photo scans, while advanced modes and Radar require a paid subscription. The service is accessed through a web app with Google sign-in, no credit card required for the free trial.
