What you see in the aisle

One photo, one clear answer

CheapskateIQ reads the item and tag, finds what similar pieces sell for, and works out your profit after fees and shipping, so you know in seconds whether it's worth putting in the cart.

  • Max buy price for your target return
  • List price for eBay and Vinted
  • Buy / Maybe / Pass at a glance
  • Tell it the condition so used items are priced fairly

Illustrative example only. Real results depend on current listings, condition, shipping and fees.

Who it's for

Weekend thrifters

You love a deal but aren't sure which finds are actually worth the price. Get a straight answer before you reach the register.

Part-time resellers

You flip on eBay or Vinted around a day job. Know your max buy price and real profit after fees, so every trip pays off.

Serious sourcers

You buy a lot. Keep every find in a saved, price-tracked list and list the best ones when the market is right.

Built for resellers

Fee-aware math

eBay final value fees and shipping are baked in, so you see real profit, not just the gap between prices.

A clear target

Every find is judged against a 100% return: you'd earn back at least what you paid. CheapskateIQ works backward to the highest price worth paying.

Saved & price-tracked

Not ready to sell? Every appraisal is saved, and CheapskateIQ keeps checking the market so you can come back and list it when the price is right.

Listing text ready

Get a clean title and honest description to copy straight into eBay or Vinted.

eBay & Vinted

Pricing for both platforms. Create eBay listings straight from the app once you connect your eBay account; Vinted listings are a guided copy-and-paste, as Vinted has no public seller API.

Buy / Maybe / Pass

One clear verdict at the rack, based on your profit and the 100% return target, so you can decide in seconds instead of doing math in the aisle.

Camera or photo library

Snap the item and tag on the spot, or pick photos you already took. Add extra angles so flaws and labels are on the record.

Installs like an app

Open your personal link on your iPhone and add it to your Home Screen. No App Store, no passwords, and your saved finds stay private to you.
