For resellers

Buy or Pass? shows your real profit in seconds, after marketplace fees, promoted listings, shipping, supplies and sales tax. Built for the thrift aisle, the garage sale and the estate sale, where you have to decide fast.

Free to use. Pro unlocks hauls, AI photo scans, consignment and tax exports.

Made for the hunt

Thrift aisles. Garage sales at dawn. Estate sales.

The good stuff goes fast, and the math is never simple: fees, ad rates, shipping, supplies, sales tax. Buy or Pass? does all of it in the time it takes to pick an item up.

Thrift storesGarage salesEstate salesFlea marketsClearance aislesAuctions
An early-morning garage sale: a record player, dishes, a brass lamp and folded sweaters on folding tables in golden sunrise light. Thrift finds on a wooden table: a film camera, a cast iron pot, a milk glass bowl and folded denim.
Every find gets the same question. Is it worth it?
01 · The verdict

Buy? Or pass. In two numbers.

Enter what you’d pay and what it usually sells for. You get a clear verdict, the profit you’d actually keep, and the most you should pay for it.

  • Your own rules: minimum profit, how many times your cost it must return, fee and ad rates.
  • Learns from your real sales: after five sales, verdicts adjust to how your prices actually land.
  • Works offline. The calculator never needs a signal.

02 · Identify with a photo

Snap it. Know what it is.

Photograph the item, its tag or the model number. The AI names it, writes your sold-price search and drafts a listing title, item specifics and a description.

  • Anything a photo can’t show is left as a [bracketed reminder], never made up.
  • The AI never sets prices. You check real sold prices.
  • Photos are sent only with your permission. Turn it off any time.

03 · Haul with a budget PRO

Shop to a budget. Know what to put back.

Every item in the cart gets its own verdict.

Set a budget for the trip and add items as you shop. Spend and expected profit add up as you go. Go over, and it tells you which item to put back first.

  • Spend, expected profit and what’s left in the budget, live.
  • Save an item for later, or remove it, with one tap.
  • Finish the trip and everything moves to Inventory.

Questions

Good to know.

Does it work without a signal?

Yes. Checks, hauls, inventory, mileage and expenses all work offline. Only AI photo scans need a connection.

Where is my data stored?

On your device. There’s no account and no sign-in. Photos are sent to the AI only when you ask for a scan, and only after you’ve said yes once.

Does the AI decide prices?

No. It identifies the item and drafts listing text. Prices come from real sold listings you look up, and from your own past sales.

How do I cancel Pro?

In your Apple Account’s subscription settings, any time. The app’s Settings has a shortcut to Manage subscription and a Restore purchases button.

Is it on Android?

Not yet. Buy or Pass? is coming to iPhone and iPad first.

Is this made by a marketplace?

No. Buy or Pass? is an independent app for resellers. It isn’t affiliated with eBay Inc. or any marketplace, and it doesn’t use your marketplace login.
