Patina - Identify & Value

Patina has totally transformed how I approach estate sales and thrift store finds! I use it to check the value of items before I buy and it’s saved me so many times from overpaying for things. It tells you instantly if something is hot on eBay or rare, making it super easy to flip for a profit. I’ve already found some amazing rare toys that I would’ve never known about without this app. Highly recommend it to anyone who’s into flipping or just wants to make sure they’re getting the best deal!

This thing is smart. I can point it at anything in the world and in seconds it tells me everything there is to know about it: maker, value, materials, sizing, resellability. It even writes up incredibly accurate descriptions for all the fields you need for your eBay listing. You can find a valuable piece at an estate sale and have it listed on eBay, FB Marketplace, Etsy, Chairish, Meecari, etc. etc. in under a minute. For real.

This made reselling from yard sales and thrift stores so much easier. I don’t even have to open my eBay app! I got an estimate from patina with just a picture and was able to connect it to eBay for comparison and could resell. It’s so much easier finding the worth of items as well without having to describe it in a search engine. My side gig just got way easier.
