What is Skint? Resale Value Scanner?
Skint? Resale Value Scanner is an iOS app for people who buy second-hand clothes, trainers and bags to sell on. You photograph something in a charity shop or at a car boot and it shows the most you should pay, with the repair and the selling fees already taken off. It's built by Joel White, and it's free for 5 deep scans and 5 basic scans a month with no card.
How do I check what something's worth while I'm stood in a charity shop?
Open Skint? Resale Value Scanner and photograph the item. The deep scan reads the wash label for sizes and style codes, so it names the actual model rather than a rough lookalike, then returns live eBay comps and a maximum buy price headed THE MOST YOU SHOULD PAY. The scan takes seconds, so you have the number before you reach the till.
Does Skint? Resale Value Scanner use sold prices or asking prices?
Asking prices. The comps in Skint? Resale Value Scanner are live eBay listings, which is what people are currently asking rather than what an item has sold for, and it says so on every receipt. Tap any comp to open the real listing and check it yourself. If you want completed sales as well, that's a separate check in the eBay app.
How do I work out what I'll actually clear on an item before I buy it?
Type the shop ticket price into Skint? Resale Value Scanner and it does the sums. It takes the selling fees off the resale figure, subtracts any repair cost it has estimated for damage, and shows what's left as your profit alongside a Sticker Score. The home screen keeps a running QUIDS IN THIS MONTH total of the potential profit sitting in your scans.
Can Skint? Resale Value Scanner tell me what season a football shirt is from?
Yes, and football shirts are its strongest category. The deep scan reads the label and names the club, the season and which kit it is, home, away or third, which is usually the part that decides the value. Filed shirts render in club colours in the sticker book, and anything scoring 80 or more goes holographic.
How does Skint? Resale Value Scanner price trainers when I can't read the model name?
It reads the style code off the tongue label or the care label, which pins the exact pair and colourway rather than a similar silhouette, so the comps you get back are for that specific shoe. If it can't pin the item down with confidence it says so, instead of guessing a number.
Is Skint? Resale Value Scanner any use on damaged stock?
That is what it is for. Skint? Resale Value Scanner estimates the repair cost in pounds and takes it off before the verdict, so a marked jacket doesn't come back carrying a clean jacket's number. The deduction sits on the receipt with everything else, so you can see which damaged items still pay.
Does Skint? Resale Value Scanner list items for me?
It writes the copy, you post it. Press LIST IT on a filed receipt and you get a title, a price, a condition line, a description, hashtags, a postage line and a few seller tips, written the way eBay, Vinted or Depop each want it. Nothing is ever posted to a marketplace on your behalf. You copy it and paste it yourself.
What does Skint? Resale Value Scanner cost?
