What Is Price Genius?

Price Genius is our AI-powered tool that helps you price items accurately. Just upload photos, and it'll analyze your item and suggest a fair price.

How It Works

1. Upload Your Photos

During listing creation, add clear photos of your item. The more angles and details, the better.

2. Tap "Use Price Genius"

Let the AI analyze your images. It identifies:

  • What the item is

  • Brand and model (if visible)

  • Condition based on appearance

  • Current market value

3. Get Your Recommendation

Price Genius provides:

  • Suggested price range - What similar items sell for

  • Recommended price - A competitive starting point

  • Item description - Auto-generated text you can edit

4. Adjust If Needed

The AI is helpful, but you know your item best. Feel free to adjust the price based on:

  • Special features not visible in photos

  • Original purchase price

  • Sentimental or collector value

  • Local market conditions

What Makes Price Genius Smart

Our AI considers:

  • Recent sales data - What similar items actually sold for

  • Item condition - Wear affects price significantly

  • Brand value - Some brands hold value better

  • Age - Newer items generally command higher prices

  • Market trends - What buyers are paying right now

Tips for Better Results

Clear photos: Good lighting and multiple angles help the AI identify your item accurately.

Show the brand: Include visible logos, labels, or model numbers.

Show wear: Don't hide flaws. Honest photos lead to accurate pricing.

Include accessories: If selling a camera, show the lens, case, etc.

When to Trust the AI vs. Your Judgment

Trust Price Genius when:

  • Selling common electronics, furniture, or household items

  • You're unsure what similar items sell for

  • You want a quick starting point

Use your judgment when:

  • The item has collector or antique value

  • It's a rare or limited edition

  • You have special knowledge about the item

  • Local demand differs from general market

It's Just a Suggestion

Price Genius is a tool to help you, not a rule to follow. Set whatever price you think is fair. You can always adjust later if the item isn't selling.

Privacy Note

Your photos are analyzed by our AI partner (Claude by Anthropic) for pricing only. They're not stored or used for other purposes.
