Find it. Value it.
Sell it.
Start at home, then take the same skill to charity shops and car boots. Photograph an item, see what it could sell for, and turn good finds into cash.
There’s money hiding in plain sight.
Start with what you already have. Then learn to spot underpriced things elsewhere.

Go room by room. Find things you don't use, value them and build your £1,000 House Challenge.
Try a charity shop
Once you've got the eye for value, learn what to look for, check an item before buying and avoid the stuff that isn't worth it.
Hunt at car boots
Spot bargains, check potential resale value and decide quickly whether something is worth taking home to sell.
Will this find make money?
At a charity shop or car boot? Enter the asking price, what you think it could sell for, and your likely costs. No photo needed. If you value an item using the tool below, we'll fill in its estimate for you.
Based on your inputs, not verified sold listings or guaranteed profit. Fees, delivery, refunds, tax and your time may affect the real result. Check actual completed sales and platform fee schedules before buying.
How it works
From something sitting around the house to a selling price and listing in three steps.
Ready to find out what it’s worth?
Use a normal phone photo. You can correct the identification before pricing if needed.
What have you got?
Take a photo for automatic identification, or type the item if you already know what it is.
Know what it is?
Type as much detail as you know — for example “Nintendo Wii white console, boxed, 2 controllers”. You can set condition before we price it.
For the sharpest result, use your phone camera. If it does not open on your browser, the live camera still works as a fallback.
Keep the whole item in frame and use good light.
