Is it worth buying? Snap it and find out

The Value Scanner tells you what a find is, roughly what it sells for, and whether the price on the tag is a deal. Usually in about 10 seconds, right there in the aisle.

  1. Snap the find. A lamp, a jacket, a camera, a piece of pottery.
  2. Type the price. A photo of the label or maker's mark gets a closer answer.
  3. Get the verdict. Maker, era, resale range and what to check before you buy.
  • Sleeper! worth far more than the tag
  • Great find a good buy
  • Fair price about what it's worth
  • Skip it priced over its value

Your first 3 scans are free. Unlimited scans are an upgrade in the app.

ThriftyPickers questions

Is ThriftyPickers free?

Yes. ThriftyPickers is free to download from the App Store and Google Play, and finding stores, hours, items and reviews is free. The Value Scanner gives you 3 free scans; after that, Value Scanner Unlimited is $8.99 a month or $34.99 a year, with a 3-day free trial, bought in the app.

What is the Value Scanner?

Take a photo of something you found while thrifting and the Value Scanner tells you what it is, who made it and when, what it usually resells for, and whether the price tag is a deal: Sleeper, Great find, Fair price or Skip it. It also gives tips on what to check before you buy. The value is an estimate, not a guarantee of price or sale.

Do I need an account?

No. You can browse stores, hours and items without one. Sign in to save stores and write reviews.

Can I use my ThriftStores.net account?

Yes. ThriftyPickers runs on ThriftStores.net, so the same account works in both. Stores you save on the website show up in the app, and reviews you write appear on both.

I own a thrift store. Can I manage it from the app?

You can claim your store in the app. Hours, photos, items for sale and plans are managed from your dashboard on ThriftStores.net.
