About Boot Sale Buddy: Flip Scanner
Point your camera at anything at a car boot sale and find out what it's worth — before you hand over the 50p. Boot Sale Buddy identifies the item from a photo, checks what ones like it are going for right now, and tells you the most you should sensibly pay once selling fees and postage come off. No more standing in a field squinting at a half-rubbed-off model number. Then it keeps score. Log what you paid, log what it sold for, and watch your profit stack up like a trading portfolio. WHAT YOU GET • Instant recognition — brand and model, not just "a cassette player" • Live prices for pretty much anything: tech, china, toys, tools, games • Records and CDs priced from what copies actually sold for • A suggested maximum buy price, so you know when to walk away • Log buys in two taps — built for cold hands and bad signal • Or add anything by hand: job lots, boxes of bits, stuff you bought years ago • Price up a photo you already took, without being stood in front of it • Automatic profit maths after selling fees and postage • Your whole haul in one place: in stock, sold, and what you're up • Search your finds, and see how long each one's been sitting • One tap through to eBay, Vinted or Amazon to check for yourself • Share a card of your best flips HONEST ABOUT PRICES Most prices are what similar items are listed at right now, not what they finally sold for — we say which you're looking at, every time. For records and CDs we can show real completed sales, so we do. Nothing is ever invented: if we can't find enough genuine listings, we say so and hand you the search instead of a made-up number. Treat it as research, not a valuation. BUDDY PRO Free includes 3 scans a day, which is plenty to get a feel for it. Buddy Pro gives you unlimited scans, CSV export for your tax return and your whole haul backed up, from £1.99/month or £12.99/year — less than one good flip. For anyone who's ever paid 50p for something worth £40. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Buddy Pro Monthly — £1.99 per month. Buddy Pro Yearly — £12.99 per year, with a 7-day free trial. Buddy Pro Lifetime — £29.99, paid once. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your Apple ID account settings after purchase. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when a subscription is bought Terms of Use: https://boot-sale-buddy-api.fly.dev/terms Privacy Policy: https://boot-sale-buddy-api.fly.dev/privacy
