Magpie: What’s It Worth?

Find gold amongst the noise.

You are in a charity shop, at a car boot sale, in an antiques centre or a house clearance, and something catches your eye. Is it worth what the ticket says? Magpie tells you in about twenty seconds.

Photograph it
Take up to four photographs: the whole object, the back, and any mark. Magpie reads backstamps, hallmarks and book barcodes on your phone before anything is sent, so a maker's mark is the first thing it sees.

Know what it is
Maker, piece and period, with a confidence you can see rather than a guess dressed as a fact, and a short list of what to check while the object is still in your hand.

Sold, not asking
A price range built from what the same thing recently sold for, not what sellers are asking. Every sale is drawn on the range so you can see how it was reached, and Magpie says how many of them it trusted.

Buy, maybe or pass
Type the ticket price and Magpie says whether it is worth paying, allowing for the fees you would pay to sell it on.

Works where you are
Sold prices in your currency and the answer in your language, across the United Kingdom, Ireland, the United States and eighteen European countries.

Your appraisals, kept
Everything you have appraised stays on your phone with its photographs, range and verdict, ready to look back on.

Credits, not a subscription
Your first three appraisals are free. After that, buy a bundle of 10 or 50 credits in the app. One credit is one appraisal, credits never expire, and no credit is taken when an appraisal fails.

Private by design
No adverts, ever. Your photographs are used for the appraisal you asked for and are not stored on our servers. Sign in with Google or Apple; there is no password. Delete your account, and everything with it, from Settings at any time.

Valuations are estimates from photographs and recent sales, not advice. Magpie cannot handle the object or confirm it is genuine. For anything valuable, or for insurance, probate or sale, ask a qualified valuer.
