Live eBay market data, with sold and active estimates labeled separately
Check what an item is likely worth on eBay. When sold comps are available, we show sold-price data. When sold data is limited, we clearly label the result as an active-listing market estimate.
On eBay, listed prices (active listings) show what sellers are asking. Sold prices (completed listings) show what buyers actually paid. These two numbers are often very different.
Anyone can list a common item for $500. If no buyers pay that price, it's meaningless for your pricing decision. The only accurate data is what similar items sold for recently in similar condition.
Include brand, model, and key details — colorway, edition, size, condition. Specific searches return more accurate comps than generic terms.
The tool tries sold-comps research first. If sold data is unavailable or too thin, it falls back to active listings and clearly labels the result as an estimate instead of a sold price.
Results include low, market, and high price, sample count, data source, confidence, and warnings when the estimate is based on active listings or limited data.
Market data is a starting point, not the answer. Sold comps are stronger than active listings; active-listing estimates should be treated as directional.
Search for the item on eBay, then filter results to "Sold Items" in the left sidebar on desktop (or under "Filter" on mobile). This shows completed sales with actual prices paid. The search form above attempts sold-comps research first and labels active-listing estimates when sold data is limited.
Listed prices are what sellers hope to receive. Sold prices reflect what buyers were willing to pay. Sellers regularly list items at aspirational prices that never actually sell. Sold prices — from eBay's "Completed Items" filter — are the accurate signal for market value. This is the most common pricing mistake on eBay: setting prices based on what other sellers are listing for, not what buyers are paying.
Yes. Completely free — no account, no credit card, no signup required. You can check up to 25 items per day. For more searches or to create reviewed eBay listings from photos, sign up for a free FlipListr account at /request-access — 5 listing checks per month at no charge.
Sold-comp results are stronger because they reflect completed sales. Active-listing estimates are weaker because they show asking prices, so FlipListr labels them and applies a conservative adjustment before recommending a market estimate. Low confidence usually means the search matched multiple item variations — try a more specific search term for better results.
Sell velocity shows how quickly items in your search tend to sell on eBay — the average number of days between when a listing was posted and when it sold. Fast means under 7 days. Steady means 7–21 days. Slow means 21–60 days. Hard to sell means over 60 days. This tells you not just what an item is worth, but how long your capital will be tied up waiting for a buyer.
The Scout tool is photo-based — you take a photo of an item at a thrift store or garage sale and AI identifies it before showing its eBay value. This sold price checker is text-based — you type the item name and get pricing data instantly. Both tools are free with daily limits. The Scout tool is best when you don't know what you're looking at; this tool is best when you already know the item and just need the current market price.
