Every donation deserves the right price.
Volunteers photograph an item. PricedRight suggests a shelf price from what the same thing actually sold for on eBay UK, with your head office’s pricing rules already applied.

How a price is made
1
Take a photo
Snap the item on the shop phone or tablet, plus its base or label if it has one.
2
AI identifies it and checks the market
PricedRight’s AI recognises the item from the photo, down to the maker and model, then checks what the same thing actually sold for on eBay UK recently.
3
Your rules set the price
Head office’s rule for that shop and category turns the typical sold price into the number on the tag.

AI that knows what it’s looking at
PricedRight’s AI has been trained and tested on thousands of products. It reads a photo the way an experienced volunteer would, only faster.
Spots the details that matter
Brand, model, maker’s marks, materials, size and condition, read from the item and its label or base.
Finds true matches
It searches thousands of real sales and keeps only the same item. Bundles, other sizes and look-alikes are left out.
Knows when to ask
No sales to go on? It gives an AI estimate and says so. A possible designer piece or fake? It suggests an expert check.
The same answer every time
The same item gets the same price, whichever shop or volunteer takes the photo.
Why not just look it up on eBay?
You can, and good volunteers do. But it takes time on every item, and most searches show asking prices, not what things actually sold for. So most shops end up pricing by gut feel, and good items go cheap while others sit on the rail.
Gut feel
Quick, but the price depends on who is on shift. Valuable items are missed and ordinary ones are overpriced.
Searching eBay yourself
Can be accurate, but takes minutes per item and a confident researcher. Every shop does it differently.
PricedRight
AI recognises the item from a photo, finds what it actually sold for and applies your rules. A fair price in seconds, the same way in every shop.
Made for the people behind the counter
Many shop volunteers aren’t phone people, and they shouldn’t need to be. Big buttons, plain words, nothing to learn.
- Sign in with a short PIN. No email addresses or passwords on the shop phone.
- One price, not a spreadsheet. The answer is the number to write on the tag.
- Help is one tap away. A help button on every screen answers questions in plain English.
- A little fun along the way. Now and then, volunteers guess the price before the answer appears. “Close!” feels good, and nobody is ever told they were wrong.
Donors can trust their gift is priced fairly
When someone hands over a good winter coat or a piece of their mum’s china, they want it to raise as much as it can for the cause. PricedRight prices every item on what it is really worth, so donations aren’t sold off too cheaply or left on the shelf because they cost too much.
Head office sets the rules. Every shop follows them.
Pricing rules
Adjust by shop, region or category. A busy town-centre shop can price higher than a village one.
Price change reports
See where volunteers change the suggested price, so you can tune your rules with evidence.
Expert checks
Managers can send designer pieces and possible fakes to a PricedRight expert before they go out.
One monthly price for your charity
Set for the number of shops you run. Every valuation, expert check and report is included, with no charge per item.
