Deep Scan and Fair Market Analysis.
Two engines working in tandem — one authenticates and grades the object, the other prices it against the live market. Together they replace a $300 appraisal in under a minute.
Deep Scan
The forensic pass a specialist would do — automated.
Go beyond identification. Deep Scan inspects multiple angles, surfaces condition cues, flags authenticity signals, and pulls maker marks, hallmarks, and serials into a structured report you can defend.
- Multi-angle condition grading
- Authenticity & maker-mark check
- Variant, edition & era detection
Fair Market Analysis
A price you can defend, drawn from real recent sales.
Pulls recent comparable sales and weighs them by condition, recency, and venue — so you get a value range with confidence, current buyer demand, and an estimated days-to-sell.
- Value range with confidence band
- Active demand & sell-time signal
- Comparable sales, weighted & dated
