About us
Trusted valuations for Americans who refuse to leave money behind.
ValueScout was founded in 2022 by a small team of appraisers, machine-learning engineers, and lifelong thrifters. We built the tool we always wished we had.
Our story
Every weekend, millions of Americans walk past hidden treasures in thrift stores, estate sales, and family attics — simply because they don't know what's valuable. Traditional appraisals cost hundreds of dollars and take weeks. We thought there had to be a better way.
ValueScout combines the judgment of certified appraisers with real-time sold-listing data from the world's largest resale marketplaces. The result is an instant, transparent valuation you can actually trust — whether you're a full-time reseller or just downsizing the family home.
Expert-grade accuracy
Our valuation models are reviewed by certified appraisers with decades of auction-house experience.
Privacy & security first
We never sell your data. Bank-grade encryption protects every photo and transaction.
Built for real people
Designed for everyday Americans — easy to use, with U.S.-based human support 7 days a week.
A community of 750k+
