Hey all — I'm the developer behind an iOS app called Thrift Pal, an AI-powered scanner for flip/thrift items. Mods, hopefully this is cool, happy to delete if not.
I've been heads-down building features I *think* resellers want, but I'd rather just ask the people who actually do this every day.
A few specific things I'm trying to figure out:
When you scan an item in-store, what's the #1 piece of info you wish you had instantly? (sold comps, sell-through rate, seasonality, sourcing cost benchmark, something else?)
What categories matter most to you — clothes, books, electronics, collectibles, home goods?
What's the dealbreaker that makes you uninstall a tool like this — bad accuracy, slow scans, missing categories, ugly UI, pricing model?
How important is it that scans get saved/organized vs. scan-and-forget?
Is multi-scanning for scanning multiple items helpful?
Not fishing for downloads — genuinely trying to build the right things. I'll report back on what we end up shipping based on the responses.
