What gets in your way — and what we do about it
The whole game of thrifting and antiquing is knowing more than the person selling to you — spotting the sleeper others walked past and not overpaying for the thing that only looks valuable. That edge used to take years of reference books and gut feel. VaultXL puts it on your phone so you can act on it while you're still standing there.
You can't authenticate a maker's mark in the aisle
A hallmark, a backstamp, a signature on the underside — it either makes the piece or means nothing, and you can't leaf through a reference guide with a dealer watching. Photograph the mark and VaultXL identifies it and what pieces like it actually sold for.
Booth asking prices anchor you into overpaying
A dealer's sticker is a starting point, not the truth. Without the real sold value in front of you, you negotiate blind and talk yourself into a bad buy. VaultXL gives you the sold-comp range so you know your ceiling before you counter.
The sleepers are the ones you almost walk past
The profit is in the unremarkable-looking piece that's quietly worth ten times its tag. You only catch those if you can check fast, item after item, without slowing your pace through the booth. VaultXL is built for that rapid check.
Your reference knowledge doesn't span every category
You might know mid-century glass cold but nothing about vintage tools or costume jewelry — and estate booths mix all of it. VaultXL carries the cross-category recall you can't, so an unfamiliar category isn't an automatic pass.

Thrifters & Antiquers— questions we're asked
That's the point. Snap the item or its maker's mark and you get the identity and a real sold-comp range in seconds — fast enough to make a buy-or-walk call at the booth without holding up your pace or tipping off the dealer.
Yes. Photograph the backstamp, signature, or hallmark and the AI identifies it, then pulls what comparable pieces actually sold for — not the fictional asking prices on live listings.
Starter is the sourcing plan: single seat, the full find-it kit, room scans, and real price lookups sized for someone buying to resell. If you just want to test the waters first, start on Scout — the cheapest entry — and upgrade when it's paying for itself.
Live listings show what people are asking, which can be wildly optimistic. VaultXL grounds you in sold comps — what pieces genuinely closed at — so you're negotiating against reality, not someone else's wishful sticker.
