Help & FAQ

What is Liqd?

Liqd helps you find out what your stuff is worth, right now. Snap a photo or search for an item, and Liqd shows you what similar items are selling for based on active marketplace listings. Save items to your Vault to keep track of what you own.

What does Liqd work best for?

Liqd finds the most reliable prices for things with lots of comparable listings online — electronics, sneakers, gaming gear, trading cards, comics, collectibles, watches, and brand-name items. The more popular and well-documented the item, the better the result.

Liqd doesn't yet handle vehicles, real estate, fine art, or truly one-of-a-kind items. For those, you'll get a heads-up and a pointer to better resources.

Tips for the best results

Be specific. "Air Jordan 1 Retro High" beats "Air Jordan 1." "iPhone 14 Pro 256GB" beats "iPhone."

Include the model name, size, version, or year when relevant. If you're searching for a sealed product (like a Pokemon booster box), say "sealed" or "booster box." The more your search matches the way listings are titled, the tighter the answer.

What do the confidence labels mean?

When Liqd has lots of similar listings with tight pricing, you'll see a clear estimated value with a High or Medium Confidence label.

Wide price range means there are many matches but the prices vary widely — usually because the search is too broad (e.g., "iPhone" covers everything from old iPhone 6s to brand-new Pro Maxes). Try a more specific search to narrow it down.

Limited matches found means there weren't enough close matches to give you a reliable number — usually because the item is niche, rare, or one-of-a-kind. The matches that did show up are still visible below, so you can decide if they're relevant.

How accurate are the values?

The estimates are based on what items like yours are actively listed for in marketplaces today. They're a real signal, but not a guaranteed sale price — what something actually sells for can differ from what it's listed for. Treat the numbers as a snapshot, not gospel.

For high-value items, it's always worth cross-checking with another source before making a decision.

Why doesn't Liqd handle vehicles?

Cars, trucks, and motorcycles have their own well-developed valuation tools (Kelley Blue Book, Edmunds, Carfax) that account for things Liqd doesn't — mileage, accident history, location, trim level. Rather than give you a misleading number, Liqd points you to those when you scan a vehicle.

Same approach for fine art, jewelry over a few hundred dollars, and real estate. Those need specialists, not pattern matching.
