Confirm the deal before you commit.
Online listings don't come with an expert eye. Sellers mislabel, overprice, and miss details that change everything. Patina gives you the information they didn't.
Is this actually a good deal?
That Facebook Marketplace listing says 'vintage mid-century chair — $200.' But is it really mid-century? Is $200 fair? Is it a reproduction? Online photos make it hard to tell, and sellers don't always know what they have.
Scan the listing photo.
Point Patina at any listing photo — eBay, Facebook Marketplace, Mercari, Etsy, Craigslist. Get instant identification of maker, era, and condition, plus real market value from actual sold listings. Know if you're getting a steal or getting played.
Works Everywhere You Shop
Facebook Marketplace
Sellers don't always know what they have. Patina catches mislabeled furniture, underpriced vintage, and overpriced reproductions before you drive across town.
eBay & Auction Sites
Verify seller claims against real data. Confirm maker, era, and condition from listing photos — and see what identical items actually sold for.
Depop, Mercari & Poshmark
Vintage clothing and accessories are easy to mislabel. Patina identifies designers, dates pieces, and spots reproductions from a single photo.
Chairish & 1stDibs
High-end listings with high-end prices. Confirm whether the markup matches the piece — or if you're paying a premium for something that isn't what it claims.
Craigslist & OfferUp
No seller ratings, no return policy. Patina gives you the information you need to make confident offers on local pickup deals.
Estate Sale Listings
Preview estate sale photos before you go. Identify the pieces worth showing up early for — and skip the sales that don't have what you're looking for.
“Saw a set of 'old plates' on Facebook Marketplace for $30. Scanned the photo — Franciscan Starburst, near-mint. Drove across town and bought them. Sold the set for $380.”
“I almost paid $400 for a 'Herman Miller' desk on eBay. Patina told me it was actually a Steelcase knockoff worth maybe $120. Saved me $280 and an awkward return.”
