How does the ResellerIQ calculator work?

Type any item description (like 'Nike Dunk Low' or 'Dyson V11'), enter your asking price and estimated sell price, and the calculator gives you an instant verdict (Strong Buy, Buy, Negotiate, Weak Buy, or Pass) with a Flip Score, profit breakdown across 14 selling platforms, and sell price scenarios.

Is the reseller calculator free?

Yes, the calculator is 100% free with no account required. All features work including brand intelligence for 160+ brands, 14-platform comparison, sell price scenarios, Flip Score, and 3 AI photo scans per month. Pro ($9.99/mo) adds unlimited AI scans, manifest upload, and AI insights.

What is the Flip Score?

The Flip Score is a 0-100 rating that weighs six factors: ROI vs your target, brand tier, sell speed, size demand, risk level, and platform choice. It gives you a quick gut check alongside the verdict — Excellent Flip (85+), Strong Flip (70-84), Decent Flip (55-69), Risky Flip (40-54), or Poor Flip (below 40).

Does the calculator work for pallets and truckloads?

Yes. The calculator has three modes: Single Item (for thrift finds, bins, garage sales), Pallet (for liquidation pallets with grade-adjusted sell-through, 3-scenario projections, and max bid), and Truckload (for full truckloads with multi-pallet math).

What brands does the calculator recognize?

Over 160 brands across 12 categories including Nike, Lululemon, Apple, Dyson, KitchenAid, Milwaukee, Le Creuset, LEGO, Louis Vuitton, Patagonia, and more. Plus 78 specific model families like Nike Dunk vs Nike Monarch, iPhone 15 vs iPhone 11, and Dyson V15 vs V6.

How does the AI photo scan work?

Tap the camera button next to the item description, snap a photo of the item, and AI identifies the brand, model, category, and condition in 2-3 seconds. The form auto-fills with the results. Free users get 3 scans per month, Pro users get unlimited scans.

What selling platforms are supported?

14 platforms with real fee calculations: eBay, Facebook Marketplace, Poshmark, Mercari, OfferUp, Depop, Etsy, Amazon, ThredUp, The RealReal, Whatnot, TikTok Shop, eBay Live, and In-Store/Local. The cross-platform comparison shows profit and ROI for each platform sorted by best return.
