Step-by-Step Guide

How RepackAI WorksFrom Upload to Sale in 4 Simple Steps

Professional-grade luxury appraisals powered by AI. No expertise required.

The Complete Process

From photographing your item to receiving a detailed appraisal, the entire process takes less than 60 seconds.

1

Upload Clear Photos

Multiple Angles

Take photos from different angles: front, back, sides, interior, and close-ups of logos, hardware, and any wear.

Good Lighting

Use natural daylight or bright indoor lighting. Avoid shadows and blurry images for best AI analysis accuracy.

Focus on Details & Date Codes

Capture serial numbers, date codes, authentication cards, dust bags, and original packaging. Date codes help determine the manufacturing year (e.g., Louis Vuitton codes inside pockets, Chanel season stamps).

Include Price Tags

Upload photos of retail price tags if available. Our AI reads prices in any currency (EUR, USD, GBP) for accurate original retail value.

💡 Pro Tips:

  • Price Tags: Our AI reads retail prices in EUR, USD, GBP to calculate accurate resale percentages.
  • Date Codes: Include photos of interior tags where date codes are found. LV codes are inside pockets, Chanel stamps on interior labels, Hermès stamps under straps.

Supported Formats

JPG, PNG, HEIC (max 10MB per image)

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate are the appraisals?

Our AI achieves 90-95% accuracy on brand and model detection, and pricing estimates are typically within 10-15% of actual selling prices. Accuracy improves with high-quality photos and popular brands.

Is the appraisal really free?

Yes! Basic appraisals are completely free with no credit card required. We offer premium features (multi-platform posting, advanced authentication) through optional paid subscriptions starting at $14.99/month.

Can I trust the AI for authentication?

Our AI provides preliminary authentication insights, not final authentication. For items over $500, we recommend professional authentication services like Vestiaire Collective, The RealReal, or Entrupy.

How is this different from other platforms?

Unlike The RealReal or Vestiaire (which charge 6-25% commission), RepackAI is a pricing tool, not a marketplace. You keep 100% of your sale proceeds. We aggregate data from ALL platforms, not just one.

Do I need to create an account?

No! You can get appraisals without signing up. Creating a free account allows you to save appraisals, track pricing trends, create listings, and publish to eBay and Facebook Marketplace directly from your appraisal results.

What items can be appraised?

Luxury handbags, shoes, accessories, ready-to-wear from brands like Hermès, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Prada, Dior, Fendi, YSL, Balenciaga, and more. Expanding to watches and jewelry soon.
