Junk or Gem is not just another price scanner. It is a risk-mitigation tool that helps you buy smarter, walk away faster, and make more money.
Calculating eBay fees, shipping, and margins while you look up comps slows you down. This turns your phone into a profit engine.

Enter it once (say $1.99) or adjust per item. It carries across every scan.
Get instant results from live market data on the official eBay API.
A color-coded call, tuned to your own profit goals, so you decide in seconds.
The holy grail. Exceeds your top goal (over $40 net). Buy it.
Solid flips that build your bankroll (over $15 net). Your bread and butter.
Thin margin, or the market is flooded. Proceed with caution.
Loses money or misses your floor. Leave it and walk away.
We do not show you raw averages ruined by outliers. Median pricing finds the true middle-market value. Flood detection warns you when a market is oversaturated, so you avoid dead-pile inventory. And the app flags junk so you stop blowing cash on bad buys.

At a thrift store, the bins, or buying a whole collection, switch to Bulk Mode to scan entire lots in seconds. The app tracks your total projected profit and calculates a Max Cash Offer, so you can negotiate a winning deal on the spot.

The difference is deciding, not just researching.
| What you get | Junk or Gem | Typical scanner app |
|---|---|---|
| Real net profit, after fees and cost | Yes | Shows raw price |
| A clear buy or walk verdict | Yes | You do the math |
| Median pricing (outlier-proof) | Yes | Raw averages |
| Flood detection for oversupply | Yes | No |

| No account, no data selling | Yes | Varies |
| Price | $5.99/mo | Often more |
Unlike apps bloated with features you do not need, that scrape data without eBay's permission and crash constantly, Junk or Gem includes only what matters and runs 100% on the official eBay API. Fast, ethical, and it will not get you banned.
Watch a scan go from barcode to verdict in seconds.
Junk or Gem was built by Anthony Neely, Ph.D., who got tired of standing in the aisle doing fee math in his head and guessing whether a find was worth it. So he built the tool he wanted: one that does the math and just tells you.
Tony is also the founder of EvalScribe. You can find more of his work at anthonydneely.com.
