Testing offer: start with 100 free credits. No card required.
Keep hunting from £10 a month for 200 credits. Choose £25 for 510 credits (including 10 bonus), or £50 for 1,050 credits (including 50 bonus). Credits arrive after each successful payment. Unused credits roll over, so a quiet month never wastes your stash.
Need more before your next renewal? While your plan is active, choose a top-up of 200, 400, 600 or 1,000 credits at 5p per credit. Top-ups are one-off purchases, never automatic.
Quick Scan uses 1 credit (5p). Detailed Scan uses 5 credits (25p) for up to three photos of one item.

A few good
questions.
Can you sniff out the sales near me?
Yes. Add your UK postcode, choose a distance and pick car boot sales, antique fairs or both. Opt in and confirm your email, and we’ll give you a heads-up seven days before matching events in our growing directory. It’s free to set up, and you can pause or unsubscribe whenever you like. Set up your local sale reminders.
How do the 100 free credits work?
While we test Bargain Bandit, create a new account and we add 100 free credits. Use them across Quick Scan (1 credit), Detailed Scan (5 credits) and Art Scan (20 credits). No card or purchase is required, and signing up does not start a subscription. The welcome offer is once per new account. If you want to keep hunting, choose a monthly plan from £10 when you are ready.
How do the monthly plans work?
Choose £10 for 200 credits, £25 for 510 credits (10 bonus), or £50 for 1,050 credits (50 bonus). You pay when you subscribe and every month until you cancel. Each successful payment adds your plan’s credits to your existing balance. Unused credits roll over; your balance is never reset at renewal. Quick Scan uses 1 credit and Detailed Scan uses 5.
What if I run out before the next month?
While your monthly plan is active, you can buy 200 credits for £10, 400 for £20, 600 for £30 or 1,000 for £50. Each top-up is a separate one-off purchase that you choose yourself. It does not change your renewal date or automatically repeat.
What happens if I cancel?
Cancel through Manage subscription in My credits. Cancellation stops future renewals. You keep your unused paid credits and can continue using them without an active subscription. Your saved finds stay in your account too.
Can I value my own photos yet?
Yes. Use Quick Scan for one photo, or Detailed Scan for up to three photos of the same item. You get a guide price, buying checks and similar items to help with your research. You can also explore the sample without using credits.
Is a valuation a guaranteed selling price?
No. It’s a guide. Condition, authenticity, demand and the exact model all affect what an item sells for. Check completed sales and test the item before buying. For valuable or specialist items, get an expert opinion.
Will it work on my phone and computer?
Yes. The layout adapts to both. Sign in with the same account to keep your saved finds and credit balance together. The home-screen icon is an optional shortcut on your phone.
What happens if an item can’t be valued?
All credits used for the scan are returned if there isn’t enough evidence to provide a valuation, or if the request fails.
