Three steps from a photo
- 1
Photograph it
Take a clear photo of the item, including labels, marks or the back when those help.
- 2
AI identifies it
Look up mode reads the photo and suggests a name, category and the details that usually matter.
- 3
Estimated value and listings
See an estimated value beside live marketplace ads. Open a listing when you want to compare.
What people usually want valued
The same photo flow works across collections. Start with the kind of thing in front of you.
Watches
A wristwatch, a pocket watch or the one that sat in a drawer for years. Photograph the dial and any markings on the case back.
Art and paintings
A painting, a print or a framed piece you inherited. Photograph the front and any signature, stamp or label on the reverse.
Stamps
Album pages, loose stamps or a box from a relative. A clear photo is enough to start a stamp record.
Coins
A single coin or a tray from a cabinet. Photograph both sides so the estimate can use the right type.
Vinyl and records
An LP, a 7-inch or a shelf you have not catalogued yet. The sleeve and label are usually enough to start.
An estate or family home
A room, a drawer or a box of mixed things. Photograph item by item, then sit down together with the same list.
Questions before you open the app
How do I get an estimate from a photo?
Open Look up mode, photograph the item and review the name and details samla.ai suggests. The estimate and marketplace listings appear on the same screen.
What can I value in samla.ai?
Watches, paintings, stamps, coins, vinyl and everyday household finds all go through the same photo flow. Mixed boxes from an estate work the same way: one photo per item.
What does the estimated value show?
A market snapshot from comparable listings and recent sales. Edition, condition, demand and where you sell still change what someone will pay.
Can I list the item after I value it?
Yes. The same photos and details become a listing draft for a supported marketplace, including eBay where it is available.
Is samla.ai free to try?
Yes. The app is free on iPhone and Android, in 12 languages.
