Getting Started
TurnOver86 is an app for iOS and Android that expands resale access and simplifies decision by presenting choices for recommerce platforms. Try any item — artwork, furniture, electronics, collectibles, or apparel — take a photo and a couple minutes to discover a richly detailed evaluation with marketplace data and sold prices. A multistage investigation integrates second and third opinions and explains evidence for its conclusion. TurnOver links to 38+ resale or donation locations.
Onboarding launches on first use and walks you through it hands-on. The short version: (1) Photograph your item, or upload an existing photo. (2) Receive an appraisal with market comparisons and confidence ratings. (3) Choose from 38+ platforms to sell or donate, with direct links to list your item.
Yes. Choices include the in-app camera, your device's photo library, or cloud storage (iCloud, Google Drive, network).
Appraisals & Technology
We adapt cutting-edge technology to the art of appraisal, using a triple-team AI investigation (Gemini, Opus, GPT-5.4) for institutional-grade precision. Appraisals include detailed citations and confidence scores, with neutral recommendations across 38+ platforms.
About 90 seconds for a full appraisal — including where to sell, how to sell, what to expect, and saved scans for later review.
No — and neither can anyone else. We provide price ranges based on real market data. Actual prices depend on platform, condition, timing, and demand. Pricing is notoriously inconsistent and prone to fluctuate over time.
We 100% exclude and redirect users to experts for: real estate, automobiles, aquatic vessels, industrial vehicles, firearms, pharmaceuticals, wines/alcohol, and gemstones/precious metals.
Multiple items in one photo can dilute or confound results — the AI may be unsure which object is the focus. Sets are particularly tricky: chess sets, socket sets, tableware, and similar items may be incomplete and therefore worth less or nothing individually. Closed containers produce uncertain results — we appraise the container only. Gemstones and metals sometimes require additional tools for full authentication.

Miscellaneous
The term "86" is slang from popular culture about removing or replacing something — it's gone, no longer here. It's our nod to the art of letting go: the life cycle continues when something you valued gets into new hands. Resale is contributing to sustainability.
