About kWIW

kWIW, short for "know what it's worth," is a pocket appraisal tool built for anyone who has ever picked up a mystery object and wondered if it was junk or a jackpot. Snap a single photo of almost anything — furniture, glassware, toys, tools, vintage clothing, art, or a family heirloom — and the app identifies the item, tells you its likely era and origin, explains its history, notes the condition details that matter to buyers, and suggests a realistic resale price range. Every appraisal is saved to your personal library so you can revisit it, rate whether the estimate felt right, and refine the numbers as you learn more.

kWIW is made for resellers, estate sale hunters, flea market pickers, and Marketplace flippers who need fast answers in the field rather than hours of research at a desk. Once the appraisal is done, kWIW drafts a ready-to-paste listing with a title, description, and suggested price so you can move the item from discovery to sale on Facebook Marketplace in minutes. It even handles the fun surprises: photograph a person's face and instead of a price you'll be reminded that some treasures are obviously priceless.

The app is built by Rich Keller, a web developer who spends weekends digging through estate sales and thrift stores just like you. You can learn more about Rich and his other projects at richkeller.com.
