CrowFlip Sourcing Scanner: understand BUY, GAMBLE or LEAVE
Last reviewed: 08/10/2026
Quick answer
CrowFlip separates product recognition from the business decision. AI identifies the product, model and condition. The market sample comes from active eBay asking prices. Profit, ROI and BUY / GAMBLE / LEAVE are then calculated deterministically from the available data.
What the range means
The range is not a claim about confirmed sold prices. Active listings show current seller asks, not necessarily what buyers actually paid. CrowFlip therefore provides a separate sold-items search for manual verification.
When GAMBLE appears
GAMBLE is used when evidence is weaker, for example low recognition confidence, a small market sample, or damaged/unknown condition.
Workflow
- Photograph the full item and model details.
- Enter the real buy price.
- Review profit, ROI, sample quality and condition together.
- For expensive or GAMBLE deals, manually verify sold eBay listings.
The scanner is a decision aid, not a guarantee of selling price, demand or profit.
