Help & FAQ

What is Liqd?

Liqd helps you know what you own and decide what’s next. Snap a photo or search for an item to see what it’s worth, then decide: keep it, sell it, donate it, or document it for insurance. You can also add anything manually. Your Vault is yours.

What does Liqd work best for?

Liqd’s marketplace data is richest for items with lots of comparable listings online (electronics, sneakers, gaming gear, trading cards, comics, collectibles, watches, and brand-name items). For these, you’ll get the most accurate automatic valuations.

For anything else (furniture, household goods, antiques, family heirlooms), you can add items manually with your own value or notes. Liqd works for whatever you own, not just what you might sell.

Can I use Liqd for insurance or donation records?

Yes. Many users build their Vault for reasons beyond selling:

Whatever your reason, the workflow is the same: add items, see values, make decisions.

Tips for the best results

Be specific. "Air Jordan 1 Retro High" beats "Air Jordan 1." "iPhone 14 Pro 256GB" beats "iPhone."

Include the model name, size, version, or year when relevant. If you're searching for a sealed product (like a Pokemon booster box), say "sealed" or "booster box." The more your search matches the way listings are titled, the tighter the answer.

Adding manually? Use the description field for anything specific (model number, condition, year) so it’s there when you need it later.

What do the confidence labels mean?

When Liqd has lots of similar listings with tight pricing, you'll see a clear estimated value with a High or Medium Confidence label.

Wide price range means there are many matches but the prices vary widely, usually because the search is too broad (e.g., "iPhone" covers everything from old iPhone 6s to brand-new Pro Maxes). Try a more specific search to narrow it down.

Limited matches found means there weren't enough close matches to give you a reliable number, usually because the item is niche, rare, or one-of-a-kind. The matches that did show up are still visible below, so you can decide if they're relevant.

How accurate are the values?

The estimates are based on what items like yours are actively listed for in marketplaces today. They're a real signal, but not a guaranteed sale price. What something actually sells for can differ from what it's listed for. Treat the numbers as a snapshot, not gospel.

For high-value items, it's always worth cross-checking with another source before making a decision.

For items you value yourself, the number is as accurate as your judgment. Keep notes on how you arrived at it if you might need to defend it (for insurance or taxes).

Why doesn't Liqd handle vehicles?

Cars, trucks, and motorcycles have their own well-developed valuation tools (Kelley Blue Book, Edmunds, Carfax) that account for things Liqd doesn't capture (mileage, accident history, location, trim level). Rather than give you a misleading number, Liqd points you to those when you scan a vehicle.

Same approach for fine art, jewelry over a few hundred dollars, and real estate. Those need specialists, not pattern matching. That said, you can still record any of these manually in your Vault for documentation or estate purposes. Liqd just won’t generate a marketplace value for them.
