I lost 50+ Vinted deals because I was checking Google Lens. So I built the fix.
I've been doing buy-resell on Vinted as a side thing for a couple years. Used alert bots — V-Tools, Souk, etc. — to catch listings fast.
The problem was always the same. Alert comes in, item looks promising, I have no idea if it's actually underpriced. So I check Google Lens, look at recent sold comps on Depop or eBay. 30-45 seconds.
Item's gone.
Tried buying faster. Tried buying blind and checking after. Neither worked.
So I built Scoutivex. The value check happens before the alert fires — by the time you see it, the system already pulled recent comps and estimated the margin. Something like "Nike Dunk, €45, resells around €120, rough margin €75." Decision in a few seconds.
It's live at scoutivex.com. There are paying users. Still early.
What I'm genuinely trying to figure out: does "alert bot + automatic value check" actually land as a concept? The pain point seems real when I talk to resellers, but I'm not sure I'm framing it right. Would appreciate honest feedback from anyone who does this stuff.
I know a couple of online arbitrageurs and resellers who manually check item value, and they'd probably be willing to answer your questions for free. Happy to pass your questions along if you'd like.
