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.
