ExampleHow it works
Three steps. Zero guesswork.
No more “is this worth anything?” in the middle of a charity shop. Check first, then decide.
Snap or scan
Take a photo of the thing, or scan the barcode on a book, CD, DVD or game.

ExampleCondition grades
A, B or C. Be honest with yourself.
FlipSurf uses the same kind of A, B and C grades you’ll see with book buyers. Be honest about the condition, and remember each buyer will inspect the item themselves before they pay.
Like new
Barely used. No marks worth mentioning, and it all works.
Good
Used and looks it a little. Light wear, works properly.
Well loved
Obvious wear, scratches or marks, but still does the job.
Each buyer checks items against their own standards before they pay, so the final offer is always theirs to make.
UK first
Built for British bargain hunting.
Pounds, not dollars. UK buyers, UK marketplaces, UK high streets. Road-tested in East Croydon, made for car boots in Kent, markets in Manchester and charity shops everywhere in between.
