Looking for a Terapeak Alternative? Pricing for Booths, Flea Markets and Estate Sales

Terapeak, now called Product Research inside eBay Seller Hub, is a free and genuinely useful tool if you sell on eBay. Where it falls short is everywhere else: it only knows eBay sold prices, you have to know what an item is before you can search for it, and an eBay price is not the price for a booth tag or an estate sale table. PocketPrice fills those gaps.

The quick answer

If you list mostly on eBay, keep using Product Research; it is free and the data is real. If you sell in person (antique booths, flea markets, estate sales) or you price items you can't name, PocketPrice is the better fit. Snap a photo and it identifies the piece and gives you one tag price calibrated to your region, your venue and today's market. It starts free with 15 lookups, and paid plans start at $4.99 a month. Plenty of sellers use both.

1. eBay prices are not booth prices

An eBay sold price includes a national pool of buyers, shipping and eBay's fees. That is the right number for an eBay listing and often the wrong one for a tag. Small, shippable collectibles tend to bring more online. Furniture, glassware and anything heavy or fragile often sells better in person, where nobody pays to ship it. PocketPrice asks how you sell and prices for that venue and for the buyers in your area.

2. You don't need to know what it is first

Product Research works from a search, so it helps most when you already know the maker, model or pattern. At an estate sale, the hard items are the ones you can't name: an unmarked pottery vase, a piece of furniture, a signed print. PocketPrice identifies the item from a photo, including maker's marks, patterns and era, and prices it in the same step.

3. An answer instead of a spreadsheet

Sold-listing research hands you dozens of results and leaves the judgment to you: which are really the same piece, in the same condition, recent enough to trust. PocketPrice does that weighing and gives you one price for the tag, a range, a confidence score and plain-English reasoning, so you can see why.

4. Pricing, inventory and tags in one place

Product Research stops at research. PocketPrice batch-prices up to 50 items at once, saves them to inventory, prints QR-coded price tags, reads your antique mall sales sheet, and tracks booth commission, markets and expenses.

When Terapeak is still the right tool

  • You sell mostly on eBay and want to check sell-through and listing prices there.
  • You are deciding which eBay category, title or format to use.
  • You already know exactly what the item is and just want eBay comps.

Try it on items you already know

The fastest test is to price ten things you have already sold. Start free, run your 15 lookups, and compare the numbers with what those pieces actually brought. No credit card needed.
