WorthpointReviews of worthpoint.com

I'm not a member of Worthpoint, I haven't used it or it's free trial at all. I have been reading many of the reviews to decide if I do want to use it. It seems most are either 4, 5 or 1. Most of the 1'a revolve around the free trial. Maybe they've changed it because of these complaints but it states right at the top of the picking subscription page, "WorthPoint Helps You Find the Value of Your Antiques & Collectibles. Get Started for FREE. Pick your product! Free for 7 days or 7 price lookups. You'll only be billed if you continue the service without cancelling." Seems clear to me. Also some complained that after several product searches a box popped up saying basically, "to subscribe click to activate you PAID membership" Hmmm. PAID. Wonder what that means?: Some also complained about poor customer service. Guess what? The customer is not always right and can be rude, disrespectful. If you are those things from the get go why are you surprised when a human being on the other end of the line is the same? You should never (in any situation for the most part) go into it angry. Take a few deep breaths and call when you've calmed down a little.

I like Worthpoint… a lot! The only negative, but an important one, is that most items have EBay as the referenced point for its value. Worthpoint should offer a broader array of references to get a better estimate of what items are worth.

Charged $19.99 in JULY, 2 days earlier charged $9.99, as I had been every month since 2008. Charged $19.99 again in Dec along with $9.99. Called 3x and finally told them to cancel both subscriptions. No sure that has happen yet.

Since they have updated the mobile app it has become much more stable and useful for on site lookups. Before that, it was only usable on a desktop. The site has helped me find and price some very unique items. I am hoping to see more improvements before my subscription expires.

As someone who has sold on eBay for almost 15 years, I have now used Worthpoint for about a year. Will list pro's and con's Pro's - 1) images. Most items can be found by looking. I have a lot of items that I cant find comps for and the visual side really helps. 2) Data - there is more data - I dont remember the number of years they have but it is many more than eBay. Again for unique things, this is invaluable. 3) Ability to sort - this is kind of pro and con as you can sort but not with as many options as ebay closed items Con's (note this is based on selling on eBay - NOT other platforms) - 1) the categories to me are not "natural" ie not what I think of when I want to search. This is especially critical in the CSA ie clothing and accessory category. It is called "textiles, clothing and accessories". So includes things like rugs, fabric, and quilts. The CSA need to be split out. 2) geared more toward "collectibles" than other. As with #2, this is geared more toward in my opinion antique and vintage hard goods collectors vs clothing and purse sellers. This may or may not be good based on your business 3) Sort is by only best match, price (high low) and sale date. Because some categories pull in data that is not applicable, these sorts can pull in too much data. Need some additional data fields to sort by 4) Visual vs data driven - I used to use Terapeak and I know that my observation was that they were much more data driven - ie you could pull what times were best for relisting. At the moment I cant afford both so for ME I like the visual for my current needs. But if you have a huge volume you really need more hard data and stats like percents sold, etc. Bottom line is its a good tool if you know the pros and cons and it works for what you sell

I had been a paying member about a year or so ago. The purpose of my initially using WorthPoint was to get the previously sold prices of numismatic items. Sure, they've got some, but using eBays' Sold and Completed Listings or other internet sites featuring Coins, Tokens, etc., was / is more effective than spending money on WorthPoint. Before canceling my subscription, I phoned them with numerous suggestions on how to improve only to be assured that they'd just completed negotiations with a "well known Numismatist" who'd be coming to work for them soon. But, mañana never seems to come! .... and I work too hard for my money, than to give it to them for "not much in return".
