How Junkie works
Snap a photo, and Junkie identifies it, checks what it's really sold for and writes the listing for you. Selling your own things is free, and you keep every dollar of the sale.
From photo to listing
Listing credits, and why they cost
Every time Junkie writes a listing, it runs a top-tier AI model over your photos and does live web searches for sold prices. We pay for each of those, every time, so the helper uses credits. Everyone gets 5 free to try it out. After that it's 1 credit for a standard listing, which works out at 15c to 25c depending on the pack. We've priced credits close to what each run costs us, not to make a profit on them.
| Type | Credits | What it does | Best for | How long |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 1 | Identifies it and checks a few recent sales | Most things: homewares, records, clothing, everyday collectables | About a minute |
| Deep research | 3 | Our most capable model, closer study of marks and dating, twice the searching | Valuable or tricky pieces where the right price really matters | A couple of minutes |
| Bulk upload | 1 | Same write-up as standard, queued and run as a batch, which halves our cost | A pile of similar things, like a box of cards or a shelf of records (up to 100 at once) | Ready within a few hours |
What it costs to buy and sell
No listing fees and no success fees. Here's everything Junkie charges for, and who pays it.
Shop plans
For op shops, dealers and makers with a shop. Personal selling never needs a plan.
All prices are in New Zealand dollars and include GST where it applies.
Questions
Do I have to use credits to sell?
No. Tap “Skip the helper and write it myself” on the sell page and you can list anything for free, as many times as you like. Credits are only for when Junkie does the work.
What if it gets it wrong or fails?
If the helper can't finish, the credit goes straight back to you. If it finishes but you don't agree with it, change anything you like before you publish. You're always the one who hits publish.
Do credits expire?
No. Use them whenever you like.
Do you keep my photos for anything else?
Your photos are sent to our AI provider only to write your listing, and aren't used to train AI models. See our privacy page for the details.
Why not just make it free?
We'd love to, but every run costs us real money, and free-for-all would mean bots and bulk sellers running it thousands of times. Five free tries, then a few cents a listing, keeps it fair and keeps Junkie running.
