Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about using DrivewayGold for resale scouting and arbitrage.
How much does DrivewayGold cost?
DrivewayGold costs $10 per purchase, which includes 25 high-resolution image scans, unlimited AI-powered item identification, BOLO brand detection, and professional PDF & Excel reports. There is no subscription required—you only pay when you need more scans. Credits do not expire.
Can I use this at garage sales and estate sales?
Yes! DrivewayGold is specifically built for pickers and resellers. It identifies items, detects valuable "BOLO" (Be On the Look Out) brands, and provides estimated resale values. The profit calculator helps you see your potential margins after fees and shipping before you make a purchase.
How fast is the AI identification?
The AI processing takes only seconds per image. You can snap a photo of an item or a shelf of items, and the system identifies and values them almost instantly. It's designed to be used while you're actively scouting a sale so you can make quick buying decisions.
What are BOLO brands?
BOLO stands for "Be On the Look Out." These are specific brands or item categories that consistently command high resale prices or have strong demand in the secondary market. DrivewayGold maintains a curated database of these brands and automatically flags them when detected in your photos.
What file formats does DrivewayGold accept?
DrivewayGold accepts JPEG, PNG, and HEIC files. HEIC is the default format for newer iPhones, so you can upload photos directly from your camera roll at a sale without any conversion needed. Each image can be up to 20MB.
Where do the resale values come from?
Our AI analyzes current market data from various secondary marketplaces to provide fair market value estimates. These estimates reflect what similar items are currently selling for. Keep in mind that condition, marketplace fees, and local demand will affect your final net profit.
Is my scouting data private?
Absolutely. We know pickers value their sourcing secrets. Your photos, locations, and identified finds are only accessible to you. We never share your scouting data with third parties or other users.
Can I edit my scouting reports?
Yes. You can review every item the AI identifies, adjust the condition, input your actual "buy" price to see real profit margins, and add your own notes about the item or its source location.
Can I export my finds to Excel?
Yes! DrivewayGold provides a professional Excel (XLSX) export that includes all your finds, photos, brand info, and profit calculations. This is perfect for importing into your own inventory management system or tax tracking software.
Can I preview the structure before I buy?
Yes. Check out our sample report preview to see exactly how the identified items, BOLO flags, and profit calculations are presented.
