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?
Processing time varies with image size, connection, and service load. DrivewayGold is designed for use while scouting, but always review the suggested identity and value before making a buying decision.
What are BOLO brands?
BOLO stands for "Be On the Look Out." DrivewayGold can flag recognizable brands and categories that may deserve closer resale research. A flag is not authentication or proof of demand, condition, or value.
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?
The AI uses what it can identify in the image to produce a resale estimate. DrivewayGold does not currently retrieve live sold-comparable listings. Verify valuable finds against current sold data from the marketplace where you plan to sell, then account for condition, fees, shipping, returns, and local demand.
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.
