Got a Broadway memorabilia, and other bits and bobs?

You can certainly sell them on eBay, and almost every other thing.

But it can be a problem when you’re not sure of what price to charge.

Luckily there are web-based tools that let you calculate price valuation for several items.

But, you don’t even need to use them, because you can do it all directly from your iPhone, courtesy of the newly released Online Auction Viewer .

This app works by searching recently sold items on eBay to calculate the average and more accurate than average price for the items searched.

How to use Online Auction Viewer for iPhone

After installing the app on your device, you’ll notice is quite simple to use. You start off by entering the name of the product in the search bar and then hit the small magnifying glass for the results.

A quick search returns you few categories matching your product, and you can select the category that is the closest to your product description. For example, searching iPhone 5c can give categories such as mobile phones and communications, home phones and accessories PDA and SIM cards and readers. Pick the best category to refine your results.

In the Settings menu, you can select a particular location to find out what will be the estimated value of the item in a particular country. Aside, you can change how many products you like the valuation to be compared to, sell as an auction or buy it now and what is the current condition of the item.

Online Auction viewer provides support for up to 1000 samples for more accuracy and supports eBay UK, France, Italy, Chile, Philippines, Malaysia, Netherlands, Spain and a few more.

Final thoughts

This app can give you an insight on how much money you can make selling an item, even before you sell it. Accurate valuation can also give you an edge over competitors by allowing you to set a lower profit margin initially, which you can increase later after building credibility. Sharing options include Facebook and Twitter.

You can download Online Auction Viewer for $0.99 from the App Store. Let us know if you give it a try and feel free to leave comments.
