Generally I was very happy with Worthpoint. Absolutely hate the app update. Too busy and does not fit well on screen. Hard to find what you need and I have to keep resigning in even though I click on quick sign in every time. Why do places change was not broken?

I've been buying storage units for 3 decades! I've learned I've given and thrown away stuff because it looked nasty or like junk to later find out it was worth thousands. Now, unless I KNOW the value, it goes to storage until it's researched. I needed something to expedite my process. YouTubers I watchED raved about Worthpoint so I tried it. I attempted to savor my trial to value items I was stuck on. I called and left a message I didn't understand how to use the markings lookup. No response. I didn't find any videos to assist. You have to provide a description of the mark. Then search will show you an image of marks that match your description, which I thought was great. BUT, If you don't know what the marking is or how to describe it, you can't search for it. Asian marks, forget about it. The reference books are wonderful, IF THEY ARE IN YOUR PERSONAL LIBRARY (IMO). I attempted to cancel before my trial was over because it was frustrating to search prices for items Google images could not find if I didn't know what the item was. IF the item IS in worthpoint google image would take me to it. Google image did most of the work. The few times that it did give me something useful it either showed me it last sold for several years ago for $X which ended up not really being useful, did that mean it was obsolete, rare, keywords were wrong, Or ebay is the wrong market? Or it showed me my items weren't selling for much. Worthpoint ate up A LOT OF MY TIME. The features, as-is, aren't worth the money unless you are an affiliate, IMHO. The 7 item value search trial was confusing because I wanted to the higher priced search version which includes maker mark searches. I was afraid to use my trial searches on the "wrong" keywords, so I don't think I used the 7, so I paid for 3-4 mos. I wish I had just sent an email to cancel during the trial, when I couldn't get the cancel button to work.

I had been thinking of getting Worthpoint for awhile to look up prices. I got sick and when I finally get online to use Worthpoint, I find out I need to upgrade my membership to see prices. Very disappointing.. I feel this membership is useless, as I refuse to pay more than the $19.99 Iam already paying. Very expensive for not being able to even see prices.. I immediately canceled my membership the same day it renewed. I would like my $19.99 back, as I will not be using this site again.. I never used it at all to begin with.. I feel this membership is deceitful and I feel they should warn you before they automatically renew and charge you $19.99 for a useless membership. I just read where legislation is trying to make this practice of setting ppl up for automatic renewal illegal.

Created an account with worthpoint to find the value of an item still unable to get the price cannot find my card number have registered so I re registered with a different card the same thing happens requested to submit again to view prices and now I don't know if I am being charged for two submissions after wanting a 7-day free trial worthpoint is saying I have an account bank details are not visible it's like I have submitted to two accounts have no access to prices and I don't know if I am being charged as I have tried for the whole 7-days to access and delete my card still asking me to submit my details

Useless most of the time but I still use it because there isn't a better alternative which there really needs to be. I sell things on ebay as a part time Income, and regularly run into things with no sold history, or a very limited sold history. For example I found a Swedish humming bird Chime carved out of wood today at goodwill with 1 that sold last December on ebay for $115 but nothing Shows up on Worthpoint so I have no way to know if the item was priced low. Many times ebay will show many recent sold listings for an item, but worthpoint will have very limited or no information going back years. Sometimes the pricing WP gives you is actually lower than the item is actually worth. Don't trust the pricing as I believe this information is less than 10% of what actually sold over the years. I'm convinced less than 10% of the completed listings on ebay are actually recorded. Kind of bs there isn't a better alternative for a paid service.

Can't speak for the experience if you're a paid member (I suppose professional collectors / traders of antiques), but whenever I look for any information on an item of some significant value this website immediately pops up in Google - and it's completely pointless, as it won't give you any useful information unless you pay...

Worthpoint has the potential to be an incredibly valuable resource. However, having been a paying subscriber for over a year I've learned that they are missing huge chunks of data. Take the keyword "Gunne Sax dress". According to eBay, 2-3 Gunne Sax dresses sell per day on average. There are over 1,000 sales of these dresses on eBay for the last three months. But if you search Gunne Sax dress on Worthpoint, it lists only one dress sold on eBay in all of 2019, the rest of the results are for patterns. As a seller of Gunne Sax dresses, I can say with absolute certainty that this is not correct. This problem is not limited to Gunne Sax dresses. In most of the searches I do data seems to be missing. I tried contacting the company three times without success. The first time customer service sent me a sarcastic reply dismissing my concern. The second time they told me the "data had not updated yet". The third time they told me they would look into it but never did. If you are using Worthpoint for price research, know that the information you get from this service will not be complete. I do hope they fix it at some point.

Ok. So was hunting for a rare book which had popped up on Worthpoint. Never heard of the company or its many bad reviews. The book details were there. But the sell date and cost are only revealed when you subscribe. Decided to use the seven day free trial. Only to discover the book was sold in 2011... well no harm done I thought. Least I know what it costs and that people sell it. Here’s where it gets tricky. They are very sneaky. 1. You have a 7 day free trial. But if you search more than 7 things your trial will automatically charge for the month. Yes they say that. But it’s very easy to gloss past that bit in the small print. 2. Also there are many buttons to accidentally end your free trial and get a full paid subscription. Some poor people have managed to select a yearly subscription. 3. If you want to delete your account be prepared for some googling, more googling and more googling! Lots of dead links on google. They know what they are doing. In the end after scanning the email to no avail, tried the trouble-shooting section. It’s maybe a little telling the how to delete your account is missing a sentence at the end. However managed to delete it finally. 4. Have taken a screen-grab of it as some people here have said they were charged unnecessarily and subscription hadn’t been cancelled. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen. It’s not all bad. Frankly a lot of people here are mad because they didn’t delete their account in 7 days. But that’s not the company’s fault. Also if you’re an eBay seller this would be very useful. But if you’re casually looking for one thing avoid!
