using photos to estimate an item’s value definitely has potential, especially with how far computer vision has come. That said, accuracy can vary a lot depending on image quality, item condition, and how well the model can match it with real market data. Tools in this space usually combine visual recognition with comparable sales data to give a rough estimate rather than an exact price , so I think combining this with additional metadata (like brand, age, or condition details) could really improve reliability. Overall, it’s a solid idea, just needs careful handling of edge cases.
