Hey Product Hunt,
I'm the solo builder behind ScrapScout — built out of a barn in Junction, Texas after watching too many scrappers, pickers, and estate-haulers get lowballed because they had no clue what their load was actually worth.
The whole scrap and salvage world runs on information asymmetry. The buyer knows the price. You don't. ScrapScout closes that gap.
Point your phone at any pile of stuff and the AI:
- IDs every material (metal, electronics, appliances, furniture, salvage)
- Pulls live eBay comps + local yard prices
- Maps the highest-paying buyer near you
- Negotiates the deal when someone tries to lowball
- Builds your full inventory from one photo
- Runs offline (because cell service at most yards is a joke)
No app store. No hardware. Free to start, with a $99 lifetime tier for the first 100 founders.
Would love your honest feedback — what's missing, what should v2 do, and what's the worst lowball you've ever taken? Roast me, suggest features, share your wildest haul. I'm here all day.
