About Hammerprice

A market is a collection of decisions. Hammerprice is the attempt to put the evidence in front of yours — before you make it.

It started at an estate sale. I was standing over a mid-century walnut credenza with a $400 tag, phone in hand, trying to work out in three minutes whether it was worth $400, $1,200, or $50. Google gave me dealer-retail fantasies. ChatGPT gave me confident guesses with no sources. The auction databases wanted a subscription and twenty minutes I didn't have. The seller was already looking at the next person in line.

I wanted one thing: the actual evidence. Five real sold comps, linked to the places they sold, with enough context to tell me whether the piece in front of me matched the ones in the data.

Hammerprice is that tool. Upload a photo; we build a market research report from real sold listings, auction records, and specialist marketplace data — every number linked to the source it came from. If the evidence is thin, we say so. If it contradicts itself, we show you why. No dealer-markup anchoring. No "typically sells for." No hallucinated prices.

Who it's for
Estate-sale hunters negotiating in the driveway. Vintage dealers sizing up a new lot. Private collectors tracking value over time. Anyone who's ever stood in front of an unfamiliar piece and didn't want to trust a stranger's guess.

What it's not
An appraisal service. We don't issue legal opinions of value, certify provenance, or replace a USPAP-credentialed appraiser when one is required. We show you the market. You make the call.

Who built it
Aaron Broache — a machine learning engineer who spent too many Saturdays standing over furniture wondering if it was any good. Built in Los Angeles, running on Claude (Anthropic), Vercel, and a lot of caffeine.
