👋 Welcome to Prowl
Free — 24 vintage marketplaces, one screen. Including the ones Google can't search.
  • Tap any term to search the marketplace you're on.
  • ☰ menu (top-left) switches between all 24 marketplaces.
  • Tap the ★ star on a term to add it to your Hot List and one-tap Daily Prowl.
  • Search All opens every marketplace — on phones it steps through them one tap at a time (no pop-up blocking); on desktop it opens them all as tabs.
  • 🎤 / 📷 next to the search box: speak a term, or snap a photo and send it to Google Lens or eBay to identify a piece.
  • Price Check opens eBay Sold — what pieces actually sold for in the last 90 days. For rare pieces, the 3-year deep comps button digs further back.
  • Long-press a term (or right-click on a computer) to add notes, your max price, or log a find — your 🏆 Finds log lives in the ☰ menu.
  • Terms with a 📖 badge have a collector guide — tap the badge (or long-press / right-click the term) to read how to spot the real thing.

Why can't I find vintage on Google?

Because most of it isn't there. Goodwill's auction site and Facebook Marketplace sit behind logins and scripts that Google doesn't index. Search "Roseville jardiniere" and you'll get eBay, Etsy, and a wall of Pinterest — you won't get the one sitting at $18 on shopgoodwill right now.

Prowl runs your search across 24 vintage marketplaces at once — including the ones Google skips. Free, no account, built by a collector who got tired of typing the same search into eight sites every morning.

How collectors use it

  • Your grail list — save the pieces you've hunted for years. Prowl remembers them and keeps them one tap away.
  • Search All — one term, every marketplace, including the ones Google can't reach.
  • Price Check — one tap, one tab: what pieces actually sold for on eBay in the last 90 days. Real prices, not asking prices. For rare pieces that trade twice a year, one more tap opens three years of deep comps.
  • Near Me — antique shops, estate sales, garage sales and auction maps around you. One tap, no typing.
  • Books & paper — AbeBooks, ThriftBooks and Biblio for first editions, signed copies and ephemera. Use the Books Quick Pick in Search All.
  • No account, no email, no fee — your list stays on your device.

Hunting something specific?

We might already have it. Everything Prowl catches for us ends up here — pottery, art glass, mid-century decor.

Is Prowl free?

Yes. No account. Your search list stays on your device.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. Built mobile-first. Add to home screen. Allow pop-ups.

How does Price Check work?

One tap opens eBay's sold listings for your term — actual sale prices from the last 90 days, the most accurate read on what a piece is worth right now. Asking prices lie; sold prices don't.

What if nothing sold in 90 days?

That happens with genuinely rare pieces. Price Check has a second button for three years of deep comps via eBay's Terapeak research — free with any eBay account. Open it in your browser rather than the eBay app, or the date range gets dropped.
