GearProof

GearProof is a mobile + web marketplace add-on focused on the hardest part of secondhand outdoor gear: trust. Sellers list items with a guided “proof pack” (serial/label capture, close-up wear photos, short function checks). Buyers get a standardized condition score, expected lifespan estimate, and a fair-price range based on real comps—not wishful listings. The AI helps sellers create accurate listings and flags likely misrepresentation (e.g., mismatched model years, suspicious photos), but the core is a repeatable inspection checklist that reduces disputes. The app also supports local meetups with a 5-minute in-person verification flow and escrow-style release after buyer confirmation. This is not another generic resale feed; it’s a trust layer for high-risk categories like skis, avalanche gear, climbing hardware, and bike components where condition and safety matter.
