Congratulations to the WorthPoint tech team for completing a primary goal of 2023! The team operates seamlessly across three continents and has finished a core rebuild of our technology in just one year. This accomplishment includes great improvement in the iOS and Android apps, visual search recognition on the Price Guide app, a speed in the Vault’s Worthscore™ that is ten times faster, and the addition of OpenSearch for WorthPoint’s more than 750 million items and estimated 5 billion images.
WorthPoint is now becoming the standard for a significant portion of the resale industry with partners such as MaxSold, eBay, CTBids, and hundreds of other brick-and-mortar auction houses, with data going back to 1969.
Tour the site to see the impressive OpenSearch speed that rivals that of Muhammad Ali, who famously claimed he could be in bed before the lights went out after he switched them off at the doorway to his room. The catalogs had simply gotten too large to be efficiently served by SOLR, a software that much of the world utilizes.
These exciting developments will support the team in building out even more improvements to the apps and the WorthPoint Vault, as well as AI training in visual recognition, price indices, and the Worthscore™.
Will Seippel is the founder and CEO of WorthPoint. Will has been an avid collector since 1974 and dealer of just about all things antique—with an emphasis on ephemera—since 1984. He is also the creator and founder of HIP, a website devoted to recording the best of the world’s history that has been saved on film.
WorthPoint—Discover. Value. Preserve.
