Meet Prowl: The Free Tool That Searches 17 Vintage Marketplaces at Once
If you're a vintage reseller, you know the grind. You open eBay. Then Etsy. Then Facebook Marketplace. Then Chairish. Then Depop. Then Mercari. Then Vntg. Then… you get the picture.
Every marketplace has a different search bar, a different layout, and a different login wall. By the time you've checked them all, that diamond-in-the-rough piece is long gone.
There had to be a better way. So we built one.
Introducing Prowl — a free, mobile-first vintage sourcing tool that searches 17 marketplaces from a single screen. No account required. No subscriptions. No nonsense.
What Prowl Does
Prowl is exactly what it sounds like — it lets you prowl the entire vintage web without hopping between tabs. Type your search term once, and Prowl opens every marketplace at once.
Here's how resellers are using it:
🔍 Omni-Search
Enter one term — "vintage Pyrex," "mid-century armchair," "Levi's 501s" — and Prowl fires off that search across all 17 marketplaces simultaneously. What used to take 10 minutes now takes 10 seconds.
💰 Price Check with eBay Sold Comps
Pricing is the hardest part of reselling. Prowl shows you live prices from every marketplace alongside eBay sold comps — so you know instantly whether a find is worth flipping.
⭐ Hot List + Daily Prowl
See searches you run every day? Star them. Your Hot List keeps them all in one place. Tap once to run your entire Daily Prowl — every search, every marketplace, every morning.
🌎 Regional Sourcing
Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist are goldmines — but only if you're looking in the right cities. Prowl covers 10+ US cities so you can source from anywhere in the country.
🔒 Your List, Your Device
No account. No data collection. Your search list lives on your device. Close the tab and it's gone. Open it again and it's right where you left it.
Is Prowl Really Free?
Yes. No credit card. No "free trial" that turns into a $29/month charge. No sign-up. Just open and use it.
Does It Work on My Phone?
Prowl was built mobile-first — it works great on any smartphone. Add it to your home screen, allow pop-ups (that's how the marketplace tabs open), and you're off to the races.
We Use It Too
We don't just build tools — we're resellers ourselves. Everything Prowl catches ends up in our own shop. This isn't a side project; it's the tool we wished existed, so we made it.
