What "Rare" and "Legendary" Mean (and how items get tagged)

When the app analyzes a photo, it looks for signals of rarity:

• **Maker marks or signatures** — Pieces with an artist's name, maker's mark, or studio stamp
• **Production era** — Items from limited production runs or discontinued brands
• **Condition and completeness** — Original packaging, mint condition, all pieces intact
• **Collectibility** — Items known to collectors (vintage toys, limited-edition art, signed books)

If the app detects these signals, it might auto-tag the item as "Rare."

Accept the tag if:

• The item is genuinely hard to find
• You know collectors or enthusiasts search for this type of item
• The photo shows maker marks, signatures, or other authenticity markers
• The item is in excellent condition and complete

Change the tag if:

• The app over-tagged a common item (many figurines are tagged "Rare" when they're really just "Vintage")
• You know the item isn't actually rare in your market
• The condition is poor enough that the rarity appeal is diminished (a rare book with missing pages isn't worth much)

Remove the tag if:

• The app was wrong or you disagree
• It's a reproduction or knockoff (even if rare, copies are less valuable)

Shoppers searching "Rare collectibles" see tagged items first. If your item is genuinely rare, the tag helps the right buyers find it and bid higher. If the tag is wrong, you're overselling and shoppers feel misled.
