The AI Price Tag: A New Era for Secondhand Shopping? The national chain Savers Value Village has announced that it's using artificial intelligence to price its goods, sparking controversy among second hand shoppers.
ThriftIQ, the AI platform at the center of this storm, promises to make pricing more objective and efficient by focusing solely on an item's brand name, combined with seasonality and sell through data.
Pricing used to be a subjective art in the thrift store world, with employees grading items based on condition and quality.
