Example prompts

Try with Gemini
I'll share photos or video frames from a thrift store. For each item you can identify, look up typical resale prices on [eBay, Etsy, or other sites] and tell me which ones are priced well below resale value. You are done when I have a ranked list of the best deals with the asking price, expected resale price, and your confidence for each.
