Mecum Scraper [$5/1K💰] | Barrett-Jackson | Sold Prices

Mecum Scraper

Scrape Mecum Auctions and Barrett-Jackson collector-car lots — VINs, engine and transmission, estimates, hammer prices, sale dates and photo galleries — from both auction houses into one clean dataset.

Build A Collector-Car Comparable-Sales Database

• Build a comparable-sales database across Mecum and Barrett-Jackson in one run
• Track hammer prices, estimates and sell-through by make, model or auction event
• Value a classic car with real auction results instead of asking prices
• Monitor upcoming catalogues and no-reserve lots before the sale
• Feed dealer pricing, insurer underwriting or marketplace inventory models

How It Works

The Actor collects publicly available collector-car auction lots from Mecum and Barrett-Jackson and normalizes them into one schema. Choose an auction house, event and lot type; it reads the published catalogue and results, then writes one row per lot.

• source selects Mecum, Barrett-Jackson or both.
• mode switches Barrett-Jackson between completed results and the upcoming docket.
• auctionSlug and eventSlug narrow the run to one event; soldOnly keeps only sold lots.

Each row is one auction lot with vehicle identity, VIN, drivetrain, mileage, colours, estimate range, high bid, hammer price, reserve status, sale date, event, venue and photo gallery. Export the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it through the Apify API.

Scrape Mecum And Barrett-Jackson Auction Results

source selects the auction house:

• mecum — Mecum catalogue and published results.
• barrett-jackson — completed sales or the upcoming catalogue.
• both — both houses in one job and a shared maxItems budget.

mode applies to Barrett-Jackson only: results returns completed auctions with sold prices, docket returns the upcoming catalogue. Mecum lots always come from the live catalogue plus published results.

Track Hammer Prices, Estimates And Sell-Through

Every lot carries the numbers needed for market analysis:

• estimateLow / estimateHigh — the pre-sale estimate range in USD when the source publishes one
• highBid — the highest live bid, when the source exposes it
• soldPrice — the hammer/sold price published by the source; it is not recalculated and buyer-premium treatment is not normalized
• reserve — reserve status such as No Reserve
• lotStatus — sold, unsold, withdrawn, upcoming, bid_goes_on or unknown
• saleResult — the raw sale-result label from the source

Mecum estimates are only present on lots that carry them, so many rows have null. Barrett-Jackson does not publish a pre-sale estimate or live high bid, so those fields are null for B-J lots while soldPrice and reserve are populated.

Filter By Event, Lot Type Or Sold Status

• auctionSlug limits Mecum to one event, e.g. dallas-fort-worth-2026, kissimmee-2027 or las-vegas-2026.
• eventSlug limits Barrett-Jackson to one event, e.g. scottsdale-2025.
• eventCount (1–10) controls how many recent Barrett-Jackson events are scraped when no eventSlug is given.
• lotType accepts auto, motorcycle, road-art or all; auto covers collector cars and trucks.
• soldOnly keeps only lots with a hammer/sold price.

Schedule Auction Monitoring And Export Results

• Weekly price tracking — re-run after each auction weekend and diff soldPrice against your last snapshot.
• Pre-sale shortlisting — use mode: "docket" for Barrett-Jackson and the Mecum catalogue to review no-reserve lots before bidding.
• Webhooks and integrations — the Apify API, webhooks, Zapier and Make can push new rows to Google Sheets, Airtable, a CRM or a pricing model.
• Scheduling — a weekly run during auction season keeps a comparable-sales table current without manual exports.

FAQ

Why use this Actor instead of the official Mecum or Barrett-Jackson API?

Neither auction house offers a public, documented lot feed for third-party data teams. This Actor collects the same publicly visible lot data their websites show, normalizes both into one schema, and adds pagination, event discovery and image handling. You get one dataset instead of two integrations.

What are the alternatives to this Actor?

For Mecum only, growth-installations/mecum-auctions-scraper covers lots and results. For other marketplaces, Bring a Trailer, CLASSIC.COM, Collecting Cars and Car and Classic Actors cover different slices of the collector-car market. This Actor is the one that combines Mecum and Barrett-Jackson in a single run.

Does this Actor include buyer's premium in sold prices?

soldPrice is the value the source publishes. The Actor does not add or remove buyer premiums, taxes or fees, and premium treatment is not normalized. Verify the convention on the lot page when it matters.

Can I scrape one auction event only?

Yes. Set auctionSlug for Mecum or eventSlug for Barrett-Jackson. When no slug is set, Mecum returns the newest lots across all auctions and Barrett-Jackson uses the newest event(s), controlled by eventCount.

Why are estimates or high bids null for some lots?

Mecum publishes estimates only on lots that carry them. Barrett-Jackson does not publish a pre-sale estimate or live high bid, so those fields stay null for B-J rows while soldPrice and reserve are populated. Barrett-Jackson mileage is parsed from the description when stated.

How fresh is the data?

Each run reads the live source at the moment it runs. Completed lots and upcoming catalogues change as auctions open and close, so schedule runs around auction dates if you need current prices.

Can I get a free preview?

Yes. Free Apify users receive the first 10 lots of a run; paying users receive the full maxItems allowance.

For AI Agents & LLM Apps

Returns collector-car auction lots from Mecum and Barrett-Jackson as one row per lot.

Minimal input:

{ "source": "mecum", "maxItems": 25 }

Both houses in one run:

{ "source": "both", "mode": "results", "maxItems": 100 }

Upcoming Barrett-Jackson catalogue only:

{ "source": "barrett-jackson", "mode": "docket", "eventCount": 2, "maxItems": 50 }

Output fields: source, itemId, lotNumber, title, year, make, model, trim, bodyType, vin, engine, transmission, mileage, mileageUnit, exteriorColor, interiorColor, estimateLow, estimateHigh, highBid, soldPrice, currency, reserve, saleDate, auctionEvent, auctionSlug, auctionLocation, lotStatus, saleResult, description, imageGallery, mainImage, lotUrl, scrapedAt.

Behaviors an agent should know:

• mode is ignored for Mecum; it only switches Barrett-Jackson between results and docket.
• With source: "both", maxItems is a shared budget; one house can consume it before the other starts.
• eventSlug overrides eventCount for Barrett-Jackson.
• estimateLow, estimateHigh and highBid are always null for Barrett-Jackson rows.
• maxImagesPerLot: 0 disables the gallery even when includeImages is true.
• Billing: $0.005 per lot plus the one-time Actor start event; free users are capped at 10 lots.
