Japan Used Kimono Market — Cross-Shop Price Comparison

Scrape and compare used kimono, obi, and accessories prices from Japan's largest kimono online marketplace.

This actor scrapes listings from multiple Japanese kimono marketplaces, focusing on バイセルオンライン (BuySell Online) and 着物ひととき (Hitotoki). It can also optionally target 京都きもの市場 (Kimono Ichiba) (note: that site is currently inaccessible from datacenter IPs and is disabled by default).

Why this is useful

• Resale arbitrage — Japanese used kimono are in high demand on eBay etc.; prices vary widely between domestic stores.
• Cross-shop price comparison — check price differences for the same brand / item in one dataset.
• Market trend monitoring — track price movement for specific types (訪問着, 振袖, 帯, 長襦袢).

Data source notes

• Kimono Ichiba (kimonoichiba.com): server‑side rendered product lists. Category 3002 covers used kimono (中古品・新古品). Pagination uses ?k_cid=3002/N. Optional — this source is currently blocked from Apify datacenter IPs (returns 403/202) and is therefore excluded from the default source list.
• BuySell Online (buysellonline.jp): 56,135+ items in kimono category (/c/kimono). Pagination uses ?page=N for category, and GoodsSearchList.html?keyword= for keyword search.
• 着物ひととき (hitotoki-online.com): makeshop-based shop selling second‑hand kimono. Pagination uses ?page=N on /view/category/all_items. Item cards are parsed from .item-name, .price, and .item-category elements.
• Only factual product information (name, price, condition, image, URL) is collected.
