Yahoo! Auctions Japan Sold Prices — Median, Range, Bids

What it does: Looks up ended auctions on Yahoo! Auctions Japan for your keyword and returns a one-line sold-price summary (only auctions that actually sold count).

You enter: keywords, e.g. ポケモンカード リザードン psa10 (Japanese works best; brand names like Leica M6 also work)

You get: median sold price, middle 50% range, lowest–highest, average, bid count (median and range), number of auctions found — in yen and US dollars. Plus each sold auction (title, final price, bids, condition, end time, URL).

Price: $0.02 per keyword, plus $0.002 per individual sold auction (on by default — turn off Include individual auctions to pay $0.02 only). No results = no charge.

Example: enter ポケモンカード リザードン psa10 → median ¥24,800 · range ¥1,200–158,000 · typically 3 bids · 4,879 auctions found

Why closed auctions?

Yahoo! Auctions (ヤフオク) is Japan's biggest auction marketplace and the country's deepest source of collectibles, retro games, camera gear, watches, and trading cards. Its closed-auction data is the ground truth of what Japanese buyers really pay — but it's only browsable in Japanese, one page at a time. This Actor turns it into structured market intelligence:

• Price a collection before you buy or sell — median and quartiles from real final prices
• Measure competition — bid-count statistics show how contested an item is
• Spot arbitrage — compare Japan sold prices against eBay/your local market (USD conversion included)
• Cross-check Mercari comps — pairs perfectly with our Mercari Japan Price Checker

Use with AI agents

Works out of the box with the Apify MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT, and other MCP-enabled agents can check Japanese auction prices autonomously — for example inside an automated sourcing or repricing workflow.

If something goes wrong

• You never get a fake "empty" result. If the site can't be read, the run fails and says so.
• No results = no charge. You only pay for results you actually get.
• Checked every week. An automatic test runs this tool weekly; if the site changes, I fix it.
• Public pages only. No login, no personal data, and it goes easy on the site.
