Use Cases

• Audiophile price tracking — Monitor asking prices for specific equipment models across both markets to understand fair market value and price trends over time.
• Dealer and reseller sourcing — Identify underpriced listings for turnaround opportunities in the North American used hi-fi market.
• Market research — Analyze which brands, models, and equipment categories dominate the used market, and track condition distributions for pricing models.
• Price guides and valuation tools — Feed structured listing data into a valuation database to provide real-world pricing data for insurance, estate, and appraisal purposes.
• Inventory monitoring — Alert on new listings matching specific search criteria (e.g. McIntosh amplifiers, Klipsch speakers, vintage turntables) without manual daily checks.
• Academic and economic research — Study secondary market dynamics for consumer electronics and audio equipment as a proxy for disposable income and hobby spending patterns.

How It Works

The scraper crawls both sites' hardware and software classifieds pages using residential proxies (both sites block datacenter IPs). It discovers listings from the category index pages, then visits each detail page to extract the full listing data including price, condition, description, seller info, and photos.

Pagination is handled automatically — the scraper follows ?page=N links up to 50 pages per category. The maxItems cap stops the run early once enough listings have been collected.

Both sites share identical URL and HTML structure, built on the same classifieds platform.

Notes

• Price is extracted from the listing detail page's info table. Some listings may have no price (trade-only listings) — price will be null in those cases.
• manufacturer and model are null — they are not reliably parseable from free-text titles without an equipment database lookup. Extract them from title with your own logic.
• image_urls is a pipe (|) separated string of up to 20 image URLs per listing.
• Featured listings on the index page link via a redirect URL; the scraper follows these redirects automatically to reach the canonical detail page.
