Mercari Sold Comps Scraper - Real Sold Prices, Not Asking Prices

Know what items actually sold for on Mercari before you buy or list.

This Actor searches Mercari sold listings for any keyword or brand, pulls each sold comp (sold price, original price, discount, brand, size, condition, URL), and rolls them into reseller pricing intelligence: median / average / min / max sold price and a suggested max buy price - exported as CSV or JSON. Sold comps tell you the truth; active asking prices do not.

✅ What you get / ❌ what this isn't

✅ This Actor gives you	❌ This Actor is not
Confirmed sold comps with real sold prices	Not a list of optimistic active asking prices
Median / average / min / max sold price per query	Not raw listings you still have to do math on
A suggested max buy price for your target margin	Not after-fee net proceeds
Brand, size, condition, discount, and URL per comp	Not private account or buyer data

🔎 Why use this Actor

• Get real sold prices, not optimistic active listings.
• See median, average, min, and max sold price for any query in one summary row.
• Get a suggested max buy price so you protect your margin at the source.
• Every comp includes brand, size, condition, and discount off original.
• Export CSV-ready data for sourcing spreadsheets, Whatnot prep, or accounting.
• No login required.

👥 Who it's for

Resellers and flippers who need to know resale value before they spend. Common jobs:

• Decide what to pay at a thrift store, estate sale, or wholesale lot.
• Price your own Mercari listings against what comparable items actually sold for.
• Compare resale value across brands and sizes before sourcing.
• Build a sourcing cheat sheet of median resale values by keyword.

5. Optionally pass queries to run several searches in one go.
6. Click Start.
7. Download the dataset as CSV, JSON, or Excel, or pull it from the Apify API.

💵 How much does it cost?

You pay per result row plus Apify platform usage. A 100-comp query is cheap and fast. Cost scales with maxResults and the number of queries you batch into one run.

🔁 Run it on the Apify platform

Schedule recurring price checks, call it from the Apify API, export to CSV/JSON/Excel, or wire it into Make, Zapier, or webhooks to keep a sourcing sheet current.

⚠️ Limits and caveats

• Reads only public Mercari sold-listing data.
• A few queries with very few sales may return a small comp count; the summary is honest about soldCompsFound.
• suggestedMaxBuyPrice ignores marketplace fees, shipping, and condition. Treat it as a starting point, not advice.
