How it works

A plain-language guide to every number on this site.

Catalog columns

#Nendoroid release number — the official number printed on the box. Used as the primary identifier.

Ask (median)Middle price of all ask listings for this figure, across all dates in our database. Excludes condition-unknown listings and the figure's original retail price — aftermarket only.

Buyback bidHighest kaitori (buyback) price Mandarake has publicly listed for this figure. This is what they offer to pay when buying from sellers — not what they sell it for.

SpreadAsk median minus buyback bid, in JPY. The dealer margin: how much Mandarake makes between what they pay and what they charge. Lower = tighter market.

BB ratioBuyback bid as a percentage of the ask median. 80% means shops offer ¥800 for every ¥1,000 they ask. Higher = shops want this figure more and are willing to pay closer to the sale price.

ObservationsTotal number of price data points collected for this figure across all crawls, both ask and buyback.

Last seenMost recent date a listing for this figure appeared in a Mandarake search result.

Price history chart

Per-condition linesWhen condition data is available, each grade gets its own line (New, Like New, Grade A/B/C). These show the median ask price per day for that condition.

Ask (all)Aggregate median across all known conditions. Shown by default when no condition lines exist; can be toggled on alongside them.

Buyback bidDaily buyback price from kaitori listings. Dashed orange line. Seeing this track below the ask line is normal — that gap is the spread.

Click legendClick any label in the chart legend to show or hide that line.

Grade AAssembled figure, minor wear, no damage.

Data sources

Ask listingsMandarake secondhand search results, crawled daily. Prices are in JPY as listed. We store title and price only — no photos or descriptions.

Buyback listingsMandarake kaitori (buyback) price list — the prices Mandarake publicly advertises to pay when buying figures from sellers.

Crawl cadenceOnce per day, at around 4:30 AM UTC. Duplicate pages (unchanged since last crawl) are skipped.

Condition enrichmentMandarake search results don't always include condition grades. For listings without one, we fetch the item detail page to extract the grade.
