tidaldreams | 654 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Website: https://mrzk.io/games/6602/ First of all, if you own this website and are a member of this forum, please reveal yourself because this thing is awesome! You can basically search for any game and it will show you all the past sales at HA with some nice visualizations. Haven't yet fully explored what other features it has. He has also provided the raw data file on his github so you can pivot it yourself. It goes up to Aug. 31, 2021 (so pretty recent), but not sure how often it will be updated. 2 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obnoxious | 107 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) The "population report" has inverted values for the X axis. In your screen capture it counts 1x 2.5 but it should be 1x9.8 Take this capture as an example. It clearly says there were sold 8x9.8 but it's being shown on the graph as 8x2.5 Awesome tool, btw Edited September 13, 2021 by obnoxious 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tetris | 3 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Very neat tool, though the data is incomplete; it lists the top result for Pokemon Red as $84,000, which is missing the record result of $132k from July 2021: https://comics.ha.com/itm/video-games/pokemon-red-version-wata-94-a-sealed-sandshrew-first-production-gb-nintendo-1998-usa/a/7261-28115.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515Â Â This result for $72k also appears to be missing:Â https://comics.ha.com/itm/video-games/pokemon-red-version-wata-94-a-sealed-sandshrew-first-production-gb-nintendo-1998-usa/a/7242-93055.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515Â Â All-in-all I think it's really cool, but probably not accurate enough at this time to really be used for serious price research.

Is it possible that these sales fell through and weren't paid for, and so wouldn't appear on the dataset? I mean, I have no idea, but it's the first thing that popped to mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3quit4s | 4,142 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 He had a new post saying it was updated in early July. He doesn’t actually actively scrape the site for data, from the git it looks like he pulls down a csv and then iterates through it with a 200 line python. Good stuff and nice to see someone take action against no pop reports from our favorite grading company.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take a look at this specific case and send a pull request if I find the time. The scraping code is actually pretty simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greennamek | 16 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Thanks for sharing, pretty cool site. If the tool could actively scrape the data it would be really awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarateBoy2k3 | 4 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Is there any way anyone can send me the raw data? I want to run my own analysis. I have already reached out to the website owner, but my skill set is limited to statistical analysis, and not the web scraping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The site owner shares the data on their github: https://github.com/marzukia/wata It's the CSV file "heritage_sales.csv". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tidaldreams | 654 Posted October 24, 2021 Author Share Posted October 24, 2021 Looks like the owner hasn't updated the file since I posted this. Maybe he gave up on this project Oh well, fun while it lasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
