Hobby Buyback Service 'Moetaku!'s 'AI Image Appraisal' Feature Surpasses 1 Billion Yen in Total Scan Value Within One Month of Release

Netoff, Inc., a subsidiary of Renet Japan Group, has announced the results for its 'AI Image Appraisal' feature for its hobby buyback service, 'Moetaku!', which launched on April 15, 2026.

Within one month of release, the total number of scans reached approximately 65,000, with a cumulative scan value of 1.18445 billion yen. The improvement in the appraisal experience provided by this feature drove actual buyback applications, resulting in the highest monthly buyback amount since the service started in 2012.

Achievements and Usage Trends The convenience of 'no app required,' 'completely free,' and 'appraisal completed in an average of 5 seconds' has encouraged user activity, leading to the following results:

- Total scans: Approximately 65,000 / Scan value: 1.18445 billion yen

This new experience, which saves the trouble of searching and allows users to check the value of items on hand like a 'treasure hunt,' has been highly rated and utilized by many in a short period.

- Pokemon cards: Average of about 15 scans per person This eliminates the conventional work of searching by typing in names or model numbers one by one. Continuous scanning of an average of 15 items is becoming a routine, and the high 'time-performance' efficiency, which minimizes effort, is stimulating the need for bulk selling.

'AI Image Appraisal' Service Overview Simply take a picture of the target item with your smartphone camera from the Moetaku! website. No need to download or install an app.

AI automatically identifies the product and instantly displays the current buyback price. If you are satisfied with the presented price, you can proceed smoothly to the buyback application (collection request).

Service start date: April 15, 2026 (Wednesday) Usage fee: Free Target categories: Pokemon cards, figures, plastic models

Features: - Zero effort to identify items: AI identifies candidates from images. - Support for 3 genres simultaneously: No need to switch between screens when selling items together. - Price displayed in an average of 5 seconds: Real-time speed.

Future Developments Starting with the above three categories where demand is high, the target genres will be gradually expanded to include 'anime merchandise (keychains, pin badges, etc.)' and 'other trading cards' in the future.
