In recent years, the reuse market, particularly for high-value luxury brand items and watches, has seen a growing demand for safety and security in transactions, as well as high quality and fair pricing.

"Yahoo! Auctions" has provided enjoyment and convenience unique to its service through its vast user base and auction mechanism.

Meanwhile, "MOLTS" has built its brand value as a specialized marketplace for the affluent and those interested in luxury goods.

By combining these two services, we will offer users the opportunity to acquire rare items, carefully selected by "MOLTS" and verified for trustworthiness, through "Yahoo! Auctions" with peace of mind and at satisfactory prices. We aim to create the enjoyment unique to reuse, such as "the possibility of encountering one-of-a-kind items," across both services.

The items to be auctioned in this project will be provided by "MOLTS"-approved sales partners who have agreed to participate: OKURA Co., Ltd., BuySell Technologies Inc., and Moonphase Co., Ltd. These are rare items with high value, further curated by "MOLTS." All items have undergone inspection and appraisal by "MOLTS' sales partners," allowing for more secure transactions. Auctions for all items will begin at 1 yen.
