What is this?

A public database of second-hand synthesizer prices, built from real listings.

We monitor public listings on Hispasonic, Noiz, Soundsmarket and Audiofanzine, and integrate selected listings from eBay daily, normalise every listing with a machine learning classifier, and compute percentile statistics (P25/P50/P75) from thousands of real transactions. The result is a continuously updated, open dataset on what synthesizers actually sell for in European markets.

All data is published under CC-BY-4.0 — use it, share it, build with it. No paywall, no API key required.

P25 / P50 / P75
Robust price distribution from real listings — not averages, not estimates.
Price trends
Historical price evolution per model, updated every hour from live listings.
Market velocity
How many units are listed, how fast they sell, how scarce a model is.
Demand signals

Full methodology docs
How we scrape, normalise, classify and compute statistics — documented, reproducible, auditable.

Transparent by design

Every number on this site can be traced back to a real listing.

🕷️

Ethical scraping

We crawl public marketplace listings with respectful rate limits and full robots.txt compliance. We collect only publicly visible listing data — titles, prices, dates, condition. No personal data is stored beyond what is in the public listing.

🤖

ML classification

Every listing is classified automatically — instrument vs accessory, canonical model name extraction, condition normalisation. The classifier is trained on thousands of annotated listings and continuously reviewed for accuracy.

📊

Percentile statistics

Fair prices are computed as P25/P50/P75 percentiles across all active and recent listings per canonical model. Minimum 5 data points required for a stable estimate. Percentiles resist outliers and inflated asking prices better than averages.
