Rinnet Japan Group Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture, President: Takeshi Kuroda), through its subsidiary Net Off Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Obu City, Aichi Prefecture, President: Katsuyuki Hoshino), which operates the hobby buyback service "Moetaku!", will begin offering its new feature "Image AI Appraisal" from Wednesday, April 15, 2026. This feature uses AI to identify products from photos taken with a smartphone and display the buyback price on the spot.
This function is the industry's first and domestically unique AI appraisal service for general users, comprehensively supporting the major hobby genres of "Pokemon Cards," "Figures," and "Plastic Models," which are experiencing rapid market expansion. *According to our research (as of April 2026, among major domestic buyback services)*
No app installation or membership registration is required, and anyone can use it for free.
■ Background of Development: Solving "Products with too similar names, making it hard to identify what I own."
In the markets for figures, plastic models, and trading cards, there are countless variations for the same character, such as "different poses," "different rarities," "different expressions," "limited editions," "reprints," and "with bonus items." Therefore, even when users have items they want to sell, the following issues frequently occurred:
1. Large number of search results for items with the same name
Searching by character name displays over several hundred candidates, making it difficult to visually identify the item you own from the list.
2. Difficulty in determining the official product name
Users don't know the official name, such as "XX Ver" or "XX Edition," and can't think of search terms.
Users have expressed concerns, saying, "I'm not sure which one is mine," and "I thought it was this one, but it turned out to be a different product," which makes them hesitate to apply.
The "Image AI Appraisal" offered this time solves the "limitations and effort of keyword search" with the power of AI.
Users do not need to enter any text. By simply photographing the target item with a smartphone camera, the AI identifies the product from its image features. It eliminates the stress of "not knowing the name" or "too many search results to choose from," providing an experience where anyone can instantly know the value of their hand without confusion.
■ "Image AI Appraisal" Service Overview
Simply photograph the target item with your smartphone camera from the "Moetaku!" website. (No need to download or install an app.)
The AI automatically identifies the product and displays the current buyback price instantly. If you agree with the displayed price, you can smoothly proceed to the buyback application (pickup request).
You can use the Image AI Appraisal for free here.
