Provider: Yahoo Auctions #520

Yahoo Auctions is one of the most used auction sites in Japan. It's pretty much the only source of images for a huge amount of Japanese releases. I do acknowledge that it doesn't really fall under the conventional cover art providers but the stuff here can be classified as raw/unedited to be eligible for CAA and I would argue that getting accurate release credits from here is far more useful than nearly illegible 600 px scans from Discogs most of the times. These aren't going to make someone's personal library look nice but I do believe that these are very much worth archiving until someone can replace them with proper scans.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. I haven't yet decided what I'm going to do with marketplaces/auction sites (see #333 and https://community.metabrainz.org/t/ropdebees-userscripts-support-thread/551947/51) but once I do, I'll be sure to take a look at Yahoo Auctions as well.
