We’ve learned (via NeoFAG) that Amazon Japan now ships video games and video game consoles to overseas purchasers.
It’s worth pointing out that you can only import games and game consoles sold by Amazon, and not third party sellers. You should also keep in mind consoles and games that are region-free, while some platforms (mostly older consoles, or Nintendo-based ones) are region-locked.
You can create a Japanese Amazon account here.

No thanks.
But why is Japan so against export? A fuckton of stuff isn't available outside of it or has ridiculous shipping costs. Even Amazon JP is extremely limited. It feels like they never got over their XVIII century closed borders policy

It wasn't always like that. 30 years ago they were the kings of exportation.

They will never let us use the rz4 let's note either

I buy a fair amount of stuff from second hand sellers on amazon japan.
yahoo auctions is the real fucking bitch.
I'm guessing they're just afraid of fraud. yahoo still uses bank transfers as the main payment method
