Are there people that would look for and sell rare arcade/computer parts to America? I've been in contact with a few ebay sellers but they don't seem to find much or wont look for stuff outside of console stuff.

>>4057104
I'm not incredibly knowledgeable about computer components but I could at least look for you.

What exactly are you interested in?

>>4057650
Preferably looking for ASUS and AOpen new old stock. Do you run into 90s era computer stuff or is it all newer?

Hey guy, I'm traveling to Japan right now, going to Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto; what are some shops to look out for?

>>4057709
You should go to Super Potato just to see, stuffs expensive there now, but it's one of the biggest stores there.

Akihabara is just a cool place to go. You'll inadvertently walk into an H-store and get weird looks from 50 year old business men buying futa VN's while you laugh with your buddy.

>>4057721
I'll be buying that futa with them

>>4057089
I'll be keeping you in my contacts for sure!

>>4057707
I will take pictures of the computer section the next time I'm in a secondhand store.

There's a fair amount of 90's stuff.

>>4057709
If you want a good price try secondhand chain stores like Hard Off, Book Off, Comp Off and 2nd Street.

>>4057721
>Haha..! Look, dude, she has a dick haha, that's so funny. I wonder who actually likes that stuff lmao... I think I'll buy it, just for laughs lol haha you know for a good laugh, it'd be so funny haha

>>4057871
We were just going around on the second or third floor and went into the shop and it was an H-shop,. Literally no indication it was a pornshop.

>thinking I hate Futa
I've been beating it to Bible Black for like 15 fucking years. It wasn't the fact it was futa, it was more so that there were dozens of salarymen in there buying porn nonchalantly.

>>4057089
Hi OP,

I'm looking for a Mega Drive, preferably a Mega Drive 2.
Have you seen any?
If so how much?

Thank you got your time!

I was going to post my stuff when I got my last package last week, but I haven't seen a new thread in a while. Thanks again, and I look forward to buying more stuff soon!

Hey, OP. I'm on the hunt for a Super Game Boy 2, so let me know if you see any.
Also, I'm after a Game Boy Light, preferably in translucent green although Gold/Silver is just fine too.

I don't think I can do this, but I'll try.
I'm trying to sell Guardian Heroes PAL version, and I want to know if anyone here is interested.

I live in Osaka but I go to Tokyo every once in a while.

Do you ever see any Dreamcast VS link cables?

The area around me is lousy with Sega Saturns but not Mega Drives for some reason. Usually, when I see a Mega Drive it's about 4800 or 5800 yen for the console with the cables and one or two controllers. You can see two in this pic.

If I can find one in the junk section I can probably get it for you much cheaper but I haven't seen any there so far.

>>4058568
Glad it arrived safely. Some anons have been getting their stuff delayed by customs but as far as I know everyone has gotten their package eventually.

>>4058712
I haven't seen any super Game Boy 2's lately but I'm on the lookout for them.

I didn't actually know about the Game Boy Light but I may have seen some without realizing it. As usual, I will post what I see.

I'm nowhere near fluent but I can handle daily life and do things like reschedule deliveries over the phone. I have to use Japanese when talking to the store clerks because they almost never speak English but even if you don't know any Japanese you could just tell them the name of what you want or show them a picture and they would probably understand you.

>>4058785
Here's an SGB2, the one with the sale tag.

>>4059062
Not yet unfortunately. That will go in hear threads as soon as I do.

For the anons that requested PS2s, I'm sorry about the wait. Like I mentioned in the OP I need to sort out something with PayPal so I can't drain my bank account too much right now. I should be able to pick some up by sometime next week.

>>4059297
I'm not a camera guy but I wouldn't be surprised if they were comparatively cheap, at least secondhand. There's a surplus of quality used electronics here.

>>4059384
We'll damn, guess I should check my own pics.

I took these in a hurry because I didn't have a lot of time so I may have missed plenty.

I could pick this SGB2 up if anon is interested at that price. I already got a request by email though so I want to do this first come first served.

>>4059396
I'd love to get it for that price, it works out to 2034JPY with your commission I believe.

Do you ever see Game and Watches? If so how do they tend to be priced? Would you be willing to post to the EU if you did?

>>4059405
Yeah, that's right as long as the price is before tax. I would guess shipping on that would be around ¥700-800 but I will k ow for sure once I weigh it.

>>4059410
I see them all the time. Prices vary from around ¥3000-6000 most of the time depending on the model. I can definitely post to the U.K. And have done so before. Which Game & Watches are you looking for?

>>4059512
Sorry, I meant "I can post to the EU."

Of course, I can post to the U.K. too but I wasn't trying to be cheeky.

Man, if you could ever find the expansion for Yooot Tower and rip it you'd be a legend to me, I been searching off and oon for it and can't seem to find a dump of it. The cutting room floor doesn't have any info on it lol.

Sounds great to me man, email me when you find the final cost.

>>4057089
You better show some prices of PC-88 and PC-98 games or I'm going to chimp out.

>>4059638
I post what I see. Recently I've found some MSX games but nothing for the PC 88 or 98.

>>4057089
would love to see any kirby merch/plushes you happen to run across anon

>>4059787
Japan is stuffed with Kirby mercy. I will post what I see the next time I'm out.

I wonder what are Japan's, not eBay, prices of WonderSwan games. In particular Klonoa but I am also thinking of Pocket Fighter, Guilty Gear, Final Fantasy 4, or Rockman & Forte before I take the Wonderswan plunge. Gotta justify a system purchase.

I'm looking for a WideBoy if you see one. It's an N64 cart that allows you to play GB games similar to how Super Gameboy worked. If you see one can you please post?

>>4058740
How much for the n64 blue?

>>4059387
That's too bad, but to be expected, the game is rare AF

Ah well, i'll keep my eyes on the thread just in case you ever do find it

>>4060003

Dont think you can find one in a shop

WAAAAAANT

>>4060168
About ¥5800 I think.

The issue is that due to the weight of everything plus the box it would need to go in two different boxes or it could be shipped altogether for one high price.

>>4060715
I can look for other things too. I just didn't want to get off topic in the thread since this is /vr/ not /jp/.

>>4061349
Ah ok, well could you look for the 2 things i asked for?

These shops seem very commercialized. Can you even find good deals?

>>4058740

>Akihabara is just a cool place to go. You'll inadvertently walk into an H-store and get weird looks from 50 year old business men buying futa VN's while you laugh with your buddy.
This is very true and very jarring at first. First floor: normal game store. Second floor: trading cards and figures. Third floor: suddenly, anime tits everywhere

>>4061359
Of course, I just didn't want people complaining about the thread getting derailed. If you have any other requests you can also send an email to vrjpnguy@gmail.

>>4061416
Maybe not good deals for Japan but definitely good deals by global standards. Keep in mind that most of these prices are after tax and these stores often have membership cards and regular sales.

I recently found an in box twin stick in the "junk" section for ¥300 and an orange GameCube for ¥500.

>>4061442
¥3800

>>4061443
It's like that in every big city for better or worse. Convenience stores keep the poem magazines on the rack next to the normal ones too. They just trust minors not to look at them. It isn't really an issue here.

>>4057089
I'm brazilian and even the cheapest 100 yen thing ends with additional 50 usd for shipping, and the exchange rates makes it cost like 200 BRL in the end. By getting stuff with you would that part be different?

>>4057089
use bitcoin

>>4061662
If it weighs more than 2000 grams the minimum shipping with tracking is ¥5000. Unfortunately, I can't do anything about that.

But one or two games would only be ¥700-¥800 for shipping unless they were something big like a Neo Geo AES cartridge.

>>4062052
I've never dealt with cryptos but I'm willing to learn about them. Would there be an advantage over "real" money? Sorry if that question sounds unbearably stupid but like I said, I don't know about them.

>>4057089
Just wanted to comment on what an awesome service you're doing for the /vr/ community.
I hope you make a successful business from this if that's what you're after.

>>4062231
Thanks, I'd like to help more but since I work full time I've been kind of slow getting back to some people and I apologize if it seems like I've forgotten anyone.

I guess it would be cool if this could be a business but to make enough money to subsist I would either have to start charging a much higher commission or ship hundreds of things every day. For now at least it's just good to know that I'm helping people out.

Any cool megaman games op? Or horror games? Need to start up my library again. Lost a few gems.

Thanks for helping anon, the show is airing in north America and Japan but not in my country. Previous seasons, when they did, a single beyblade could cost like 60usd.

Eyy, I know you. I'll alway's give your threads a bump

What are GBA Micros running over there?
I've been in love with the Famicom special edition for years.

>>4066074
Saw a few in box but they were up there (around ¥10000 I think).

A store nearby has a Famicom one right now but I don't know the price. I will have to take a look.

Quick PSA: I recently found some working Super Famicom's system only for ¥300 each. Most of them have minor to moderate yellowing but a couple look pretty good.

I also saw a lot of OG Famicoms for ¥300 but most of them were yellowed. If you're interested let me know.

>>4066053
Thanks, sorry I've been so slow lately. Summer break is coming soon so hopefully I can catch up then.

>>4066115
By the way, does anyone here have an interest in laserdiscs? I see them all the time for ¥100 each. They're big and heavy so shipping might be a pain but I'm just throwing it out there.

>>4066117
I'd be interested in anime laserdiscs, specifically in 80's anime.

>>4066125
Cool, I'll take pictures next time I'm there. They had Slayers, all of 08th MS Team, ZZ Gundam and Z Gundam I think. There were also some volumes of Nadesico and Zeiram the animation that I recall.

>>4058771
So those Gameboys are only 17 euros? Dang, that's half the price they ask one Ebay here in Europe. How much is it to import them from Japan (commission excluded)?

>>4066115
>some working Super Famicom's system only for ¥300 each

Even with shipping and your commission included that should be really cheap! Please reply to me if you still have any left and if you come back.

>>4066131
I'm not familiar with tariffs in Europe but assuming the weight is between 200 and 300 grams it should be ¥690 to ship one. Price comes from here: http://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/service/epacketlight_en.html

>>4066139
If I pack light shipping should be ¥1590. I also need to buy a box for ¥100.

Are Dreamcast BBAs cheap and readily available?

>>4066269
I haven't seen any but I don't think they would be too pricey. Maybe another Japanon in this thread has.

>>4066196
How much are Gamecube Controllers?

I need a few. They're about 20 bucks CAD on eBay shipped, can you get them cheaper?

>>4066324
Most near me are ¥2480 right now unfortunately but one store had a couple for ¥1580. Rarely I will see them in the junk section for ¥980 but they need cleaning and might have loose sticks.

Been to super potato yet?

Took a trip earlier this year to Japan and made that pne of my destinations. it was awesome.

I don't want to buy it, but if you personally are on the look out for this and/or manage to find the original official (i.e. not the version with those three faggots from famitsu or whatever) famicom guide book of Dragon Quest II, please scan that shit. Or just scan the pages with Princess of Moonbrooke art. Either way, I can't find the damn thing online anywhere, despite finding scans for DQ1, DQ3, and the first part of two of DQ4's official famicom guide books.

Can you find an MSX2?

>>4067728
oh wow, yeah. i am also in the market for a MSX2.

Hey op, I'm in Japan right now and -- is a FDS always this hard to find? Did people just start throwing them away since they break so easily?

>>4067803
Pretty much

You'll find them at stores that specialize in retro games but for secondhand stores they're usually ¥4000 and the disc reader is always broken.

I don't have anything I want right now but you're doing the lord's work anon

>>4058746
I see a Kanazawa number plate. You live in Kanazawa city?

How much does it cost to post a loose famicom cart to Australia?

I have the distinct feeling I'm being ripped off when I buy from some online places.

How much would an AV Famicom and Core Grafx go for? Preferably in very good or great condition? Don't necessarily need the box but the cables and controllers would be nice.

>>4058760

>>4069738
Should be ¥690 if it's just the cartridge.

>>4070113
Depends on the store. Core Grafx isn't too much but the only AV Famicom near me right now (complete, good condition, out of the box) is ¥6800 after tax.

>>4070167
....and that's why I post the pictures. Sorry everyone, I completely missed that. If it's still there I'll get it when I go back but it has to go on a first come first served basis.

>>4061349
>5800
damn that's a small price to pay.

Is N64 not very popular in Japan?

Find much OG Xbox stuff in japan? There's a lot of japan exclusives I'm looking for.

>>4062152
Not that anon but in this situation there isn't really an advantage to using crypto besides getting customers who want to use crypto.

I use it for overseas business transactions to save on fees and as an investment, but if you're just doing friends and family paypal there is no fee.

IMO not worth getting into for this.

btw, how are you enjoying japan?

>>4070506
It's just more abundant but I would say that the retro scene here isn't as wide reaching as in the US. Most of it is concentrated in the cities.

>>4070512
I've seen more recently but mostly stuff I already have (JSRF, DOA3, Wreckless, etc.). I see OG Xbox consoles and accessories too but a complete console usually starts at ¥4000 or more.

Haven't seen Sin Megami Tensei yet but I'm always looking.

>>4070524
Japan is great if you know what you're getting into. Don't expect people to cater to you and accept that you'll have to work hard to understand the language and you'll probably really enjoy it. My favorite thing is the excellent infrastructure (compared to America at least).

Panorama cotton, cib, how much?

>>4057089
Hey Anon in Japan, what do pc engine consoles go for in shops?

>>4070480
I'd be very interested in getting a really nice AV Famicom and Core Grafx if they come with controllers and cables, also are the 6 button PCE controllers easy to find? I'm interested in the Avenue Pad 6 and Hori's PCE Fighting Commander.

That store reminds me of most JB HI FI stores around Australia for some reason

¥4000-¥5000 out of the box. ¥8000-9000 in box. Duos are ¥20000-25000. That's for complete in good condition of course. Here is a picture of a Duo I saw recently. I think this price is before tax though.

>>4071346
I see 6 buttons sometimes but they range from ¥1580 to ¥2580. Sometimes I get lucky and find them for under ¥1000 though, they just need some cleaning. What is your price point on an AV Famicom? There are a few available near me now but the cheapest one (complete, no box) is ¥6800.

>>4071352
I'm pretty sure Yamatoku Classic makes money from overcharging for shipping on their smaller items.

I've bought lots of stuff from Yamatoku before but I went to their ebay store the other day and they're charging a minimum of $50 for postage on anything. I'm hoping they've just made some sort of error because what the fuck man.

>>4071576
Most of their auctions end super low now so I understand that they have to make money somehow but it is pretty shady.

On the other hand, it costs at least 50 to ship a mid sized console complete and everyone always bitches if shipping isn't free.

>>4071584
You expect to pay about that much shipping for a console though. I don't see how they can justify charging $50 shipping for a loose cart.

Incidentally a complete SFC without box is $92 postage. I've bought bigger things using EMS and never had to pay that much.

>>4057089
Sounds like you got a pretty good thing going on here. I'm interested in a Mega Drive and Super Famicom at least. While I couldn't immediately use it, if 300yen Famicoms are still a thing I'd take one of those as well (if not, skip the Famicom, also skip it if it would add to postage costs) How much ya reckon that'd all be with postage to Tasmania?

>>4071576
Yeah, I bought a lot from them about 3 years ago, and the shipping was $6 for a bare SFC cart. Now I see it is $14.

>>4071624
As far as I know I can still find Famicom and super Famicom sat that price for now. I don't have an RF Switch to test the Famicoms though.

Are you looking for just the unit or the cables/controllers too. That brick of an AC adapter adds around 650 grams to the weight.

If I can get both in one box then shipping would be ¥2400 but if it goes over 2000 grams it shoots up to ¥5000.

In that case it would be cheaper to just put them in two different boxes which would probably total just over ¥3000.

>>4071576
>>4071707
Wait is Yamatoku postage minimum $50 or $14?

>>4071713
I'd rather use the correct power adapters with my step down convertor than using the local 240v equivilent and risk frying the console, so I wouldn't mind paying extra for the peace of mind. The controllers aren't very important, pretty sure they're compatible across regions, but the video cables would be useful. I'm not too stingy about paying a bit extra but if I were to drop anything from the package to save a few dollarydoos it'd be the controllers.

Too tired to think right now but I'll check this thread again tomorrow.

How frequently do you see MSX2/MSX2+/MSX Turbos?

About what price are they over there?

Other guy might not be Australian but I am and this is what it looks like for me.

>>4071754
You're in Tassie, right? For my Famicom I just use a megadrive power cable and it works perfectly fine.

http://www.famicomworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=6933.0

>>4072063
I haven't seen any yet but I did find some MSX games for an anon. They're fairly uncommon even in Japan unless you live in a major population center.

>>4071725
I am in the USA, and I see $14 as the bare minimum they ask for shipping yesterday (it was $6 about 3 years ago).

>>4071576
they also shill bid on every single auction, I would avoid buying from there. You can get better deals on untested junk without paying extortion level shipping prices.

>>4072753
How likely to work is something that is untested. I always assumed untested meant "broken but I don't know what is wrong."

>>4072781
I've recently purchase an untested Famicom and an untested PC Engine for peanuts from japan, both $30 or less shipped and they work great perfectly. For that matter, I've never had a Famicom I've ordered come dead (had one with a bad controller II, but I just removed it), and I have like, 7 or something. As long as it's not a notoriously flaky machine (CD-based systems, things that always have bad caps) the odds are in your favor, and if you have even an OK income you're not risking too much. Issues, should there be any are likely to be minor. I won't go much higher than $30 shipped on loose untested machines, but you can get some great deals that way.

>>4072781
Forgot to mention, what you said is true with US sellers 100% of the time. With Japanese sellers they are literally unloading piles of these loose machines and are legitimately just not testing them. Some machines are bullet proof; NES, SNES, PC Engine, etc.

>>4057089
Will save your email, you will probably still be doing this in a month right?

>>4072416
ah alright.

might just succumb to the ebay gougers in that case

>>4057089
Do you mind posting if you see any Game & Watch multiscreens for 4000 yen or lower?

Or single-screens for 2500 or lower. An optimistic price, but something I'll definitely snap up if you see any.

>>4073004
Yep, I will be in Japan for a long time at least so I will still be doing this through the summer.

>>4073209
Will continue to post what I see. Game & Watches aren't exactly uncommon here so hopefully something will turn up.

>>4073554
Thanks anon, I appreciate it.

OP, have you seen any .hack stuff?

>>4073627
Yeah, all of them for pretty cheap but I don't know if they're still there. Or are you looking for merchandise?

>>4073648
How much are N64 controllers?

I ask because Japanese N64 controllers were manufactured differently and (aside from more colors and alternate colors being common) they added used some different plastics and added lubricant to the joystick to prevent it from destroying itself and becoming floppy, as is common with most NTSC controllers.

Not /vr/, but if anyone in is searching out games around Osaka prefecture, could they check if this SMRPG copy is still in stock? At this point I really doubt it, though I guess it's worth a try

>>4073648
Just anything.
I have the 7 games in english.
Looking to get the games also in Jap, plus Versus, Fragment and Link.
If you see any merch, that would be cool.

OP here, I just want to give everyone a quick update. I feel like I've been overpromising and underproducing lately so I apologize if you've been waiting on a response from me and I have yet to get back to you. I really do want to help everyone but I haven't had much time to go hunting lately and of course some items will be easier to find than others.

I'm hoping to start catching up in July when I will have more free time but I will keep doing my best for the time being.

On another note, I was able to check out the laserdisc section and found some anime titles (Slayers, Gundam Wing Endless Waltz, 08th MS Team, 4 volumes of Initial D, Shin Getter Robo Armageddon, Dancougar and some Rurouni Kenshin disc). There wee also a ton of these Lum vinyl records. Everything was ¥100 each.

Sorry about the shitty angle of some of the pics, I was trying not to be seen taking them.

I will upload the rest to the archive in a few hours.

>>4074748
They peel off easily. Or do you mean the fact that they're so cheap?

>>4074756
Both. Buying vinyl from Japan has been a nightmare for me. Shipping to the US is expensive and sellers get pissy when you ask if they're using a box and not a padded envelope.

>>4074761
>vinyl in a padded envelope

Holy Hell, that sounds like a horror story waiting to happen.

>>4074761
I buy records all the time from Japan and other countries and I've never had someone use a padded envelope. Those cardboard LP mailers are pretty standard. That would be grounds for a refund on eBay or Yahoo and probably Amazon.

>>4074732
>Sorry about the shitty angle of some of the pics, I was trying not to be seen taking them.
Do stores get mad if they see you taking pictures? I mean, considering you're trying to see if people want you to spend money there, so they shouldn't get too pissy about it.

I also want to ask to see if, in your travels, you've come across bookstores that sell used tabletop RPG books. Specifically, I'm looking for ソード・ワールド2.0 books, and not really diggin' the prices I'm seeing on Amazon. Not really asking you to go out of your way to find them, but if you stumble upon one, shoot me an email and let me know.

>>4072372
Hooray for those special Australia taxs, the tax because fuck you that's why.

>>4074761
Buying vinyl from US to Europe is worse because of American shipping costs. Japanese sellers don't charge $20 for shipping one record.

>>4075205
Not OP, but yes, retail stores really don't like people taking photos / recording video in them. This applies to more than just retail stores too, I would see big-ass "No photos / videos" signs in goddamn grocery stores and corner stores as well.

>>4075572
I'd imagine so, even stores in the US are pretty anal about recording

How much for a Dreamcast (either used or brand new)? Is it wise to buy a used Dreamcast at this point? How much longer are they going to last (on average)?

Too bad nearly everything I want is region locked. You have good thing going though OP here's a bump

>>4077692
A Dreamcast complete with hookups would probably be 5000 yen or more but if I could piece one together from the junk section I could probably get you one for about 2000 yen, before shipping of course.

As for longevity, I honestly have no idea but I find Sega Saturns that still work all the time if that's any indication of the Dreamcast's lifespan.

>>4078747
You could let me know what system you need. Unless if it's really rare or obscure I might be able to find you one for cheap. Cheaper than you'll find on ebay anyway.


Public service announcement. I had a chance to get to some stores yesterday and found some things that people were looking for, I will contact you via email but also post some things in the thread just so that people can see.

Unfortunately I deleted the pics from the first store so I will have to just tell you what I saw here. The most significant things I can remember are:

A translucent blue N64 with the cords and a controller for 4800 yen

A Core Grafx unit with the cords and a controller for around 6800 yen. Unfortunately I can't recall the price exactly so it may have been a bit more. If it's still there next time I will take another picture.

Rob for the Famicom in the box for 4000 yen
Rob's gyroscopes in the box for 3800 yen (Unfortunately the cartridge was missing. Also, there may have been something affecting functionality because it was in the junk section but without the picture I can't check the label)

There are 95 new photos and I added all of them to the photo drive. I took many more pictures this time of the various collectibles sections in the store but I will only be dumping video game related pictures here to avoid complaints of "not video games."

Sorry for the blurry quality of some of the pics. As usual it's guerilla photography. If possible I would like to make a video recording with sound sometime but I would have to rig a hidden camera on myself.

Seen these threads a few times and thought it's pretty cool you're doing it.

Not got anything /vr/ related for you to search for, just wanted to ask how it was you ended up there? Where are you originally from?

I've wondered about going over there to teach English, I'm not t the of fat neckbeard weaboo that wants to turn his back on his own culture stereotype or anything, just seems kind of appealing. Don't know how I'd get on, not knowing any Japanese, though - at least with European languages there are similarities to English.

What do CIB GB Pockets typically go for?

Hey Jap Guy
I'm looking for CIB PSP 3000.
How much do they cost there?
How much is shipping to Europe?

hey japanon, not retro but how much are vitas over there?

>>4079878
I don't want to get too specific because I cherish my privacy but I don't mind answering general questions. I'm American and like most foreigners I've met here I was looking for a life change after feeling burned out with my career. Also like most foreigners I work in English teaching but I'm in the public sector so the conditions are good.

It's hard to give a general assessment of how you will adapt to life here but I will give some general knowledge based on first and secondhand experience. Regarding work, most people seem to start with English teaching (unless you're in coding or banking) and there are many types of jobs in that market. The easiest to get (and worst by far) are jobs with private companies, especially conversation schools or "enkaiwa." I can't speak from personal experience but I've never heard anything good about those places and they'll treat you like scum since there are a thousand people willing to take your place. If you're lucky you can get directly hired by the BOE of a city or prefecture but that's hard to do unless you already have work history in education and are fluent in Japanese. You could also try for the JET program but it's highly competitive and the application process takes more than half a year. I've heard mixed things about Interac but that's a private company that sends you to public schools in a dispatch system.

As for your reason, being a weeb might actually help you adapt as long as you have interest in "real" Japanese culture and not just pop culture . With that said, barring the language barrier it's still just another place and most people don't think about Japanese history and stuff like Kabuki on a daily basis.

If you have any questions you can send me an email. I'm happy to answer them but I want to keep these threads about the community instead of me.

what do you work as in japan?

also, i'll be emailing you to see if you can find me something good

I'm not sure about usually but there was one for ¥2376 this weekend.

I will have to get back to you after I check but hopefully ¥10000 or less. Do you have a preferred color/buy price?

>>4080242
Haha, I haven't looked but I will post the next time I see them. Are you looking for the new model or OLED?

>>4080297
¥980 loose (system only) and around ¥3500 complete in good condition. AV Famicoms are about twice that.

Recently I've seen some loose Famicom a for ¥300. There's no RF Switch or AC adapter but the controllers are attached.

>>4080653
Usually ¥980 loose and console only but recently I've found some for ¥300. I can try to piece them into a complete set but there will probably be some yellowing. That would probably cost around ¥2100. If you want a good condition bundle sold by the store it would probably be around ¥5000.

Just wanted to put in a good word for the OP. If you guys are worried about how legit this is, don't. He posted these MSX games in a PC-Off a few threads ago, I took him up on them, and even with the commission and shipping and handling, the prices were well below ebay and even Yahoo Auctions prices. Shipping was provided with tracking, everything arrived in less than a week. So yeah, I can attest that the OP is legit and will actually hook you up for a great deal.

I looked at the photo archive. Used in box Vitas are around 15000 to 16000 yen. Loose is around 12000 to 13000. Brand new they would be full price (in the 20000 and up range).

What colors are you interested in?

I saw a picture with 3 Sega Saturn games at reasonable prices next to each other. If not for the HD retrovision cables and OSSC becoming available, I now do not have the money to ask them of Japanon.


I will still be on the lookout for images of:

easy mode
-Chrono Trigger OST

normal mode
NeoGeo Pocket Color games
Wonderswan games

hard mode
SuperGrafx

devil mode
Aiwa Mega Drive/MegaCD
Thanks Japanon, if anything, I just like browsing the pictures.

Hey OP, can you tell me if you can find pic related? There are two versions of it, and I'm looking the one with the red ribbon on the boxart.

>>4086212
Alright, I can definitely get you some Wonderswan pics. What were thenSaturn games? Do you want clearer pictures? I mostly take pics of spines because of the time to shoot the front of everything plus it would be super obvious is the foreign person was individually photographing every game.

>>4086216
Sure thing, I don't think I've seen that one so far but I will post it if it shows up. I love looking through peripherals anyway.

OP, I'm going to be in Tokyo for a couple months, where do you recommend looking for games outside of the Akihabara area? I've been to nakano too. Not looking to buy something specific right now. Pic unrelated

>>4078904
Hmm I would personally prefer the Retail cart since i know for sure it would play on a non JP system via converters
Can't say that for sure with the Memory Cart from the Nintendo Power service

But thanks for looking out for it japanon

You are really kind and let no one tell you otherwise

OP, I'll apologise in advance since this is very much not retro, but have you ever come across a copy of Elminage Gothic 3D Remix (3DS)? I've checked online in various marketplaces and the price is always absurdly high, even for used.

>>4088357
I'm really not familiar with Tokyo, I've only been there a few times. However, I can generally recommend secondhand stores like the "off" brand (book off, hard off and comp off in particular) and 2nd street. You aren't guaranteed to find really obscure hardware like you will in Akiba but the prices are usually much better. Also, ask about making a point card. They're free and if you buy a lot you should be able to get at least a few dollars (or a few hundred yen) back.

>>4088384
That's understandable. Sorry if anyone got their hopes up. I think the store deliberately covered the label for that very reason.

>>4088542
Haven't heard of that game before so I'm not sure but I will take a look.

Thanks. Pic related. I think brand new copies go for like ¥ 27,000+ which is insane for a 3 year old game.

>>4089598
Thanks for the info. Just for reference what price are you looking for in case I see it while I'm out and need to make a quick decision?

Hello Anon, how much for a Famicom (complete or without cables), decent condition, don't care for the box or anything. And how much would it cost shipped to South America?

Thanks and have a good day

Hello OP
Have you seen any green n64, I have only seen blue ones in your photos
People here ask too much for them and haven't seen that many lately
Just need the console, ac and the expansion pack

>>4060943
I'd totally buy it from you if it wasn't for The US's orange tip laws.

Oh well, I already have Time Crisis and Guncon, though not the box

HEY OP I NEED SOME HELP FROM YA
DOOD
YOU STILL ALIVE?

>>4073828

Why is Japan so WEIRD??? Walking around stoned in Japan would be BONKERS!!!

>>4078895
>>4078897
I'm glad people take care of there stuff in Japan and (usually) aren't hoarders when it comes to video games because they don't have the space. Everybody can enjoy these games, but the only way this can happen is if people are comfortable with giving up games sometimes and returning them to the lifestream, if you will.

>>4089680
Brand new: Below ¥9000
Used: Below ¥4000
Unlikely for both cases though, pretty much everywhere I look it's expensive as hell. If you can't find it don't worry, I could just import it from Amazon, Solarisjapan, etc. Tbqh I don't wanna burden you since all the other anons here have their own requests.

Find any Arcade PCBs? Preferably something like a NEO GEO MVS PCB or TAITO PCB

Why the everloving fuck was my post deleted? What douchebag has a problem with me telling OP he has a nice photo album on Google photos?

Sorry to be so slow everyone. Caught a bit of a cold and fell behind on everything. I'll do my best to answer your questions now.

>>4089682
Last time I was at the store with cheap Famicoms there were some for 300 yen but no r/f switches. The Famicom is heavier than you'd think so shipping it with an A/C adapter may be tricky since I need to keep the total weight under 2000 grams for affordable shipping. Sending the console only to South America (including commission and the cost of a box) would probably be 1700 yen (2110 with tracking). With an A/C adapter I might be able to send it for 2100 yen (2510 with tracking).

However, keep in mind that tracking doesn't work once it reaches South America except with EMS.

>>4089690
I don't think so but there have been a few other variants like gold and the Pikachu one so I can take a look again. I'll post pics of whatever I see.

A/C adapters are easy (probably 300 or 500 yen) and if I'm lucky the N64 will have the expansion pack in it but it's all up to luck.

>>4089776
That one wasn't me actually but I can let you know if I see one. Regarding orange tip laws, I could always put orange masking tape over the barrel which could be removed later.

>>4089871
Lately I've been seeing them for 2580 yen but sometimes the plain colors are available for 1580. If I'm really lucky I can find some in the junk bin for 300 yen but they might have loose sticks. They would definitely need cleaning but it shouldn't be too bad.

>>4089971
It's actually one of the most routine and mundane places you could ever visit. Not knocking it but seriously, I meet fewer weirdos here than back in America.

>>4090187
No, sorry. They don't really carry things like that at the stores I typically visit but I might get lucky at some non-chain stores. Actually, I wonder what happened to them all because most of the time when I see arcades with old games they are clearly being emulated.

>>4092997
Hey I hope you're doing fine, thanks for doing this for us. I'll keep your email handy.

>>4092997
Thank you for the answer
Maybe color n64 weren't popular
How much do the variants you mention usually go for?

>>4093735
I've seen them with a controller and cables for 4800 yen but some places want a bit more for them. The cheaper place only has black ones right now I think.

Kind of retro related by vc and emulation
How much does a wiiU or wii go for?

>>4094223
Haven't looked actually but I can let you know. There are probably some prices in the google photo archive.

Not retro but could you help me get the PS4 version of Touhou: Urban legend in limbo?

>>4095001
I have seen some and posted pictures before. It was mostly Falcom stuff. I also found some MSX games once. I will take more pictures the next time I see them.

>>4095153
Sure, if I see it. It looks like you can buy it on Amazon though, are you looking for it at a particular price?

Any of those magazines targeted towards younger girls who play games (any of them) i would absolutely love to see any pictures you find of those
Or if you find any miscellanious tamagotchi, rilakkuma, sanrio/san-x stuff i'd love to see pictures.

i'm really sorry for sending so much, i'm just really excited

Sorry for this overwhelming list. I saw some of these on ebay, but the prices and shipping are a bit too much. if i were to buy from you i would maybe wanna combine so the shipping and overall price would be a bit cheaper. anyways thank you again, sorry to trouble you and if it's too much just ignore me lol

Im curious to know what the most obscure things are you have found

I've been wanting to see an MSX copy of Final Fantasy 1. It's almost nonexistent online.

I'll take a look for those games for you. Could you please send an email to [email protected] so I have a way to contact you privately if/when I find something?

I'm not familiar with the publication you mentioned in your first post. Could you provide me with the name of any of those magazines targeted to younger girls? I don't want to look like a creep asking the staff if they have any magazines for young girls.

>>4096818
I'm not really sure because I probably wouldn't have recognized it. I saw a Satellaview and that was my first and only time encountering one in person. I've also seen a number of third party "cheat" peripherals that weren't released outside of Japan. I'm hoping to see the Panasonic Q someday but that hasn't happened yet.

>>4096843
I'll post it if I see it. I've only been to one store that carried MSX games but they were all at pretty reasonable prices so hopefully Final Fantasy would be as well.

>>4089598
Not OP - saw it used at a Tokyo book-off for 6500 used

>>4057089
¿Any good deals with PC Big Boxes?

No luck with Hori SFC/PS1 and the NeCon gamepads?

I did email you few weeks ago

How's japan for getting famicom/super famicom/gameboy games?
Are they still cheap or has demand from westerners increased their prices?

>>4101103
I don't see a ton of big box games but I post them when I do. I'm not sure if anything really jumped out at me but I'm not as familiar with Japanese PC games.

>>4101136
I was waiting for an email back about the Negcon unless if you're a different anon. I'm not sure if they still have it. I see a lot of Horizon Saturn pads but haven't seen the others lately.

I don't usually have time to go to stores until the weekend and even then not every weekend. Sorry if the thread is slow during the week.

>>4101142
They are still plentiful. Games that don't require Japanese ability tend to be more expensive for obvious reasons.

>>4057089
Hey man, do you come across Game Boy Lights often, and how much do they cost you? You can ship to the UK right? Thanks!

>>4103096
Now that you mention it, I'm also curious about this

>>4103096
>>4103369
I think I may have seen one at one of the stores. I will have to take a look. Game boy pockets and Game boy colors aren't too uncommon and usually run around 2480 yen in good condition. If you're lucky it might have the box too.

>>4103518
Hope you get to see one Japanon, you're lucky enough to maybe get to see one someday
Sucks that it's Japan exclusive, it's actually one of my favourite handhelds from what I've seen online

>>4057709
In Tokyo I found Mandarake's Shibuya location cool. Kyoto has an A-Too location south of the Teramachi district.

>>4103096
damn forgot about this, now i'm wondering myself

Yo, this is pretty cool, is it fun? I would love to be in japan and hunt games all the time.
This isn't quite /vr/ territory but I'm interested if you could check out some GBA games. I'm imagining they're relatively common but I'm more interested in how the prices are

>>4104291
i'm talking CIB btw

>>4104291
It's fun for me to dig through things and have that moment when I find something really cool.

Sometimes I spread myself too thin and feel bad because I can't always help everyone but I know /vr/ understands that I'm at the mercy of inventory.

What are you loo king for by the way? I see a lot of GBA games so it doesn't hurt to ask.

I mean, I guess they're cool to collect if you're a weeaboo, but still.

Fuck man that's a dream come true, I wish I came to /vr/ sooner

If you could somehow find Doubutsu no Mori + or e+ with a memory card I'd be more than happy to pay, I've got the games already but if they have memory cards that only adds value (which I really don't care about honestly, I just love Animal Crossing)

So how much does a good PC-98 go for? Just curious.

Also any Roland Sound Canvas 55s?

>>4109087
1. I have played all of those games enough to the point i could play them without needing to read
2. look up any ps1 game price vs its JPN version, nearly always its cheaper
3. currently learning japanese so when i play these i know the words and dialog in english, it can help supplement the studying by looking at it in leisure time not learning time

I think I've seen it around. I've definitely seen e-readers in the ¥100 bin.

>>4111038
I found one for ¥70000 once but the optical drive was slow. I imagine a good one would run around ¥13000 or more in the box.

I have no id a about the Roland. I wasn't even aware of those.

Sorry that I've been slack with pics. Next time I will try to get A/V equipment pictures too.

It's possible that he's in Japan because of work-related reasons.
He probably has to leave so immediately because of something with work or his family.

>>4112460
>And that part is suspicious
Hardly. I'm a Navyfag and have been to Yokosuka and Sasebo a bunch of times. I've met several people who've been stationed there for years and never bothered to learn Japanese because they could get by with most basic English on liberty.

Dollars to donuts the guy living in Tokyo is part of the JET program. Those fuckers are practically everywhere from Ikebukoro to Matsumoto.
