Japan’s bins of CHEAP GameBoy Consoles 

I know the feeling; still waiting on his bike rebuild videos….

Same 😢

i read this as “im going to empty inside”.

Do they still have jobs for certified couriers? Get paid to take documents anywhere around the world?

Thank you so much ❤

You ain’t kidding. I’ve been living here for almost two years, my buddy found a brand new limited edition PSP for around 50 USD and I got Leaf Green and a DBZ GBA game for relatively cheap as well. There’s a few Hard offs in Hiroshima that are still diamonds in the rough if you’re willing to do some digging

Even with yahoo auctions and mercari, the prices have been climbing steadily. We have the glut of proxy buying services to thank. To find the real gems now requires looking for local neighborhood toy/game shops and asking if they have dead stock.

Some of the best bargains I found were mid 2012-2013, the price has been climbing in recent years, though it also depends a lot on the locality, I literally wouldn't waste my breath on central tokyo hard offs, book offs, Treasure factories or similar, they inflate their prices dramatically for the foreigners, I have since left Japan, but when i left in 2020, what I noticed from most stores was that they were phasing out certain age/generation of games, famicom games were being sold in bundles of 20, I think in the next 10 years or so, they likely wont have anything older than PS3/360 on shelves.

Thank you 🙏

Because apparently, Americans treat their stuff like crap compared to Japan...

@@haydenlaw1484 that is true most of the time but i did buy a rock man bn 4 gba sp from japan one time and it wasn't in the best of shape, i payed 80 for it. so that is true most of the time but sometimes it is not so.

@@haydenlaw1484 And are greedy af compared to Japan too.

yeah but most of it dont work

@@kadirkarahan6722 I litterally DO NOT care..I have soldering equipment and screwdrivers for that very reason.... Cheap Aibo here I come!

They would all have bad scuffs and something broken as well.

I don't know why people go to Japan for this shit. Nine tenths of the time, the prices are a ripoff and you can find cheaper in the US or EU on eBay and Facebook Marketplace - A good example of Japanese price-gouging is the $210 USD they were asking for that 'IBM Model M' keyboard at 5:57 when you can get them in mint condition on eBay for under $150 USD in a lot of cases. The sad reality is that Japan hasn't innovated anything truly remarkable for 30 years, and shopping in Japan is beginning to feel like a visit to the bargain bin section of a Radio Shack trying to get rid of old shit that you can't get parts or accessories for anymore. Back in the nineties, you could go to Japan and be genuinely amazed at the technology available in every gadget store, but nowadays with mass globalisation of products and the omnipotent nature of the internet and e-commerce, Japan has become a bit of a shoulder-shrugging experience. Though, with all that said, I'd still geek out if I saw a mint-condition Sony Minidisk player..lol
