Yes. Avoid these chink scammers. They actually never send the items and are located in china, not japan
Those yellow game boy lights in "as new condition" are common as dirt now that someone found the shell moulds. It's a reshell of a heavily used silver/gold one. The shells are on aliexpress and are decent actually, so find a cheap GB and do it yourself.
I don't care about the game boy, I'm talking about shit like this.
Japanese have small apartments and don't collect things/packrat the way Americans might.
They’re just way more common over there as how people treat commodities is a lot different.
It’s also why importing cool cars from Japan is so easy and relatively cheap, they increase taxes on higher mileage/kilometer vehicles linearly, so for some individuals, businesses and farmers it’s not practical to keep their vehicles past a certain odometer reading, and then we get them for cheap as frick because who cares if your $5000 Honda acty has 70k kilometers on it when there are people daily driving cars at 300k miles here.
>they increase taxes on higher mileage/kilometer vehicles linearly, so for some individuals, businesses and farmers it’s not practical to keep their vehicles past a certain odometer reading
that's fricking rape
It's actually genius. We should implement a similar tax to make it "beneficial" for turdies to import our trash.
That's so incredibly wasteful, why do they do this?
>That's so incredibly wasteful, why do they do this?
Don't read about the housing industry in Japan, it'll make you mad.
In essence they just demolish houses older than 30 years and build new ones because that's cheaper than renovating them.
That's one of the reasons houses in Japan have so low quality, they're not built to last at all.
Is that everywhere in Japan or just in the shitties?
I believe "shitties" refers to Tokyo's Shitamachi districts. Yes, the scene described is likely limited to these areas.
Literally watch the Patlabor movie, because it is, with no exaggeration at all, about the villain getting buttmad about this exact thing. There are whole scenes of investigators walking through decrepit, derelict Japanese housing districts that are slated for demolition, set to ominous music.
AND THEN THE VILLAIN FRICKING WINS POSTHUMOUSLY IN THE END, SUGGESTING THAT THE WRITERS WERE ANGRY ABOUT IT TOO.
>It’s also why importing cool cars from Japan is so easy and relatively cheap, they increase taxes on higher mileage/kilometer vehicles linearly
What? Why? That doesn't even make sense.
cars made in Japan are not made for 300k miles because of this. you'll be replacing a lot more parts than you will on a US-built Honda, etc, as those use components and materials needed to last more like 10-12 years.
Observed the opposite. Toyota vehicles for example last much longer and require less servicing.
Was it an actual import?
radioactive waste from Fukushima surroundings
>not checking Japanese objects with a Geiger counter
Mate that's not a real Nintendo product. They were called "Game Boy Pocket." It's probably a chinese knock off. Might be allright but it's not Japanese.
It is though. The game boy light is a japan exclusive game boy pocket with backlight.
And they used Latin script for the name on the product?
Sounds silly...

the zionist occupied government you live under heavilly subsidizes slave labor countries to destroy your countries manufacturing base thats why they can ship shit to you for free
beware of ones that are just scams cloning listings from japanese sites

eBay is the worst place, it's only japanese selling to foreigners with the intent to rip them off.
go to yahoo auctions, it's actually japs selling to other japs so the prices are more reasonable although you'll want to find a third party importer (buyee if you're lazy).
is the market for used 3DS still fricked or did nintendo killing the servers improve things? I don't want to pay 200 dollars for a "new" 3ds xl
Just buy a n3dsLL on Yahoo auctions
i don't know. I bought some rare Japanese exclusive PS2 models for very reasonable prices. One even came in its original box with all its original packaging and was spotless, it also smelled good and they gave me a hand written note thanking me.
I've never been treated so good by an eBay seller.
