Where to sell electronic in Akihabara?
« on: August 07, 2007, 05:15:48 PM »
I'd like to know but realistically I don't expect a response.  Anyway, I have a DVHS VCR and a BS/CS tuner + antenna that are just taking up space in my house.  I thought I would go to Akiba and sell them.  Do you know a place where I can get a fair price?

Specifically the tuner is a Sony DST-TX1.  The VCR is a Victor HM-DHX1.
Thanks in advance.

Ebay is virtually unheard of in Japan (as far as I know) and Japanese people use Yahoo Auctions.  This is Japanese hardware and almost certainly won't work outside of Japan.  I have no Yahoo Auctions reputation and I don't trust auctions.

I sold the stuff to Sofmap in Akiba.  Janpara offered the exact same price.

Thanks anyway.

If the mods desire, delete the thread.  I doubt anyone else will need this info someday but just in case...

At least you didn't go to HARD OFF..

Hey, here in Kansai, we have a weekly English publication titled Kansai Flea Market which has accommodation, jobs and stuff for sale... Does Kanto have the same type of thing??

sounds like "the pennysaver" that we have over here. I think lots of places have those kind of things.

We have Metropolis http://metropolis.co.jp/

But I didn't bother because I doubt any foreigners would want what I had (HDTV tuner and DVHS deck).
