Title: Where to sell electronic in Akihabara?
Post by: crazyaoshi 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 (http://www.hardoff.co.jp/)..

Hey, here in Kansai, we have a weekly English publication titled Kansai Flea Market (http://www.kfm.to/) 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).
