Not talking eBay, but any other decent places to buy, other than genki and VGI?

Amazon Japan?

not in the uk i think they want uk based import places. Only one i use from time to time nowadays is genki as their prices are pretty good and a few times they have had sealed stuff that i couldn't even find anywhere else.

Loads of groups trading in Japanese video games. Good starting point is Allan’s Japanese Retro Games sales. The guy also has a shop in Glasgow called Forgotten Worlds.

Any reason you don’t buy from Japan? I buy from a couple of places that are okay to undervalue stuff provided you take the hit if it goes missing. Such as

Best place for me though is a guy who lives in Japan and sells games on his Facebook. Cheap prices, cheap shipping and undervalues. I just msged him and asked to join his friends list. He sells stuff on eBay too put it’s marked up to cover eBay fees.

Yeah that's a good shout - a bit less structured than a regular shopping experience, but judging by a) familiar faces I see in that group and b) sales I see agreed there that end up in the pickups thread here, it's the forum's worst kept secret

Yeah, I've spotted various forumites in there and the pickups are always a give-away on here with the price labels on them.
