Japan has no ebay. Yahoo is the #1 auction site. Japanese only though. Most sellers don't ship overseas. And payment is via a Japanese CC, or convienance store or Japanese bank.
There are 3rd party sites that will buy products for you for a fee.

The alternative is to pay higher price via a seller from Japan that happens to sell on ebay or use a 3rd party that buys on your behalf on Yahoo Auction. Yahoo Auction has hurdles to buying direct if you don't live in Japan. But, the prices are great... for Japanese retro.
If on the other hand, you're looking for an Amiga, C64, there's no point to use Yahoo Auction. Stick to ebay.
Make sense?

Having a quick look through it I don't really see a big price difference, certainly in terms of Wonderswan stuff that would make a 3rd party site and all that headache worthwhile.
