I'm actually going to try and head out to one, possibly two, of these today. Will let you know how it is when I get back.

Most of these shops are open 24 hours just in case you need a Famicom copy of Super Mario Brothers at 3AM on a Tuesday.
For obvious reasons, including my ebay auctions, I had to censor some of the prices.
Enjoy the pictures.

It's because he doesn't want to let people know how much he's jacking up the prices.hashiriya1 wrote:Those black dots are there for a reason!![]()
Yeah, you probably bought it for $60, and are reselling it for $200...gtmtnbiker wrote:More power to you if you're able to snag cheap deals and resell them on Ebay for a handsome profit.
Maybe if the person in question here was man enough to actually show how much he's ripping you off. It's not like anyone's going to Japan anyways and people will end up buying his stuff on eBay regardless of whether he shows it or not. And if someone is going to Japan, I doubt they'd buy stuff from him either way.
