So let's take a virtual visit to a Hard Off shop.They sell everything 2nd hand (or overstock), Laptops, musical instruments, blenders, you name it! I am only focusing on the game aspect of the shop.
Let's go!
This is the Tagajo Store located in Tagajo City, Miyagi Prefecture. (Off-House is the 2nd-hand household goods section)
Used games and systems.
But the treasures and tragedies are often found in the JUNK CORNER. The broken, unwanted, forgotten...they all wait for someone to come and appreciate (and fix) them. I think of the blue bins as treasure chests. Not everything is broken, but most things were not cared for very well.
That's it! Some stores don't have much, some stores have treasure troves. This one rates somewhere in between. Anyhoo, thanks for coming!

Terrence why do you show me these pictures of amazing stores I will never visit
Thank you again for the pics!!!! I went to japan a couple of months ago. By using my caveman Japanese skills (man its hard) english and believe it or not spanish. Found a japanese guy that spoke pretty good spanish. In fact he had a puertorican friend that had go there to teach or something he was there a couple of years and taught him. He said theres something that you can identify a puertorican (btw I dont look ghetto or loudmouth). Awesome place there. The guy was kind enough to show me around and I got to go to bigbox arcade and got my ass whoop!!. But I was happy and even got a chance to talk to some of the pro players. Anyway I used a bunch of your pictures to show them to him and he took me to those places he even showed me where the gundam was and told me it was gonna come again. I was like ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Anyway keep those pics coming because I'm going again and need reference points now that I have a new friend. And oh btw Japanese are so polite and some of his friends (girls) wanted me to talk you know (sweet talk) in spanish. Oh and at least my Japanese from caveman went up a level to toddler.
Sorry if this kinda doesn't go in the topic but it goes your pics help me what to see amongst other places that are really beautiful. Thank you again for the pics.

I wish there were stores here where I could browse boxed older system
It looks like the price on the boxed Saturn is 4200 Yen (about 50 USD) but it's really hard for me to make out. If that is the actual price I really want to physically go to that store and glance around.

4200 would be around the correct price (looks like it to me also, and experience tells me this would be in the common range).
I had a (bad?) habit of mixing and matching parts from junk CIB systems to make one good CIB set. Sometimes it doesn't take a lot of work to make junk systems working great (sometimes just a cleaning and battery!), so there can be great deals to be had.
