I collect Japanese junk

Hello, everybody. I am foreigner living in Tokyo. As a hobby, I usually look for find some old junk to maintain, play and collect. Nice to meet you!

 

Welcome to the forum!

 

Welcome to assembler

 

Nice, I'm also in Tokyo! Welcome to the forums.

 

I might be heading to japan myself in like 6 months or so for work. Kinda wish it would come sooner.

 

Thanks for the comments, guys! You all seem to be so kind in this forum.

 

I import junk from Japan! Like they say "one man trash is another man's treasure".

 

Are we talking banana peals and empty cans, or is it electronics ?

 

lol
yeah electronics. Would be a little weird to import thrash cans... oh and I used to import cars too. Yahoo Auction Japan is a gold mine.

 

Welcome aboard Joseph86

You bet it is!

But I've noticed that many sellers on YaJ sell their stuff quite expensive though, they must know that people from outside Japan found a way to buy stuff here using a japanese middleman

 

Which cars?

 

Mostly Celicas GT-FOUR. Owned a few over the years, I kept a 92 and a 94.

 

Oh nice! I was going to get a GT-FOUR but I'm restricted
Happy with the Supra anyway

 

Thread hijack! lol
I imported Celicas and MR2s, but not a single Supra. I drove one, great drive, but a lot more expensive.

 

MR2 was another one on the hit list but, lack of cargo space was a big deal breaker.
Haha, they're not cheap to maintain either.
