Japan videogames and hardware prices

I'm going to Japan this Spring. I would like to buy some gaming souvenirs ;-) But I have no idea about prices. Is there website where I can compare prices for used and new stuff? I'm not sure if ebay and co is the right place to look for.

btw, a list of items which I would like to buy. Preferred second hand in good condition. probably someone here in the forums may help me.:thumbsup:



PS3 (loose, cheapest model)

Victor or Sega Wondermega (loose)

GameCube:

NDS:
Arkanoid DS + Paddle

DC:
REZ

PSX:
Namco Arcade Stick (loose)

PSP:

Saturn:
In the Hunt
Virtua Stick (the white one)
Sega oder 3rd Party VCD-Card (loose)
floppy disk drive

PC Engine:

PS2:

N64:

Famicom:

XE-1 joystick

 

I put the prices right to the stuff that I know about.

 

thank you very much:nod:

The Saturn floppy seems to be very expensive in Japan as well as Dracula X :-(

 

PC Engine:
Bakushou Yoshimoto no Shinkigeki 500￥

 

I seem to remember Drac X being cheaper than that in Japan (Though this is probably from a few years back)

Any particular reason your going to be getting a GC pad from Japan??

Godsent.

 

I thought pads would be cheaper in Japan and may have a better condition.

 

New I think it goes for about 5000jpy based on websites/auctions

 

They are mostly in good condition, but they aren't really cheap. You may be lucky to find some bargains in junk shelfs (like me, boxed skeleton saturn controller fo 500yen), but the regular price for loose pads (hanging on those racks) pend only between 1000 and 1500yen. Saturn pads are normally around this price, so are Dreamcast, PlayStation and Famicom. I don't know mucb about other platforms prices though tbh.

@oli_lar
My prices are from August. I didn't find any Drac X for less than 10k w/spine, which is still a pretty good price I think. Regularly they are being offered for around 12k though.

 

btw, I'm not interested in spine cards. Just the game with case and manual ;-)

 

In that case, remove 10-25% of the price. There are quite some huge bargains to shoot if you don't care about spine-cards.

 

A new white PSP-2000 is more like 20,000.

 

You really think you could get a Wondermega for ¥20,000? That sounds cheap to me.

 

No he can't. 5 years ago I was very lucky to get a mint Sega one for 24'0000 yen and that was lucky. These days they cost even more.

A loose one is always a different league. At times you can find loose Victor & Sega Wondermegas for 15-20k at Super Potato, but they're without software or cables or both.

Victor ones are always cheaper, as they look not quite as sexy

 

I have original Sega spare one, just the card if you want.

 

BTW - I don't even know about any 3rd party VCD cards? Just Victor and Hitachi ones except for SEGA's of course.

 

REZ is really hard to find. Actually I have only seen one copy for 5000 Yen.

Dracula X is going for 7900 to 8600.
