    Can you give me an example on some of the price discounts you have gotten specifically from Yahoo.jp? Is it only specific to some niche things like watches, or are there all sorts of great deals?

    Trying to figure out if I need/want to dive into this.

      Yeah it’s mainly good for niche JDM items, and you really have to know what you are looking for, it’s not discounted per se but generally items are cheaper by virtue of being purchased from country of origin or being more common in that market vs your own domestic market. For example I bought a 2nd hand JDM only watch via Rakuten (a Yahoo competitor) using ZenMarket. The normal rrp was like $250 AUD, I got it for $50 AUD. You do have to factor in fees, tax and shipping though so final price was closer to $70 AUD. Buyee is the biggest platform but I like ZenMarket too.

      I do know from travelling to Japan that their electronics can be a lot cheaper too.
