I was wondering, most imports are probably cheaper to buy in Japan, right? but is the price a lot cheaper? I have no sense as to whether game collecting is big in japan.

I'm looking for

Saturn Shmups and Fighting Games
Dreamcast games
Snes games

are these cheaper to get from Japan? So, would it make sense to try to find someone in Japan who would be willing to buy me some stuff rather than doing ebay?

Check out [JAPANAMUSMENT]

They are a trusted searcher, seller and shipper of games etc from Japan :)

Thanks Franco, I'd like to check it out myself.

To OP. Generally speaking, I've had good experiences with dealing with individuals in Japan for my collecting needs. I used to get all sorts of stuff, not just games. My ex and I were always getting compliments and questions about our acquisitions. I quit for several reasons but the primary one was;

Customs starting tearing into about a 1/3 of my shipments not labeled as gifts. Even before 9/11, Customs doesn't give a rats ass about your stuff so my things were coming in torn, dirty or missing parts. If it was food, forget it. It's an empty box at that point. No thanks to those morons at customs I've lost quite a bit of money.

has anyone ever tried one of the proxy services for yahoo jp? i know they knock a good chunk on for commission but even then still works out ok.

umm.. www.celga.com for example?

Thanks Franco! I'll give that a try

I've never tried the proxy services at yahoo jp, not even sure what that means. Is it sort of like hiring someone to do an errand for you?
