Services

When you need a human.

01

We Hunt

Rare and discontinued items with no listing. We search auctions, local platforms, and physical shops to find item.

02

We Inspect

Condition reports before you buy: detailed photos, video, and hands-on testing where possible, delivered as an honest written report.

03

We Negotiate

Sellers who won't ship overseas, only take Japanese bank transfer or COD, or need convincing. We handle it in native Japanese.

04

We Visit

In-store exclusives, event merchandise, and lottery items in the Tokyo area. We physically go and buy.
