What do YOU wanna get at Japanese thrift store??
Excellent store. I would like to see a store like that in person sometime. My favorite anime is Rurouni Kenshin.
What’s this sore called when I go to Japan?にほんすきです！❤
I need to visit there.... I still have my Dreamcast, and only have 2 games for it.... Looking for Capcom vs SNK.... LOL
You look way better with your hair dryed. Kind of messy looking with the right out the shower look
"Chrono Trigger still in the box." I just DIED!! I'm a huge gamer and I would be in heaven in this thrift store!
Bookoff does have 90% their hard goods items wrapped in plastic, the box is original and it's in good shape, but the plastic is not original (or very rarely so), as Bookoff adds plastic to everything that can be plasticized.
I sold my US cart for $100usd a few years ago.
@@negakurai, I managed to trade the Super Star Wars Trilogy for my SNES/NSFC version of Chrono Trigger. I also got a copy of the PS2 port of Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 at a thrift store in my country of the USA (it is a retroactive side story of the HBO cable miniseries that is called Band of Brothers, and that it is a series of parallel, but intertwining, events, but from two different perspectives from the same military unit, albeit under different military companies, if you are wondering), plus I got plenty of SNES/NSFC, Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, N64, PS1, and PS2 video games for good prices at a flea market for years, and a few PS2 titles at a now defunct retro video game store. The best actual retail store game that I got was a then brand new copy of Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3/Sparking! METEOR for the PS2. I got quite a few good PS2 titles at retro video game stores and, yes, at GameStop, but before they went completely to seed.
That was exactly what I thought every time when I was in a book-off store 😄
It’s amazing the contrast between Japanese and American thrift stores. Japan they keep everything organized and aligned neatly with new plastic wraps and storage boxes and other protections. In American thrift stores they just throw everything in general sections randomly on shelves in bad condition, much broken and dirty.
So American Thrift stores just sell garbage. That's what you can boil it down to.
Goodwill is always messy and dirty... At least at the St Vincent DePaul thrift store they clean the items and fix them, but then they charge an astronomical price for the used items. Usually the best place to go are the small independently owned thrift stores where the items are organized, repaired, and good quality.
Indeed
The Goodwill stores near me ate always a mess.
@@ANAnomalous1I used to go to a St Vincent DePaul in Oregon, it was “slightly” better than Goodwill, but still rather messy and dirty.
I love watching Mrs Eats geek out over things even if she has no clue what they really are. She seems happy just to see things she's never seen before.
I LOVED the personal memories (of fishing & skiing), and your new hair style. That 80s jacket looked AWESOME on you.
Mrs. Eats hair looks really nice.
She looks and sounds really beautiful overall 😊❤
CHRONO TRIGGER STILL IN THE BOX! 🤗 Mr. Eats, I hope you really bought that!
When i was a kid i wished i could have a windbreaker half that fresh lol. I can watch you guys shop around for hours.
That Reebok jacket was actually so dope. 🔥
My childhood just reached out from the past to choke me. What I'd give to be back in Japan for a few days just to browse this store & stay at an inn. (There's gotta be some Super Robot Wars in there. I've been missing those a lot.) I'm amazed at how organized and neat everything is. It doesn't feel like a thrift store. Thank you for sharing your memories, Mrs Eats!
Mrs. Eats, you tell the best stories! 😂 The skiing story was great, and the fish squeezing 🎣🪗 had me WHEEZING 🤣🤣🤣 Hats off to the horror film edit on that one, too 😂
Thanks for the peek into Japanese Thrifting!
I so much love those Book-Off stores. And I am always impressed how clean and tidy everything is. I have watched how they clean those second hand items before they put them on the shelves.
You could make a big profit if you found a way to ship those $5 figures over to North America and resell them.
Mrs Eats story about fishing was the best! 😂
This is the video I’ve been waiting for! Thank you!
Me too pretty much
yah i love the Book off super bazaar . I go there everytime I go to Japan to get bargains.
The jacket that you said may come back in style in your lifetime is currently already a hit item in Canada. People buy them cheap at thrift stores to resell online or at vintage stores for a nice profit. Some big name stores also have new jackets in their speing collection that are designed ro look like those from the '80s. The Cheech and Chong item made me laugh. My parents would not allow that movie in our house, haha.
Love love love thrift stores in America and England and Ireland. Now I feel like I have visited thrift stores in Japan as well!
I ❤ Book Off! I spent so many hours in there when I was in Japan. I miss them.
Edit: The anime school ski trip is real! 😮
You both are good gentle people of good humor. Much fun!!
I’m so impressed with the cleanliness and orderly fashion that all this merchandise is laid out in this thrift store.
The big thrift stores that I’ve seen in the USA are a total mess in comparison and buyers beware when purchasing any electronic items.
Fantastic video. You have earned my subscription.
Man I wish our thrift stores here in America were that cool and good.
Great video.
This woman is the true antidepressant that we need
It must be so fun to walk through such a big book off. I bought two pokemon switch games for me and a friend when I visited a store in Osaka and paid around 1500 yen each. He was really happy when he got it for christmas 😃
I remember when Chrono Trigger fisrt came out. Loved that game!
hahaha I love all your story inputs from your life!
I think American people are paying more than 10K for those old Nintendo systems... you should tell the store owner!
I went to bookoff on my last day in Japan and couldn’t believe how amazing it was. I bought Mario Wonder for $30!
Love the haircut 😊 Oh my squishing the fish with your hand made me LOL. I have read Oishinbo..One of the first mangas that I collected the full set. Just loved all the food. So different from our western comics.
Thank you for the great video!
OK, I'm in love with Mrs. Eats's doggy sweater.
I can't wait to go to this store! 😊
That store looks so awesome :)
kewl. i had the impression that secondhand things in Japan were not very popular, somewhat undesirable. Thanks for sharing!! really interesting.
Thirty years ago they were not, but things have changed with the bad economy and the aging of the population.
I love your videos. Mr. Eats is hilarious!!!!
It's crazy to see even the older consoles not locked behind the glass. They would have 100% been stolen in America.
And I hope you bought that amazing Reebok jacket!
Happy Valentine’s Day 🩷🫶
Was hoping to see some Neo-Geo games there, but probably too expensive for a thrift shop. ;)
Awesome seeing all those retro games and consoles!
boy oh boy I would cry tears of joy in that gaming aisle
This brings back memories. I remember having one of the old PlayStation in the 90s before I upgraded to a PlayStation one and eventually to PlayStation two but also in the 90s I had a GameBoy black-and-white.
I almost choked when I saw that Dreamcast. I just bought one on eBay for $125.00. The one you picked up was about $35.00 in US currency. And it had the orange logo too which means it was a US version. The Japanese and European Dreamcasts had a blue logo.
I love Hard-off, House-off, Hobby-off and even Garage-off!
When I lived in Japan in 2007, there was all 4 near my apartment in Nagaoka. Every weekend I would ride my bike there and look at all the cool stuff! I found so many RX-7 parts for my brother at Garage-off.
Last year I took my kids to Hobby-off and they bought so many Demon Slayer gachapon for themselves and their friends / cousins!
I would love to visit this thrift shop and just get EVERYTHING in that game section
Your hair looks great in this video and I'd spend so much time and money in that store
The zany-colored retro windbreakers are back in style in northern US! They're everywhere again!
I love you guys. I wish I could go to places like this.
I must say Mr.Eats you are a lucky guy. You have a cool wife who likes the same stuff as you do, hangout with you everywhere, she can joke about anything with you. She is an awesome person. Love to you both❤️
Arigato gozaimasu for going to Book Off. I miss it. Well not your version, but mine as I'd regular the San Diego one and on occasion the orange county locations a little further up state. No longer live there, don't visit either, wish they'd open more around the US as I'd be all over the variety, fun, and mental vacation seeing this.
Ohhh I love the book off videos. I’d spend sooo much time and money in a place like that, though. 😅
fishing tools😁 (we call it fishing gear, here in america).
BookOff is one of my favourite stores here in Japan. I bought a $1K lens for my camera for only $75! It's a great place for getting manga super cheap, as well as figures. One of the best stores in Japan, hands down!
I love thrift stores & of course Japan does them better!
I know it’s not the point of the video but I absolutely love your haircut! We call it a shag. I’ve always had a long curly shag, no matter the decade. I too look like a rockstar! Well, my hair does at least 😂💃🎸
I would have a blast in this store!!!
I just wish I could have access to that video game selection.
My favorite store in Japan! I wonder if this is the one I went to often in Osaka. It was also a super bazar. I always bought at least one thing every time I went. It’s hard to resist the 100 yen books and cheap in-box plamo
In wish you bought the 80s/90s jacket because you could wear it in future funny clips scenes in your videos. The jacket could be a funny running inside joke.
Yeah that biohazard two cartridge even here in the states is pretty hard to get. I have one and the big problem with those is a lot of times when you find them the safe function on the cartridge requires a small battery inside the cartridge and a lot of times the battery if it gets left in the cartridge it can damage the cartridge
I have that Super Famicom Chrono Trigger. It's actually easier to find and cheaper than the US release because they made more copies of it in Japan. I love that game, so I'm always happy to see it represented in any context. Put it on the Switch already Square/Nintendo!!!
Aww, I wanna go there!
THERE IS A 'BOOKOFF' STORE, THE ONLY ONE EAST OF CALIFORNIA, IN MIDTOWN MANHATTAN, I THINK ON 45 STREET BTW 5TH AND 6TH AVENUE.
IT IS MULTILEVEL WITH DISCOUNT BOOKS UPSTAIRS, MUSIC, GAMES, FIGURES, DVD, MUSIC INSTRUMENTS AND MORE ON GROUND LEVEL, AND JAPANESE COMICS AND BOOKS IN THE BASEMENT LEVEL.
Here in Australia we have the round SNES AKA Super Nintendo Entertainment System but we didn't have the NTSC mod we had the PAL, but i think there would have been NTSC with us knowin" . Would love to get a old polaroid camera from the 1970s or 1980s both are good years of really early TEC aka Technology.
Very nice and interesting video !
CHRONO TRIGGER IN THE BOX!
Seeing you guys stumble on Ryu ga Gotoku 8 while I'm playing Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth seems on the nose haha!
This is a dream thrift store!
Mrs Eats pronouncing Dreamcast hit me hard, hard, hard in the 1998 nostalgias. :)
History of video games... When I was a kid CD's in the early 90;s used to come in boxes twice their size, for some reason.
You should do a video to show Mrs. Eats all the Cheech and Chong movies! Love to hear what she thinks!
Chrono trigger still in the box 😮 you wouldn't see that in Ireland
Big yeah!
Theres a handful of these here in California. They even import some stuff from japan.
Gosh. I wish I could ask you to pick up one or more Gundam Unit 8cm Char's Zaku II for me. I like that small scale of figure because it works with war-gaming. But, If I had the funds to reimburse you, I could just find one online for myself.
I always like seeing thrift stores. Always looking to see if there's something that fills one of the little nostalgia collection gaps.
I cried laughing thinking of Mrs. Eats as a kid squeezing a fish to death and traumatizing her parents 🤣
A curiosity of mine is what do most Japanese people truly think if/when they see foreigners dressed as anime characters, walking on the street 🌸
This has the whole world in it.
She is so fun 🙂
😮😮😮😮😢😢😢😢 oh man so cool I wish they had this here in the US
Thank you.
Oh my goodness the prices on the video games are super cheap. I looked up some and compared. SM rpg is around 35 i think at that store, ebay wants 48 ish us dollars. Crazy how inexpensive 😢
Mrs. Eats' thumbnail... haha. She makes the crazy eye very believable.
Man that store looks awesome. I would be bankrupt
Hi! Which location of the Super Bazaar is this? I went to the one in Tachikawa but it was quite 'small' compared to this IKEA sized store.
I don’t know if it is this one, but there is one in Osaka that is fairly large too
Which Hard Off is this?? So many surfboards
duuude id die for the cheech n chong jacket :0
I need a real Wife that picks out Waifus stuff for me also, that's real love right there!
SAKURAKO = ORDER MONTHS IN ADVANCE OF ANY EVENT
I ordered a Sakurako box for Valentine's Day for my wife. Over a WEEK in advance.
They sent me and email that "you package shipped on FEBRUARY 16TH"!!!!
It did not arrive until Feb 27th!! VERY VERY disappointed with their awful delivery schedule.
NEVER AGAIN.
If you separated the store into just the electronics and collectibles, it would be similar to GameStop.
DO you have a store in Tokyo I can stop by, I want to buy a Kancho shirt
which book off is this?
Do they have a theme song(and by that I mean myriad of them)
Where does all this come from?
Are there just Warehouses in Japan full this merchandise held over the decades?
People/ donations?
Can you tell where this store is located? I want to go there! 😊
Japan 🇯🇵
Which store location is this?
I SEE MIKU CONTROLLER 👀
I want.
My family was in Japan in the early 90s bc my Dad was stationed at an AFB. My mother used to have a jacket just like the one Mrs.Eats tried on XD
I forget which forest in Japan it was in but we went camping at a forest in 95 and my mother wore that jacket then lol
Mr. Eats better sleep with one eye open or he's gona end up like that fishy! 😂
What city is this in and address?
This one looks like the one I went to often in Osaka. It’s at least a similar size
I think Mrs Eats just founded a One Piece 😂
anime merch and manga at a THRIFT STORE??
:3
i'd love to check that out!!!!!
