    yeah electronics. Would be a little weird to import thrash cans... oh and I used to import cars too. Yahoo Auction Japan is a gold mine.

    Welcome aboard Joseph86

    You bet it is!

    But I've noticed that many sellers on YaJ sell their stuff quite expensive though, they must know that people from outside Japan found a way to buy stuff here using a japanese middleman :(

    I imported Celicas and MR2s, but not a single Supra. I drove one, great drive, but a lot more expensive.

    MR2 was another one on the hit list but, lack of cargo space was a big deal breaker.
    Haha, they're not cheap to maintain either.
