If any of you have actually tried doing it or currently doing it, please do enlighten me little bro here ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

Wanna ride mainstream wave? Buy G-SHOCK watches. Do some research on more sought-after models. Rare JDM ones too.

Japan-branded toys like Takara Tomy, Epoch, Tamiya are considerably cheap there. Even after conver to RM. Cheap as in half-price from TRU and Hamley's here.

Also, Hello Kitty merchandise. Even at the street market also they're selling the original Sanrio's one.

Some shop offers tax-free purchase for tourist provided you show them your passport, so asked them on that. VAT in Japan is 8%, that's quite a lot.

Popular concept. But usually you get your buyers first and what they want - compile a list and then only go hunt in Japan. But you gotta know Japan well enough to know whether the item is commonly available, estimated cost etc and then calculate your luggage space, exchange rate, profit blabla. Have not done it and won't be doing so... too much trouble. With a trip there, i'd be happier spending the time there for ownself, and luggage space for my snacks biggrin.gif

Hahaha i think this not for me. I assume that I need a huge sum of capital for this. I am looking into things like daily goods, toys or fashion but have not much idea on what to really bring back. confused.gif BTW thanks for the suggestion biggrin.gif
