Hi everyone,

I will be in Tokyo in the coming months. I was wondering is it still possible to make money by buying things from Japan and resell it here? I am looking into suggestions of products that is viable.

If any of you have actually tried doing it or currently doing it, please do enlighten me little bro here 😁😁

Thanks in advance!

new helmet
used rare helmet
used branded bag..LV?
skII products

imported helmet need permit from JPJ.

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.

What are u trying to sell? i saw lots of girls dai gou cosmetics and foods

NEW ERA CAP

Japanese stuffs very cheap can earn a good profit here

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

japan very syiokkk

i wanna return every yearrr

okamoto dodom...cni byk mhl..3pcs rm30++..small,easy to bring + can be use for ownself..ohwai

Resell tyres quit good business. Japan is well know for automotive. Spare parts of certain cars too can consider

This is my second time this year 😜 just wanna try if i can earn half of the trip. I m no big spender, I will just stay in dorm hostel and eat at family mart every day 😂 Thought of doing it because I sold some of the stuff earning few hundred ringgits 😊

streetwear brand

BAPE
Neigborhood
Undercover

reselling streetwear can make profit if you know how to play the game

I would try to set up a UP Garage here if i were to go to that route.

Sure very high chance of earning profits. I have a friend that’s doing rn

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. BTW thanks for the suggestion

Buy the smallest thing that is the most expensive and most rare in Malaysia.

I was thinking of buying toys figure as I sold some and make a profit from it. Other than thought of I have thought of their clothing. Do you have any suggestions about the smaller thing that can be brought back and sell?

Maybe you can try grabean.
See what people want then help them buy.

Through platform u earn way way less

You try before? I have thought of that too.

Kitchen knife, the good ones are rare in Malaysia.

Buy helmet for me pls thanks

Kcar. Especially half cut Gino, Yrv, Mira.

Idk why i super like k car

Jom bug. Aku nak repeat third time 2021 ni.

My wife make money by buying stuff at Hard Rock Cafe. Simply post at Facebook and then open a wasap group to buy item for them.

You then proceed to buy other item. Example gshock. Put in a group so you can easily track your stuff.

Repeat other stuff ☺️

allahu
g area mana in 2021?

aku kalo g,next destination maybe tokyo
sbb da cover kyoto osaka in previous trip

First time pergi Tokyo dah. 5 hari jd 9 hari sebab anak kena chicken pox tak boleh balik flight 🤦🏻‍♂️ Nasib beli insurance tp pay and claim la. Doktor and pharmacist sana tak tau ckp English 🤣🤣🤣

Tak pernah pergi Osaka lg. berapa hari nak cover osaka dgn Kyoto tu bug? Apa tempat best dan cost? Hehe.

aku almost 9 hari kt sana
tp kyoto ko wajib spend masa lebih skit weh
worth every seconds & penny

osaka tu bandar metropolitan,ade je bende yg menarik tp nothing comparable to kyoto

cost aku xleh ckp sgt,sbb aku punye trip xde la budget sgt,easily reach 4k

90% Japan online does't offer direct shipping to Malaysia.
You can offer your address and act as middleman. Earn from postage fees to Malaysia.

saw some used items on amazon

wonder how the quality

If buying from seller and not shop, it can be a bit of hit and miss - but, Amazon has more reputable listings than some of the other platforms from personal experience

some items that you can resell or consume..

Yes. Some product / brand in here sell much more expensive than Japan.

Middle man margin huge deep.

this is true, went there a few times and most friends and family always ask to buy those things to bring back as souvenirs.

yes i am aware normally they will put term like "used-very good" for amazon

but how about mandarake since all like second hand items?
