  1. Same #hardoff, same price. Big Gundam fan here. Used to play with Gunpla when I was young too (after getting bored with cars and planes). Love the anime how the good are not always good and the bad are not always bad (not the ones made for kids).

  2. Terminator 2 LaserDisc Single. No idea what is on it, can only store 20mins of video. But hey, it was there for ¥100 and I don't have any LD Singles yet. Found at #hardoff JUNK section. And when I went to pay for it, I got a nice suprise...

  3. PC-Engine Core Grafx II. The best looking #pcengine? Found this in the back of a JUNK shelf at #hardoff. Sold as "JUNK" because it doesn't come with an AV cable and PSU. Gas from the cable melted the case on the bottom a bit before they repacked it. Can't hurt to have 1 more...

    JPY 11000

  4. HORI PlayStation Pocket Controller. Made for kids? Actually feels quite nice in my hands (I don't have big hands). The buttons are a little translucent, but are not glow-in-the-dark. And it is very discoloured. We did see this controller in other #hardoff too, so it was kind of common?

    JPY 300

  5. I will will continue this post as a thread of all (or most) of the items I bought on the game hunting trip to Kyushu, Japan. I will try to list the prices of the items as well so you can get an idea what is being asked for which items. #gamehunting #retrogaming #hardoff

  10. In the previous #hardoff we found these HuCard looking cards for #msx by #hudsonsoft. 2 of my friends each got one, Bomberman and Final Soldier. When we looked it up later we found out there was an adapter that goes into the cart slot and the "Bee Cards" would then go in there. And see what we found here!

  11. #hardoff Yamada, #kyushu. Not as much as Shingu, but some special stuff. Hello Kitty #dreamcast, #superfamicom Box in very good condition! Really not buying anything this time. #gamehunting #retrogaming

  16. #hardoff Shingu, #kyushu. They have a LOT here, showcase full of #shmups. Al dunes for #sgx, Magical Chase, Download 2 and lots more. Also a lot of non-showcase #pcengine games, but most over ¥3000, not in my budget. My friend Shahmups is buying Aldynes and a few more. #gamehunting #retrogaming

  18. Stopped at a #hardoff in Nakama on our way to Fukuoka. Nothing much here, just one super Famicom in the junk section. They did have a huge Metroplex! #kyushu #gamehunting #transformers

  20. Hit a #hardoff with a book off next to it. The bookoff didn't have much, Hard-Off was also meager. But one of my friends bought a PSVR1 as "JUNK" for ¥2200. Works, but the cushion foam was no longer good. #gamehunting #retrogaming

  21. Slow day, already 15:00 and we only just visited the first #hardoff of the day. Big one, but very little inside. I did find Zero 4 Champ RR for #snes. No high serial Super Famicoms unfortunately, still looking for a 1CHIP to replace my probably broken one. I also got a #pcengije mini USB PSU.

  22. Ummm… WTF???

    (this one is getting its own thread once I get it home and take a closer look)

  23. Went to #HARDOFF to pick something up, and ran across this beauty… a #Palm IIIc for $15! Complete with a keyboard, Pilot Pentopia stylus, modem, mobile phone data adapter and a pair of chargers.

    The store description said "the display is somewhat dark” but I think the staff just don’t know how to adjust the brightness on a Palm, after long-pressing the power button and adjusting it up it looks gorgeous!

    Power and Datebook buttons are stiff. Puffy battery?

  24. When I used to read Record Collector, I loved the look of the Japanese CD singles, but couldn't justify the price.

    So when I went to #Japan, I had to buy one. The joy of #HardOff!

  25. Probably the last #hardoff i get to visit on this trip. This one was near Koenji station (Tokyo),was very small and had very little #retrogaming wise. We did have some really good udon in the neighbourhood. So still a score!

  26. A working laser disc player for $35... If only I had the space.

  27. Meet the Human Test (ヒューマンテスト)

    Ran across this odd device at #HARDOFF and snapped a shot. Went to my favorite haunt for a drink that evening and discussed it with a friend who works the bar there, and she got really excited to play with it so I went back the next day and picked it up

    Together we couldn’t find a single mention on this device online by name or the HARD OFF label 「診断機」, which intrigued me. There’s also no reference to a manufacturer on or in the device

  28. I love this YouTube channel. "Hard Off" is a chain of used stuff stores in Japan.

    This guy is a manager at one store, and is making videos of himself playing covers of Japanese hits using junk-level instruments. This is one of his most popular videos, where he turns the "ham it up" dial to 11, a cover of "Rusty Nail":

  29. I just found the motherlode of ground pin adapter plugs!

  30. I have a confession to make!

    About a month, ago, I bought my first Windows PC…

    I've bought PC parts to build a Linux server once before but this is the first time buying a PC with a Windows license

    I was at #HARDOFF browsing and found this laptop for 500 yen and realized I only own one computer (and a Synology)

    I bought it to have something to bring when I don't want to risk my $3000 MacBook Pro (like out drinking)

    It came with no RAM/HDD but those were easy to find at the same store
