moonbeams Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 The yen has tanked. Anything listed on Discogs in yen is now 30% cheaper than it was a few weeks ago. Now is a great time to buy from Japan. ShagCarpetGuy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroNowhere Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 It’s awesome. Been buying a ton from Japan recently. Same with the Euro as stated above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParallelofDeath Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Economy shipping from Japan can take 2-3 months. In other words, faster than the average pre-order. Totally worth it. whoa, poweredbytrust, ShagCarpetGuy and 6 others 1 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Thanks for the heads up! Anytime I’ve bought from Japan in recent years they’ve all used DHL and it’s here in days. I had an order show up in two days once! (And the shipping was always under $20) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somethingvinyl Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Posting in a Moonbeams thread. I dream of a record person taking a shit ton of money from me to buy a load of Japanese pressings with OBI's whenever they see them cheap and can get me a bunch and ship them to me.

In the before-COVID times, every time as buddy of mine in a touring band would go to Japan, I'd have them go record shopping for me. Japan is my absolute bucket-list vacation spot and honestly, it's largely because of the record stores.

I've been 2 times and managed to hit around100 stores in Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. The big flea market in Tokyo at the race track is also a killer place to find records. I could go on all day. Japan is my favorite place on earth. Edited August 11 by ZeroNowhere somethingvinyl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would be so much to do, but all I'd want to do is go to record stores lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
