eBay isn't really popular in Japan, but Yahoo Auctions is huge over there. It's the Japanese equivalent of eBay and you can find all kinds of vintage radios, TVs, electronics or whatever else you're looking for. While I'm not sure how shipping things to Germany would work, there are many Japanese companies that will bid on Yahoo Japan auctions for you and handle the shipping to the USA. They also translate the auctions from Japanese to English. A great site for browsing the Japanese Yahoo Auctions is http://yahoo.aleado.com. Hope this is helpful! Tim |

I have also found a lot of listings are Yahoo Auctions.
For large stuff like televisions however I've found it's far too expensive to ship. The slightly more practical way is to find a friend who is going to import a car from Japan, arrange delivery to the car importer and most will cram the boxes in the car for a fee but then the weight is accumulated onto the freight to ship the car which has a lower per-pound shipping rate. |

I know it's far more complex to do here. If I recall, the only practical way to bring a car over is if it's a classic. Which means it has to be at least 30 years old to count. |

I can tell you from first hand experience that exporting televisions out of Russia and Japan are EXTREMELY difficult. It took me over a year to get a television out of Russia and would not have been able to do it without the incredibly selfless help of two different collectors in Moscow. Japan is even harder. I can tell you there is no real ebay japan, but the auction site to follow is auctions.yahoo.co.jp . This is by far the most used site in Japan. As mentioned here already there are services that will buy from yahoo on your behalf and ship to you, but televisions can be tricky so be careful and make sure you can actually get the set to you before you go forward. If in the end you do end up finding a way to get something out of Japan please let me know how you did it as I would love to have a National 7T-5310 for my collection.
Good luck!

Tenso, Buyee.jp, and Aleado are the first three buying services that come to mind. What they do is bid on or buy the item, box it up, and then give you a quote on shipping via multiple carriers. After that, you pay them and your purchase is on its way. A Google search should return a bunch of others. I've used both Aleado and Buyee before. It pays to research them before you use their services, the fees vary greatly between companies. Tim |
