Merry Christmas, Gaffers! It's that time of year: when I go back to my family's house in the US with an empty suitcase that I would just love to fill up with hard-to-find Japanese game-related stuff that I can put in the hands of my fellow Gaffers.
I will fly back to New Jersey on
December 18, and will ship stuff the next day. I've done this in each of the last three years and made many people very happy, particular JRPG fans.
All prices
include US shipping (plus my lugging them up and down subway stairwells and airports).
Prices are below market/eBay, though I give bigger discounts for things that are light and easy to carry and small/no discounts for stuff that I will get hernias trying to carry. ^_^; I prefer PayPal Gift, but will also take Amazon Payments. I'm looking for discounted PSN and Amazon credit (and will buy large amounts of it at 90% of face value), so let me know if you want to offer that.
(If you live outside the US, I can ship things to you directly from Japan, and would ask for the difference in postage -- an additional $7 for the Ultimania-sized monster books, $4 for the medium-size stuff. If you buy
only CDs, I can probably send those worldwide at
no additional cost if you don't mind slow SAL shipping.)

Final Fantasy XI 4-Panel Manga Japanese-English Bilingual Intro to MMORPGs - 15
(I bought this to familiarize myself with MMORPG jargon before starting FFXIV. Each page contains the same 4-panel manga story with English on the left and Japanese on the right. A fantastic learning tool if you're studying Japanese, and as someone who needed to learn MMORPG slang in *English*, I loved this book.)
