Japan's giant second-hand chain. TCGs are one of many categories (anime goods, games, figures). Prices can surprise either way.

By Tomoki — Osaka Pokemon TCG proxy buyer
Editor's Take

Japan's biggest second-hand chain — TCGs are only one section, but the sheer scale means occasional bargain finds you won't see at specialist shops. Tax-free is a plus if you're already stacking anime goods, games, or figures into the same purchase.

    This might not be as helpful but I spent about 3-4 days roaming around Denden town the last time I was in Osaka and went to secondhand shops like Surugaya, K-Books, Lashinbang and Mandarake. I say this is not helpful because this is basically a treasure hunt 😭
