Second hand shops, where are they?

[Informer]

Hi I need help in locating second hand parts around Tokyo.

[Rezz]

Yahoo Auctions! ... aaaaah... thats all I can say.

[funkymonkey]

There's autobacs second used parts shops... lemme whip out my option mags n get you some addresses.

[Rezz]

Why drive about seaching for stuff at shops when you got oodles of parts right there on the monitor, at ridiculous prices and gets sent straight to your door?

*edit: I got some parts (namely my wheels/tyres) from Seco-han Ichiba, so it is worth checking out...

[Rezz]

Shan's taking his sweet time so...

Autobacs "Seco-han Ichiba" in:

Chiba

Hachiouji City

...and Autobacs Seco-han Ichiba website

meh serious lack of effort on my part right now... just spent the whole day under my ae86 pulling it all apart to do some paint stripping. I'm all greased up and turped

I love those seco-han shops also option conducts bi monthly (i think) swap meets for used parts too... maybe someone with the latest option mag can find out the venue of the next one (mines still in the mail methinks)

I'd buy stuff from seco-han shops and the swap meets when I wanna see stuff and check their quality (turbines, electronics etc) before I bought em and din wanna rely on 3 pics

Checking out the option mag may be a good idea, thanks but no love dood :-)

on the subject of 2nd hand, is it true that they chuck out their not so old TV and PC's? A friend who taught in Japan says people there just throw them out, you can basically pick up a reasonably new TV & PC that are in excellent working condition.

[lwells]

In terms of online stuff, there is: http://parts.auto-g.jp/ . There is another online site, but I can't remember it. Anyone know? They sponsor some dori-dori AE86 (yes, very specific, I know)?

Edit: I found it http://www.upgarage.com/

Depends on what you class as "reasonably new"... you'd most likely see (in Osaka) those old black non-flatscreen TVs lying about, say 50cm screen... that type of thing. Silver flatscreens are still worth something so it's unlikely that you'll see them on the street. Plasmas? Hahaha...

Hey thanks!

This and Yahoo BB is great, but I prefer to check out the items in person than order something over then net.

You can pick up a mass of unwanted bicycles. I've seen tvs, microwave ovens and stuff like that, but a lot of them may not work properly. Japanese used to throw fairly new stuff out, but not anymore.

[funkymonkey]

yeah up garage has shitloads of shops around japan, but I thought they dealt in new stuff

Dunno when the next one is, but you should check out the next Osaka Custom garage swap meet, its pretty big and there's plenty of bargains to be had. I got a mate of mine to pick up some stuff for my 180sx from there a couple of years ago.

Up garage and parts off are my favorites, not sure of where exactly they are at in the Tokyo area since I stick to the ones around here. If your up for a road trip head to Up garage in Machida on route 16, it's their main store in Tokyo/Yokohama so it's pretty big.

Otherwise check out their sites to locate the closest one to you:

You guys are tops!!!

Heres a beer for you all :

I agree with informer - yahoo is great, but the luxury of seeing the gear in the flesh is worth the hassle of venturing out to the stores. Out of 3 or 4 things I've bought on yahoo - only one has been EXACTLY the condition listed by the seller (and that was a new item!).

I've been to the upgarage near chiba station - not bad, though pretty small. Plenty of skyline stuff when I went there.

In my area, stores I've also been to garage-off (good store) and autobacs second hand. Still haven't managed to navigate to the local up.
