A Japanese Equivalent of OzBargain?

sol3x on 20/06/2015 - 14:23

Hi all,

I just think this would be an interesting topic.
Does anyone know if there's a Japanese Equivalent of OzBargain, where people post and share deals/bargains in Japan? (in Japanese of course)

I'm going there for a few weeks and hope I can use this opportunity to hunt down some bargains while I'm there.

This thread could benefit anyone who's travelling to Japan or Aussies living there.

Thanks heaps.

    Try googling 'cheapskate guide to Japan'. I found some useful tips on several of the blogs.

    http://kakaku.com/ is apparently a useful price comparison website

    but don't forget Amazon shopping is popular there too, so many bargains can be had if you shop online as well as in Akihabara.

      Kakaku will only list the major stores or a few registered smaller stalls that have a website. Most of the time there are bargains to be had, but funny enough I eventually discovered that even the major stores will have different prices in-store (read: cheaper) than their online price.

      Thanks scrimshaw.
      I know kakaku.com and it's a useful website but it's more like 'statice.com.au' which just does price comparison.

      I'd like to see a site that bargains are posted by local individuals.

    FJ's search is good as it covers new and used prices. I found Royal Orient prices a lot cheaper than kakaku. Try WE0041EK.

      Thanks langh.
      FJ looks more like a shopping site though, not really a 'OZB' kind of site.
