I have a few moments here at the 'Smile' Hostel to let you know about how I am doing shopping for AV DVDs in Tokyo.
The store where I have done very well is, of all places, Don Quijote. :whisper:
The one where I shopped before (in Shibuya
) had more shrink-wrapped packs of three AV DVDs for ¥999. I bought some there.
I went to the Donki in Shinjuku - and it had no AVs at all.y:
Two days ago, I was strolling around Ueno, and found another Donki.
Ohmigawd. It had some shrink-wraps for ¥999, but also other shrink-wraps containing five AVs for ¥1,480.
Combined, I bought fifty-four AVs at the two Donkis. Donki takes credit cards.
I spent considerable time in Shinjuku. I found the Maps-and-porn store which Steve Schultz refers to on his website. Its DVD prices were average: nothing cheaper than ¥500. But yes; there are stacks reaching up to the ceiling; many AV VHS' (but they're from the mid-1990s, not as old as S. Schultz thought), and those could be a bargain, if you can somehow manage to cram them into your luggage. [10 / ¥3,000] I am not buying any VHS'.
Two places I will let you know about, and I hope you can keep this on the semi-quiet; are a book store (-a real bookstore-) in Shinjuku which was blowing out a clutch of junior idol AVs for ¥380. I obtained seven.
Lastly (for now), while shopping along Hasukan Dori, {the all-used-porn avenue} just off Hasukan, is a store where all the old rental VHS' and DVDs go to die. Its name is "LINK". This is the zinbo shop. There are six other shops in this chain.
This shop is very confusing to try and figure out just what an AV costs. The deal here, again, is the bound packages.
It offered ten AV DVDs for ¥2,100.
Here's the semi-secret part:
It also had a bound package of eleven AVs by Garo Aida for ¥2,310.
Quit stammering. Of course I bought it. Just don't say anything until I get them back to my domicile.
Obviously, I need somebody I can trust here with my identification data on Akiba-Online. I have no access to a duplication machine; and my regular internet connection [a v.90 modem] is way too slow to even contemplate bit torrent. Someone who has this, and who will possess a reasonable physical distance from me, should wind up with these DVDs. (Send them back when you finish ripping them.)
I have broken down all the cases. I have all the inserts in a separate envelope from the DVDs. (They are all in sleeves, which were also bought at Donki. Do you get the impression that when you come here, Donki is a place where you should go?)
I will leave Tokyo on the 17th. If you wish to repond to me personally, I recommend a private message. If you just want to drool about how well I have done buying AVs cheaply in Tokyo, that you can respond here.
