selling video games?

Hi

I collect video games. I have some japanese stuff I want to get rid of that's not worth much outside of Japan. As I'm going to Tokyo next week, I thought that perhaps I could bring it and sell it to a second hand game store or something.

I know here in Australia, you need to provide proof of residence to sell things second hand. Is that the case in Japan?

And is this something that might be too tough without speaking the language?

It might depend on the store, but I think it is the same. I've sold various things to Book Off and similar stores, and they always make you write down an address. I think also that most of these places don't have any English speakers, so it'd be the luck of the draw whether you get help.

Have you considered selling online instead? Plenty of people are interested in Japanese items, and you might find you can sell them more easily in Australia than in Japan.
