Can you elaborate?
How much are they going for? That's a tempting gift idea I know for someone
You can get a whole bunch of Japan only or JDM items on Yahoo Japan via intermediaries (Buyer, ZenMarket, etc). But the purchasing process can be confusing at times and you are relying on Google translate as Yahoo.jp isn't designed as an international facing marketplace.
Miyoo is $80-90 AUD ($50ish USD) on Choice deal at the moment and is the best quality one (can play up to PS1 games). Is pretty much a portable RetroPi that can be loaded with ROMs easily. There are numerous models less than that though with a fair few at the $15 AUD mark, but with lower grade hardware and thus only emulate early Nintendo/SEGA and can only play the preloaded games.
Can you give me an example on some of the price discounts you have gotten specifically from Yahoo.jp? Is it only specific to some niche things like watches, or are there all sorts of great deals?
Trying to figure out if I need/want to dive into this.
