BagOfCrisps 24 Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Do Japanese rent much stuff in their daily lives? For example, tv sets? Lots of people here still rent tv sets and that way can pretty much get the latest every year at very little extra cost. Good idea actually especially with technology stuff that changes so quick?

peterson 0 Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I've not heard of renting tvs here. Lots of dress up occasion clothes are rented. Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 don't rent a tuxedo here! They wanted to charge me 13 man for 1 day! I think my friend recently paid up to 20man for his (at his wedding) Link to post Share on other sites
Hokkaidough 4 Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 20 man?! That is just ridiculous, what was it made of gold? Link to post Share on other sites
me jane 0 Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Me Tarzan needed a tux for some party we went to. It cost us half the price to buy from abroad than to rent in Japan. Those wigs the girls wear at weddings cost 7 man to rent for just a few hours. It's strange how Japanese are so happy to rent clothes but are anti-second-hand goods in general. There are companies that rent out all the stuff to furnish an apartment, especially kitchen things and aircons. I've seen them advertised at estate agents. They are really expensive though.

Kumapix 0 Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I did the same Me jane. I measured myself and got my brother in the states to buy me a tux. It's a good quality one on sale for 200$. I then took it to a highend department store and got it fitted for 3000yen. or I could have rented for 4 hours for 13man.hmmm tough choice! Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Id say many Japanese blokes here probably rent girls. Dont blame em either... why buy it when you know its going to break down or something better will come out? Link to post Share on other sites
