rachael 0 Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 I have an old computer and some other equipment I am thinking of getting rid of and wondering if the trip to Hard Off or similar shop is worth the journey. Does anyone have any experience with one of these shops and do they actually pay you anything decent at all? Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
jared 0 Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 I dont know about for sure but my guess is that since they sell stuff pretty cheaply that they buy if for next to nothing. Think of it as compensated garbage disposal. I have a pile of car audio sitting at home in NZ cos it wasnt worth selling it, I can only assume that Japan want to pay even less than NZers for seccond hand stuff. Try selling it online at one of the gaijin in japan type sites - at least youll cut out the middle man. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 They'll give you very little, but if you want something out of the way - better than nothing? Link to post Share on other sites

fukdane 2 Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 Only big things that bobby12, it is here anyways. I've picked up some decent things there, I can't imaging they give you much with the prices of things that you buy from them, Link to post Share on other sites
badmigraine 0 Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 OK, if nobody else can be bothered to say it, then I'll go ahead and take care of it. "I don't know about Hard Off, but you might have better luck with Hard On." There. Now I can move on... Link to post Share on other sites
