Trader2 — Local services in Tokyo

One of the best places to go if you’re looking for cheap figures, not as cheap as book off but some are cheaper than the majority of the neighborhood even the opened ones… despite the fact that this store doesn’t offer tax free some of the items are pretty cheap.

Stock is quite volatile and you might want to check multiple times to find a good deal, I’ve visited this store quite a couple of times over the years and I always find something to get.

No!” I don't know what I have done to deserve that kind of behaviour, however I know that I won't be going back...
