There's no reason you should be paying their prices for most of this stuff, though - in particular, I see no reason to pay $60+ for the older Beatmania games when you can find them in mint or near-mint condition for $30-$40.

Toys'n'Joys is generally a last resort. None of the old IIDX games are THAT hard to find; just watch Bemanistyle and/or eBay for a week or so.

Riot, in case you're serious:
(1) American is not a language.
(2) Which game?

True, their prices usually aren't good. I said that, in fact. It's a decent alternative for people who don't want to buy off random people they don't know on a forum and dislike ebay for one reason or another.

Fair enough. You did say that their prices are "not the best," I just felt compelled to quantify - it seems like a bit of an understatement for a 100% premium.

Wait, since when do you actually buy things from people on forums? I can't imagine that anyone from IndyDDR has ANYTHING in their Bemani collection you don't (save maybe Brian, who's special), much less anything they feel like selling, and while I guess it's conceivable for the BYOAC folks, there aren't very many Bemani specialists there.

That said, I stick with eBay and people I semi-somewhat know from forums, and I actually do actively buy this stuff. So I encourage the importers of tomorrow to try it, too.
