Also what's it like with essentially no tourists there? It'd be really funny if Super Potato went out of business with no French and UAE buyers to gouge. I get the feeling from people I know in Japan that there's a sort of tenuous sensation of decline not necessarily caused by the pandemic but certainly accelerated by it. But then the people who move to Japan tend to be a little moodier anyway.

I kind of couldn't believe it. But now I'm looking at ebay prices and the prices I'm seeing here are maybe half of ebay? or 1/3? this platform sure did go bonkers at some point. Maybe I should finally buy Cotton while I'm out here. (n/t) from exodus.

well, guess what, plenty of tourists arrived for TGS and Super Potato, like clockwork, raised the price of that Coryoon I'd been eyeing by 20k yen, so they certainly expected the foreigners to arrive. I wound up having to go there a couple times because a lot of other shops have folded and every time it was full of caucasians, so whatever white folks do arrive in japan, they go to super potato.
