All our listings are listed as on hand inventory items. Which means we only list items that we have them in stock. We use inventory sync software to manage our inventory to prevent selling more than we have in our inventory since we sell on Ebay as well. So most likely we will have the items that you order. However, rarely human and/or system error may happen because we list inventory by hand. When we find out we don’t have the item you ordered, we will contact you and refund the money you paid right away

Now we are offering a “Waitlist” service so that we can get the item(s) for that that has already sold and out of stock. All you need is to join a waitlist to receive an email from us when the item becomes available to purchase. You can find “Join Waitlist” columns on out of stock item pages that has “Out of Stock” icon.

Waitlist is new service that we are offering now. It is basically a queue that you can receive an email from us when the item is back in stock. We have so many games and many games go out of stock quickly. By offering this service, we can keep track of games you want to get and we can prioritize games that we restock. If you have games you are looking for but happened to be out of stock, we strongly recommend you to join Waitlist.

Yes. We receive personal request all the time. Since we imports our inventory from Japan and we have rigid suppliers who live in Japan, we are able to fulfill your request most of the time. Please email us about game title, game system, and your budget. We will try our best to find them for you in very reasonable price. Our email address is [email protected]
