Sound familiar?
If even one of these hits home, we built this tool for you.
You bought a figure on eBay only to find it was cheaper on Amazon Japan
You received a counterfeit and had no idea until unboxing
You wanted to import from Japan but could not calculate the total cost
You spent hours comparing prices across eBay, Amazon JP, and proxy sites
You missed a deal because you did not know the market price
You overpaid because you did not factor in shipping, proxy fees, and customs
Why price comparison is broken for anime collectors.
It is not your fault. The tools just do not exist yet.
eBay prices include hidden markups
Resellers buy from Japan at retail and mark up 30-60%. You cannot see the original price without checking Japanese sources yourself.
