The problem
Japan has the world’s best-value used gear. You just can’t see it.
✕ Price
The cheap stock and rare finds live on Yahoo Auctions, Mercari & Map Camera — in Japanese, behind a domestic-only wall. You’re guessing if an eBay price is fair.
✕ Condition
“Near mint” doesn’t always mean mint. Fungus, haze, sticky aperture, dead light meters — described in shorthand you can’t verify.
✕ Trust
Which seller, which proxy, what customs cost? One wrong call and you’ve overpaid for a lens that needs a CLA.
What you get
A Japan-market desk in your pocket.
Not another generic price tracker. Japan-specific intelligence plus an engineer’s eye on condition — the two things that decide whether you win or overpay.
01 / PRICE
Real Japan price
What a body or lens actually sells for in Japan right now — so you instantly know if an eBay listing is a deal or a markup.
02 / GRADING
Engineer-grade checks
Read condition like a pro: fungus vs haze, shutter wear, sensor & electronics — and whether a specific listing is a buy.
03 / ALERTS
Deal & restock alerts
Tell us the models you want. Get pinged when a clean copy lists at the right price in Japan.
04 / SOURCING
Trusted sourcing
Which proxies and sellers to use, customs & import demystified — the safe path from Japan to your door.

Who’s building this
An engineer in Japan who buys this gear.
Production/manufacturing engineer based near Tokyo — optics, mechanics, electronics. I read the Japanese market every day and grade gear the way I’d inspect a part on the line. This is the tool I wished existed.
