  3. Hi, we’re having some money problems and my husband has reluctantly agreed to let me sell some of his figures, cards, and stickers online but he doesn’t want me to tell him which I’m selling since it’s hard for him to let them go. Does anyone know where the best place would be to see how much each is worth? Apparently some of the stickers are worth quite a lot. Also I’m fluent in Japanese but I don’t really know what words are used when selling (like with Pokémon cards there’s shadowless cards, mint condition, etc) is there a guide for this (in Japanese) anywhere?

  4. I really like the slice of meat they put on top of every ramen. I eat ramen just for that. Please tell me. Is there anywhere I can get a plate of ramen meat slices

  5. Tokyo specific question, but I’m thinking of moving to Ebisu. It seems like it has great train line access, particularly for the Minato area and is also super close to Shibuya. Anyone who has experience living there have any thoughts or recommendations?

  6. Does anyone have any idea when used car prices should come back down (if ever)?

  7. How is your user experience when you switched from your physical suica card into a digital suica in your phone?

  8. Is it going to be a problem when all the bills change next year for all the pos systems that have become automated?

    Still surprised how often my new 500 yen coins aren’t accepted at some vending machines and parking lot machines.

  9. I’m looking for a shop that could do some easy fix work on a leather bag. No idea where to start or even what to Google for. Any advice?

  10. I also need to have the battery in a couple of my ⌚ changed, any random shop do that or should I look for something specific?

  11. Now that Tokyo is warm enough for sandals, my feet feel dirty *constantly*. I wash them when I come inside but I still feel dirty. Is there something I’m missing?

  12. Looking to place a carpet on bedroom and living room,whats the best way to cover whole floor?
    Is tile carpet good? I am bit concern about if it will stick on floor. The floor is of wooden flooring.

  13. Do hair salons typically not use toners on bleached hair here or am I just going to the wrong salons?

  14. What’s with all the “small dick energy” Japanese men who have super loud motorbikes that love riding around in the middle of the night and waking everyone up?

  15. Is there a website to look for jobs in foreign companies that aren’t located in Tokyo?

    Looking for a new job in the IT sector, I have been working for a Japanese company for 2 years and I would rather a foreign wester company but I’m a bit reluctant to live in Tokyo (tho not totally ruled out, I just would rather live somewhere else, with all due respect to Tokyo people here you guys are kinda too crazy lol)

  16. Any recommendations on cheap waterproof/resistant hiking pants?
    Any outlets that sell wetsuits (free diving/scuba)?

  17. Anyone else nuking their accounts in response to Reddit going full Twitter in preparation for their IPO?

    Sometimes you guys have been crazy, but it’s been a wild ride, thanks for all the fish. See some of you on Lemmy maybe.

  18. Just saw a HUGE snake in the middle of minato-ku, right at a running/cycling route. Wanted to call somewhere to move her somewhere safe, but couldn’t find anywhere. Any suggestions?
    I’m sure the snake is inoffensive and just doing their snake things, just worried it won’t get hit by a bicycle or something.

  19. How come when I breathe out like “whoooooooo” my breath feels hot?

    But when I breathe out like “heeeeeeeeeey” My breath doesn’t feel hot?

    Keeps me up at night.

  20. Anyone having undergone ESWL or TUL surgery here?
    please share experiences. I’m still a student.
    I’m nervous about pretty much everything from the effectiveness, pain, recovery, and cost.

  21. Curious, how much are eggs right now where y’all are

    It’s about 280-350 per 10 in Tochigi rn and I hate it

  22. **Did some agent ever visit your home to sell you a Soft Bank Air Rental Router plan?**

    Tbf I hate my current dorm’s internet service provider plan, so I took up this SoftBank agent’s offer. But is this a common occurrence? I thought only NHK men do house visits.
