Second-hand DVD shops in Tokyo

Hi Mika,

If you're based in Japan and have an internet connection, it's much easier 
to get good quality second-hand DVDs from internet auction sites such as 
Yahoo Japan and Rakuten. More often than not they're cheaper, and there's a 
far more diverse selection available.

Alternatively, I'd recommend the Recofan chain of second-hand music stores. 
Most branches have a DVD section, and the biggest one that I know of is the 
Shibuya Beam store (there are three Recofan branches in Shibuya alone) 
which has about 10,000 in stock according to their homepage.

Prices are reasonable too, especially in comparison to major chain store 
Book Off which often charges close to retail price for some second-hand 
DVDs. Recofan also give you 100 yen off second-hand stuff if you become a 
member, which costs nothing. Maybe I should ask them for an extra discount 
next time for all the free publicity I'm giving them. But definitely check 
out the net auction sites if you can.
