Bookoff like store in Taipei?

[Polyrhythm]

So I may be going to Taiwan this summer...here in LA we have Bookoff....a store that sells authentic Japanese used CDs...anyone know any similar stores in Taipei that sell Japanese used (or) CDs and goods? I don't want products licensed to sell in Taiwan. I want actual Japanese versions. Thanks

Haha I'm going too, so I may accidentally meet you somewhere

But I would love to know this too! I found some shops, but it doesn't say if they sell Japanese CDs >_<

^LOL 12 hour flights...mosquito bites...sweaty-sleepless nights...what's not to love?

Not to mention not being able to breathe at all. I am definitely spoiled by SoCal weather. I'll be in Taipei only though....I have to do an internship -____-

I asked my Taiwanese friend & she said there're very few if not very little of such Book Off ish shops in Taiwan that sell 2nd hand Japanese items

Even if so , she will not recommend you to go as they're not very reliable . Most Taiwanese would rather buy 2nd hand items from the 2 major Taiwanese online sites

Which're :

- http://www.ruten.com.tw/
- http://tw.bid.yahoo.com/

My friend has a friend who went to such a store a while back ago but in the end , she gave up as the place was so run down if not very messy

^Oh I've never heard of ruten. I'll check it out for sure. Thanks Karen!
