Are you looking for a reliable sourcing agent based in Japan with direct access to dealer auctions and auto auctions? I help overseas buyers source products from Japan — including used cars, vintage goods, retro items, and general merchandise — through professional dealer networks that are not open to the public. Most sourcing agents in Japan rely on public platforms like Mercari or Yahoo Auctions. I do not. I work through professional dealer-only networks, wholesale markets, and physical auction houses that require a license and established relationships to access. This means better prices, better inventory, and access to stock that never appears online. --- What sets me apart: Licensed secondhand dealer (古物商許可証): Holding an active secondhand dealer license allows me to legally participate in dealer-only auctions and wholesale markets across Japan. This is not something anyone can obtain overnight — it requires formal registration with local authorities and compliance with Japanese law. It is the foundation of everything I do. USS Kobe auto auction membership: USS is one of Japan's largest and most trusted auto auction networks. As a registered member, I can search, bid, and purchase vehicles on your behalf. I provide full auction sheet translations, detailed photo reports, and honest condition assessments before you commit to any purchase. Japan's used vehicles are known worldwide for their quality and reliability — and I can help you access them at auction prices, not retail. Physical dealer auction access (道具市場): I have direct, established access to dealer-only markets in Japan where vintage goods, retro electronics, antiques, collectibles, and general merchandise are traded in volume. These markets are invisible to the general public and require both a license and ongoing relationships to participate in. I have been buying and selling through these channels for years. 12+ years of Japanese e-commerce experience: Since 2012, I have been operating a multi-channel e-commerce business on Amazon Japan and Yahoo Auctions. I understand how Japanese products are graded, priced, and described. I know what sells, what to avoid, and how to assess value quickly and accurately. In-house multilingual team: I work with a small operations team that includes English-speaking and Chinese-speaking staff. This means you get clear, timely communication regardless of the language you work in. No delays, no miscommunication. --- How I work: Step 1 — Brief You tell me what you are looking for: item type, target condition, quantity, and budget. The more specific you are, the better I can search for you. Step 2 — Search I search through dealer auctions, wholesale networks, and physical markets. For auto auctions, I run searches across USS Kobe's inventory and flag matching vehicles with auction sheets. Step 3 — Report Before any purchase, I send you a detailed condition report with photos. For vehicles, I translate the auction sheet into English and add my own assessment. You decide whether to proceed. Step 4 — Purchase & Preparation Once you approve, I handle the purchase. I prepare the goods for pickup or work with your nominated freight forwarder to arrange export. I do not handle international shipping directly, but I can coordinate with your logistics partner. --- What I can source for you: Used vehicles: Any make or model available through USS Kobe. I specialize in finding clean, well-documented vehicles at competitive auction prices. Popular categories include JDM sports cars, kei trucks, camper vans, and low-mileage daily drivers. Vintage & retro goods: Retro game hardware and software, vintage electronics, antique tools, collectibles, and general secondhand goods sourced from dealer-only markets. Consistent volume sourcing available. General merchandise & wholesale: Household goods, tools, industrial equipment, and mixed lots. Suitable for resellers and importers looking for reliable ongoing supply from Japan. --- China sourcing support: In addition to Japan-side sourcing, I have deep experience in China. I operated a sourcing office in Yiwu and have supported 100+ companies over 12 years through Alibaba, 1688, and direct factory engagement. If your business needs span both Japan and China, I can cover both sides from a single point of contact. --- Whether you need a one-time purchase, an auction report, or a long-term sourcing partner based in Japan, I am ready to help. Let's talk about what you need.
