  • Buying stuff from Japan on-line?

    Are there any Japanese retailers that ship computer stuff to Canada or US? Specifically, I'd love to import the new Sharp LCD panel when it is released there at the end of this month but I've been unsuccesful in finding a computer on-line reseller that actually ships stuff to US or Canada.
    I want to do this since I doubt the panel will be available here in the next 6 months or so.

      I've ordered some manga from Japan, but never computer stuff.

                  Yah, sadly I'm not much help on the onine (english) stakes, I usualy to a quick check on kakaku and head to Akihabara to bully the salespeople into a better price
