Thatīs really great that you can make a living from selling games at ebay. I know that you already have a very good reputation (on ebay and here in the forum), it is not easy to find a trustworthy seller on ebay nowadays.

I have another hint for you:

When you get out of Akihabara station (on your left should be the Sato Musen building) you should follow the main street until you come to the first big crossing (on the opposite side is a big electric store, i think it is "Laox"), cross the street and turn right and go down the main road, the shop should be near a buliding with green coloured windows (itīs a smokers room I think). Most of the shops are tourist traps along the main street, but there is one shop (unfortunately I donīt know the name) that looks not very inviting from outside (they donīt use big and colourful advertisment like the other shops), they simply have a white basket with some special offers (last time I saw Konamiīs Para Para Dance with controller for 300 Yen and Shakka Tamburine with controller for 500 Yen, but a japanese otaku has taken both before I could grab them) but if you go in it might be a surprise for you. They have not so much choice like Super Potato, but they sell dozens of copies of the same game for one price (like every Dreamcast game 300 Yen, every Saturn game 200 Yen, every PSOne game 100 Yen and so on). I bought there an originally packed Rage Racer and Ridge Racer Revolution for PSOne for 100 Yen each. It is easy to pick up more copies of the same game for a very good price! They have a lot of anime stuff too, PC games, famicom games and much more.

Oh boy, I wish I would have the same courage to do business over internet! I really wish you all the luck in the world!

Akihabara has also a lot of good restaurants and snack food shops too. Along the main road there is a very good takoyaki shop, these are deepfried doughballs filled with octopus, topped with mayonnaise, a sweet soysauce called tonkatsu, dried bonitoflakes and seaweed, itīs a cheap but very delicious snack.
