No sé en cuanto pudiera contribuir mi opinión acerca de lo que ahí se presenta y oferta, pero tengo que decir que ese lugar es lo más parecido al paraíso en la Tierra. La emoción me ha hecho llorar.
I bought some stuff there last week at 90% discount. What you have to know about these Japanese import warehouses is that they're getting new containers every 2 months I believe. Most is junk material and randomly priced as they usually buy those per weight. Prices will go down as they're getting closer to the next shipment. Less choice but cheaper options when you wait for the 70% or 90% discounts. I wouldn't recommend anyone to buy complex gear if you don't have repair skills though.
You are absolutely correct. I’m well aware of how these places operate, and they’re always bringing in new stuff. There are some bargains to be had here but most of it is just pure junk.
@jmsjms296 junk or not some might have a high value like those lenses, that can be conected to reflex photograf machines already digital some i saw just by looking at them are like 2.500€ this in Europe with a big discount ,normally they are dirty and to clean them is not that simple but there are people who are specialized in that, regular modern camera´s use this lenses but they really cost a lot of money if bought new and to work all types of lenses are needed but all expensive depending on it´s specifications
As a local I can confirm that this place is a gem - imagine usual garage sales but 100x larger.😮 And they'd put stuff on sales/discount in a cycle manner. After starting the new lot sales at list price for a few days they'll start gradual discount to all items, from mild 10% off to "clearance" 90% off towards the end of the cycle. After that they'd close down for a few days to rearrange for the new lot of stuff, and the cycle continues. Those clearance 90% discount sales would be only as-is, no testing allowed however. But I took the risk, and had got some gems ridiculously cheap from time to time (got a fully functional TEAC 3-head cassette deck at only about $30😎- go figure). So if you know the business and love to take the risk, this place is very recommended. PS correction: this place is technically not in BKK area (actually in Samut Prakarn province), but close enough to not to cause any commute issue.
Yes you’re right about the discount cycle. I would try and wait until it was at least 60% off. You’re also write about the location, I said Bangkok for practicalities sake
You can test stuff beforehand and if it is to expensive for what you want to pay just wait until the big discounts happen and go back and see if one of the items you had tested before is still there and pick it up at a steal.
I went to stores like this in Bangkok and just offer them ~20$ for most things and they will say yes. The price tag is meaningless. People in Thailand are so nice.
I've never been inside one of these Japanese 2nd hand stores, so this was interesting. Your jokes are really funny man, you made this enjoyable. I mean, the prices this place are charging are beyond stupid and I love how they don't even clean them. However; this is still fun and nostalgic for sure. I guess I had a lot of Japanese electronics as a kid :) Good speaker tips too!
All the prices I quoted were before the 40% discount. Yes, many of the things were still over priced by Thai standards. I’ve been to a couple of these before. I’ll have to go to one of their other locations that has a lot more household things in it.
@@LifewithSerg Yes, I was astonished about the prices. Even in Japan the price would not have been as high. I mentioned it before, Japan has a lucrative second hand market with quality products.
@@SjaakSchulteis According to a different commentor they go up to 80/90% with their discounts depending on how long the stuff has been there. I guess they try to get as much out of it and go down significantly as time passes. I am sure even at full price there is plenty of deals to be had with such a large collection though, especially if you can get it home.
The Japanese pre-loved electronic items are keenly priced...less 40%...these are brands on the run 🏃♂️ 😀 can save a lots of money 💰, it can make your life fulfilling 😅 thanks Serg for sharing it with us, certainly on my shopping trip next time around..🎉😂
I think the prices are still a little bit on the high side, but it’s definitely worth checking out. There’s a couple other places like this which feature lots of other items, not just electronics. I will have to go take a look.
I love second hand things. This triggered my shopping addiction ahah. I better re-read that book "30 Days to Stop Being a Shopaholic" by Harper Daniels before I split for the thrift store again.
I love secondhand markets as well. There’s quite a few more here that I need to explore. I will make sure to make more videos to feed your addiction. Lol.
Hello, as I mentioned in the video, the Google Maps link is in the description below the video. So please scroll up and look in the text. A.k.a.: the description.
Now I know where everything in America went to manual passed a bunch of stuff that was vintage and I told Matt all that black 90s stuff. There are some cool pieces in there. I would love to have had working or not working Jesus I tell you want by chance I fly to Bangkok go through there by what I want and have a shit back to America. Thanks for the video.
Thus does deserve a walk thru. Don't like item being unmarked. That's a red flag. Prices based on who's asking. You know Foriegn Tax. Been their before
I’ve been to secondhand markets all over the world. People don’t price their items. It’s just not the way it works. Don’t overthink it, just go and enjoy.
I was in Cambodia and noticed that they are EVERYWHERE in Cambodia. Literally half the cars are Prius's and most are made from a combination of multiple cars. So, Cambodia is where Prius's go to die and I guess Thailand is where Japanese stereo equipment goes to die. Not bad prices on the records! Good decorations at the least.
Cambodia is where manufacturers dump their closed out lease cars. They don't want to dump them in their own or other larger markets because it takes away from new car sales. A lot go to Africa as well.
Oh that is really interesting and that makes a lot of sense. It's really quite interesting to see in person. Perhaps 1 out of 3 cars there is a Prius. When I take taxis the 2 guaranteed conversations with the driver is 1- How terrible Chinese tourists are 2- How many different Prius's their personal Prius is made from. :) @@davidj.7779
Then you probably don’t want to know that about four days after I went, everything was 90% off! They get a new shipment every couple of weeks and then start the sliding scale discount. There was definitely some gems there. However, I question the condition that most of it is in, and having run worldwide vintage toy business, it would cost you a fortune to ship stuff like this overseas believe me, I’m definitely gonna go back there again and look around some more.
The problem is most, not all, Japanese speakers aren't that great. Just so so. Now if the have accuphase amps and such then it would be worth going too. Now, Japanese turntables are great. I'd definitely look for a decent table
Lets say there is a monster receiver that cost 2K in USA. You buy it there for 50$ and ships with Fedex to US for about 200$ I would say its good deal )) @@LifewithSerg
This is not their business model. They get in a container form Japan at super cheap prices. They put everything out and keep marking it down till it’s all gone, and then they repeat the process. All of this stuff comes from Japanese secondhand stores, and her items that were unsellable in Japan, but there is a market for them here.
I have a whole video on Pattavikorn. If you search for “Bangkok Pattavikorn secondhand market“ you’ll find my video. As for Mega Plaza, I incorporated it into another video, but I’ve never done a standalone video on it. It might be a good idea, considering I was a vintage toy dealer for over 25 years.
Zero air conditioning in there. The noise you hear my video is from the fans. There were definitely lots of fans in there. The only things that I didn’t see prices on were the speakers and the musical instruments. Everything else was pressed.
I didn’t spend too much time looking through the records. Are used to have a vinyl collection in the US, but I gave them all away before I moved here. This is not the place to come if you’re really looking for records. I would recommend fortune town, as there is at least 10 different shops, or the Pattavikorn market.
I know exactly how you feel. I came across a television in a rental, that was the exact same model as my families first color television when we moved to America.
@@LifewithSerg when I showed it to my dad just now, his face went from “what freaky vid are you gonna show now” to “oh..it’s my old radio 🥹❤️” thanks for making our day!
I'm sure there's a treasure hidden here and there, but I see A LOT of junk ( I've been buying and selling vintage audio for 20 years). Junky receivers, junky speakers, and junky cameras.
Those prices were before the discount. This location was just musical instruments, audio gear, and camera gear. There are several large Japanese secondhand stores like this throughout, Bangkok, as well as quite a few secondhand markets.
I’ve never seen anything second hand in Thailand that isn’t way over priced for its age and condition, from cars to electronics. Most old tat you see here the West would bin it in a blink of an eye
I would have to agree with you on that. They do tend to overprice used things. I’m currently looking for a used motorbike, and a lot of the used prices for one or two year. Old bikes are within 10% of a brand new one. Makes no sense.
1:14 there is a Kenwood HM-331 , behind the turntable, next to tape deck at left. its speakers are in blue shown at 5:03 I have that Kenwood! . so sad and deeply depressed when after a few days I got it by auction, my cat scratched the CD lens. I have the onkyo FR-X7A there 2:34 and , lucky I could relace the flat cable of minidisc (after my cat unpluged it and I damage it trying to plug it on again.)
Wow exciting place! Please compile more secondhand places like this! Is there a place selling used international English magazines and books? These places make Bangkok more interesting to visit then the usual malls. Thanks Serg😊
There’s quite a few markets like this. I’m not sure if you’ve seen my video about Pattavikorn market. If not go, check it out I will go to see more of these types of market some stores for sure.
@@LifewithSerg yes I watched your very interesting talk on thairish times when it first dropped then I saw the pattavikorn video too when it came out then subbed since. I like that you can talk in depth about a variety of subjects from automotive to vintage. However, don't be too stressed about view / sub numbers, because youtube does a lot of manipulation to their creators, then they burn out. Take care Serg 💕
japanese accousic guitars are premium quality,,, and the fender and gibson copy guitars are normally as good as the real deal. you can pay $100,000 for the legendary kenwood turntables,, $100,000 U.S ,, the platters alone are $40,000 used and sell.
I’ve never considered Kenwood to be audiophile level equipment. And I’ve owned a bunch of different Kenwood equipment. As for the guitars, I have no knowledge of that, but I know they can be quite expensive.
That's HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO AWESOME! I'd spent a month just looking at these speakers, just SO INSANELY AWESOME. In wish I could at least have a 1% of this shop in my country!
I've also seen some videos of second hand audio shops in Japan and they have a lot of incredible vintage audio equipment in excellent condition. Of course the prices are going to be higher. I suspect this place buys all the sub-standard and unwanted stuff from Japan because it sure looks like it.
Hi @LifewithSerg . thanks for your great content . I am a electronic enthusiast but not the vintage one. Do you have any idea in Bangkok where to buy the second hand electronic product ? likes, "the Place" to buy it such as smartphone, speaker, smart TV , laptop and accessories etc. Thank in advance.
Go to MBK mall, there are lots of second hand vendors. Also second hand markets. Check out my secondhand market playlist, most of the markets on that list. Have a wide variety of secondhand items like you’re looking for.
Hey Serg, Thanks for this one. I am definitely visiting this place. You gave me yet another reason to quickly plan my trip. Hopefully in November this year😊
Some of the prices of this place are a little bit high, but as you saw by the sign, there’s always a huge discount. I would highly recommend a visit here. Just prepare to be really hot. Lol.
Mostly trash imo that’s rotting in humid climate and selling for close to its original prices. Only in bangkok. Honestly if I wanted some stereo gear in bangkok I just go to piyanas and buy new it’s not worth the headache. Good vid tho and the collectible vibe of the place def got mojo
I thought the prices were just way too high on most of these items, even after the 40% discount. I agree with you about the temperature and humidity damaging all of this. It’s a really fun place to look, but like you, I would only buy something here as a decorator piece.
@@LifewithSerg yeah it looks fun. Good vid. I agree. Only in Thailand. Stuff that would be 2 dollars at a garage sale in usa is 80 bucks in Thailand. It sux. It’s hard to get good deals here.
Tried to find this place before but to no help, where is this place in Bangkok??,so I can visit, I've asked locals but still no help,from a expat. Good video
Of what good is it to buy audio equip in Bangkok if you live in the US? The cost of shipping it would only add to the cost of getting say, an amplifier, which are quite heavy.
Hi, any chance you know the shops that carry Japanese lacquerware urushi and better quality ceramics? Much appreciated of you could share your expertise. Thank you
My eyes are huuurting.... So many lenses and not a single one with a protective cap or anything. Can just imagine the amount of dust and fungus that makes them unusable because of that. Such a waste...
Sad to see those camera's without lens. Now they have been exposed to dust and dirt. All those camera's and lens are now useless. Also, the overall prices are very high for 2nd hand merchandise.. This is not a deal at all...
Hm i think a lot electronics where the price is not really cheap....Its Expensiv! Brooken speakers! From Peter Eriksson Sweden Europe! Very funny video Serg!
Yes, some of the prices were not cheap. But you have to keep in mind that they start them at full price, and it goes down until it hits 90% off. Once they sell everything, they unload a new container and start the whole process over again.
What a vast, wonderful collection of audio stereo equipments in Bangkok, Thailand!!! I am really amazed to see this vast collection!! I hope i can visit there one day as i live in Sri Lanka. Thank you for uploading this video and sharing the information!!
The market for loose figures is great. I have sold thousands of loose figures. There’s a lot of very rare vintage, Star Wars figures, that even loose, sell for big bucks.
@@LifewithSerg That is very good news, cause I have all the figures but are loose. I live beautiful NorCal, but other than my local card game/comic/MTG shops is there any good contacts?? Thanks for the response!
Este lugar es lo más cercano al paraiso en la Tierra. Me encantaría poner los conocimientos que tengo en la materia, en función de la recuperación y restauración de muchos de esos bellísimos equipos.
Wow, I'm glad there isn't a warehouse like that near me or else my house would be even more full! That is very cool although I am quite surprised at the prices.
Don’t forget that everything was 40% off. They bring in a new container I believe every two or three weeks. About four days after I went to one of my subscriber said that everything was 90% off. At 90% off, that’s a bargain, at 40% off those prices were not great
@@LifewithSerg Ahhh yes, at 90% would defs be the right time to go. I was recently in the Philippines, Sth Korea and Japan and expected to find places like this but had to stick with the group. The new electronics were about the same price as at home and couldn't find anything I don't already have. Would love to go to Thailand and Indonesia sometime soon. :)
as a vintage camera dealer i can tell this is the worst way to store this cameras and lenses. open bodys in the bankok heat, dust everwhere, cramped togheter. you will have a big big amount of defects there if not everything is broken in some way. and to be honest 23dollars is way to much for a big chunk of the gear i saw in this video. so for sure pretty fun to whatch but i would never buy there. thanks for the video. very interesting 🖤
I know exactly what you’re saying. You are very correct about the dust of the dirt. Eventually, all of this gear will be 80 or 90% off. It’s really a bad way to store it. However, I think once they have a huge discount, before they bring in the new container, there are some deals to be had. At the end of the day, I found this place really interesting to browse.
You have to be very careful because Japanese electrical supply is 110 volts to you will need a transformer 230volt to 110 before you can use anything also the FM radio band is about 76-91 mhz not as the rest of the would 87,5 -108mhz so you wont hear many stations
I didn’t see any, but there’s so many different things in there. They might’ve had some in the glass case up in the front. I definitely have seen some of those at the Pattavikorn secondhand market.
Go check it out. By now they will have replaced all of that with new inventory. Everything goes on a sliding scale until it hits 90% off, and then they bring in a new container.
So I probably shouldn’t tell you that they get a new container in every couple of weeks, and completely replace all the merchandise. Lol. I think you’ll be ready to move in. By the way, if you like secondhand stuff, I think you’ll like one of my videos later in the week.
If you’re asking me how long it’s been there, I think it’s been quite a while. They have a second location which has more variety of every day secondhand items.
I only saw a couple, but there was just too many different things to try to memorize prices. I believe they get a new container in every two or three weeks. They start at full price and buy the final week, before the new container arrives, everything gets down to 90% off.
I would have to completely agree with you. Keep in mind that everything goes on a sliding scale, and eventually becomes 90% off. There are definitely some gems here. And they bring a new container every one or two months and start the whole process over.
If you want to support me, a like or a comment, or share on this video would really be appreciated.

I went to stores like this in Bangkok and just offer them ~20$ for most things and they will say yes. The price tag is meaningless. People in Thailand are so nice.
Yes, you can, of course, bargain in places like this.
Ah that makes sense. These price tags were ridiculous.
Thank you Serg
Wow so much collection n neatly arranged...👍
Just imagine the generations of people who used all the cameras and recorded life over 25...30-40 years

No, for that, I would suggest you go to mega plaza, or Pattavikorn secondhand market.

I would have to agree with you on that. They do tend to overprice used things. I’m currently looking for a used motorbike, and a lot of the used prices for one or two year. Old bikes are within 10% of a brand new one. Makes no sense.
Fascinating to see all those throwback items from the 60's up🎥📹📷📸
Yeah it’s a cool place for sure!
1:14 there is a Kenwood HM-331 , behind the turntable, next to tape deck at left. its speakers are in blue shown at 5:03
I have that Kenwood! . so sad and deeply depressed when after a few days I got it by auction, my cat scratched the CD lens.
I have the onkyo FR-X7A there 2:34 and , lucky I could relace the flat cable of minidisc (after my cat unpluged it and I damage it trying to plug it on again.)
Kenwood was my first amplifier/receiver. Good memories from teen years.
Wow exciting place! Please compile more secondhand places like this! Is there a place selling used international English magazines and books? These places make Bangkok more interesting to visit then the usual malls. Thanks Serg😊
There’s quite a few markets like this. I’m not sure if you’ve seen my video about Pattavikorn market. If not go, check it out I will go to see more of these types of market some stores for sure.
@@LifewithSerg yes I watched your very interesting talk on thairish times when it first dropped then I saw the pattavikorn video too when it came out then subbed since. I like that you can talk in depth about a variety of subjects from automotive to vintage. However, don't be too stressed about view / sub numbers, because youtube does a lot of manipulation to their creators, then they burn out. Take care Serg 💕
Hey Trust your well, Great to see you in Good spirits, inspire on champ
Yes feeling much better!
Do you see an opportunity to buy "stuff" in bulk and ship to North America for resale?
Not here at this place!! The shipping would absolutely kill you. There are opportunities, but not at this place.
@@LifewithSerg Interested in discussing this? I am thinking of high value, small items, to minimize shipping cost.
I am in Canada.
I always get lucky in BangCock...
Ha.
japanese accousic guitars are premium quality,,, and the fender and gibson copy guitars are normally as good as the real deal. you can pay $100,000 for the legendary kenwood turntables,, $100,000 U.S ,, the platters alone are $40,000 used and sell.
I’ve never considered Kenwood to be audiophile level equipment. And I’ve owned a bunch of different Kenwood equipment. As for the guitars, I have no knowledge of that, but I know they can be quite expensive.
Ah now I see where Techmoan gets all his content from.
Right?? That guy would go crazy here.
That's HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO AWESOME! I'd spent a month just looking at these speakers, just SO INSANELY AWESOME. In wish I could at least have a 1% of this shop in my country!
Glad you like it! I had a blast there.
That's cool 🎉!!(From Italy)
Hello
So great to see you display that Black Moon album. Classic material. Thx Serg. 🙏
I literally randomly pulled that out. Classic!
I would have bought it
Any shop that sell electronics at discount( phone, body xamera, etc
...) thanks
There’s lots of stores, but I think your best bet would go to Pattavikorn market. I made another video about that market.
@@LifewithSerg Different question
How much from Bangkok Airport to Hua Hin and cost, xan you recommend any service? Thanks
I've also seen some videos of second hand audio shops in Japan and they have a lot of incredible vintage audio equipment in excellent condition. Of course the prices are going to be higher. I suspect this place buys all the sub-standard and unwanted stuff from Japan because it sure looks like it.
You’re absolutely correct! The gentleman that owns this shop imports, all the unsellable items from Japan.
These are second hand electronics stuff from Japan. All are 100 V which can not be used in Thailand 220V. Require transformer to work properly.
Some was 220, but yes, a lot of it was 110. It’s very easy to get an adapter to make them work.
Hi @LifewithSerg . thanks for your great content . I am a electronic enthusiast but not the vintage one. Do you have any idea in Bangkok where to buy the second hand electronic product ? likes, "the Place" to buy it such as smartphone, speaker, smart TV , laptop and accessories etc. Thank in advance.
Go to MBK mall, there are lots of second hand vendors. Also second hand markets. Check out my secondhand market playlist, most of the markets on that list. Have a wide variety of secondhand items like you’re looking for.
@@LifewithSerg Kudo to you for your hard work. Thanks very much for your info. Keep it up !
Hey Serg, Thanks for this one. I am definitely visiting this place. You gave me yet another reason to quickly plan my trip. Hopefully in November this year😊
Some of the prices of this place are a little bit high, but as you saw by the sign, there’s always a huge discount. I would highly recommend a visit here. Just prepare to be really hot. Lol.
Mostly trash imo that’s rotting in humid climate and selling for close to its original prices. Only in bangkok. Honestly if I wanted some stereo gear in bangkok I just go to piyanas and buy new it’s not worth the headache. Good vid tho and the collectible vibe of the place def got mojo
I thought the prices were just way too high on most of these items, even after the 40% discount. I agree with you about the temperature and humidity damaging all of this. It’s a really fun place to look, but like you, I would only buy something here as a decorator piece.
@@LifewithSerg yeah it looks fun. Good vid. I agree. Only in Thailand. Stuff that would be 2 dollars at a garage sale in usa is 80 bucks in Thailand. It sux. It’s hard to get good deals here.
At the same time, almost everything else is 1/5 of the cost. So like anything else, you have pluses and minuses.
@@LifewithSerg I know it’s true. It’s the land of extremes on pricing, either one side or the other. Haha
What is the name of this market and location please
Name and google maps link is In the description. Please take a look.
Awesome looking store, you should get an audio mixer you can become DJ Serg!
I wanted to be a DJ when I was younger. I used to have a couple turntables and a mixer. Lol.
Every country should be opened sechand shop and third hand shops. Its good for environment.
I’m pretty sure that every country has shops like this. They are great for the economy.
Tried to find this place before but to no help, where is this place in Bangkok??,so I can visit, I've asked locals but still no help,from a expat. Good video
As I mentioned in the video, I put a Google Maps link in the written description of the video. Please look there, you will see the link.
Of what good is it to buy audio equip in Bangkok if you live in the US? The cost of shipping it would only add to the cost of getting say, an amplifier, which are quite heavy.
Yes I know. I’m just sharing a video man. I live in Bangkok. Hope yon enjoy.
Hey question is thailand using 110V electricity? Problem with us here in philippines we are uaimg 240V 😂 we can only use those speakers
Yes it’s 220 here. Will try most of this 110 equipment.
Very good video sir we seen from India thankyou sir
Thanks and welcome
Sir we need low price audio music player system in India middle class family leaving in India need thankyou very sir
Hi, any chance you know the shops that carry Japanese lacquerware urushi and better quality ceramics? Much appreciated of you could share your expertise. Thank you
Sorry, but I do not.
i might not need some of those components but i couldn´t enter there or i would spend a lot of money
Ha ha it’s a cool place for sure.
wauw that audio developments mixer is really profesional. in eu market worth around 2000 euros.
There are definitely some hidden gems here
My eyes are huuurting.... So many lenses and not a single one with a protective cap or anything. Can just imagine the amount of dust and fungus that makes them unusable because of that. Such a waste...
Yes, I think most of this is only usable as decorator pieces. All the camera bodies have got to be filled with so much dust since the lenses are off.
Sad to see those camera's without lens. Now they have been exposed to dust and dirt. All those camera's and lens are now useless. Also, the overall prices are very high for 2nd hand merchandise.. This is not a deal at all...
Yes the prices are on the high side, I agree
It is always smart to buy more simple operated japanese direct-drive turntable from eighties. New turntables are bad joke comparing to that ones.
Those old direct drive turn tables are definitely great
been waiting for unique and quality thailand content from SERG!!! yes!!!
Well, I gave you unique, I don’t know about quality. 🤪🤣😂
You mentioned better collection of records elsewhere in BKK, where might that be? Maybe you should a video for it mate..
I made a video there as well. It’s at Fortune Town.
Hm i think a lot electronics where the price is not really cheap....Its Expensiv! Brooken speakers! From Peter Eriksson Sweden Europe! Very funny video Serg!
Yes, some of the prices were not cheap. But you have to keep in mind that they start them at full price, and it goes down until it hits 90% off. Once they sell everything, they unload a new container and start the whole process over again.
What a vast, wonderful collection of audio stereo equipments in Bangkok, Thailand!!! I am really amazed to see this vast collection!! I hope i can visit there one day as i live in Sri Lanka.
Thank you for uploading this video and sharing the information!!
So happy you enjoyed it! I loved this place so much!
@@LifewithSerg Yes, i am pleased to see it. Thanks again!!
Hey Serg love this vid…takes me back. How’s the 80’s toy market for nonboxed gijoe heman and 70’s star wars? Thanks
The market for loose figures is great. I have sold thousands of loose figures. There’s a lot of very rare vintage, Star Wars figures, that even loose, sell for big bucks.
@@LifewithSerg That is very good news, cause I have all the figures but are loose. I live beautiful NorCal, but other than my local card game/comic/MTG shops is there any good contacts?? Thanks for the response!
Este lugar es lo más cercano al paraiso en la Tierra.
Me encantaría poner los conocimientos que tengo en la materia, en función de la recuperación y restauración de muchos de esos bellísimos equipos.
You would love this place for sure.
It'd be fun to have a good fossik there. Some good brand speakers amongst that lot.
They were definitely some good brands there.
Very nice components, made in Japan the best technology japanes engeners perpict I love music
Just beware that Japan runs on 110V and Thailand is on 240V. So you might have some issues with some of this equipment if you buy it here.
Bro just step into the heaven! I also love buying 2nd hand stuff, especially for parts salvaging hehe.😏😏
Yeah, you would definitely love this place!
A neverending garage sale. Complete with crazy prices for the occasional trash item.
Pretty much. But there is a cycle. It starts with a 10% discount and then works its way up to 90% discount before they bring in all new items.
Hi Dear, Thank You Verry Importent Information Thank you somuch 💯👍
Welcome 😊
i loved the fan joke. totally unexpected. peed myself.
Ha ha. You’re welcome. Lol
Wow, I'm glad there isn't a warehouse like that near me or else my house would be even more full! That is very cool although I am quite surprised at the prices.
Don’t forget that everything was 40% off. They bring in a new container I believe every two or three weeks. About four days after I went to one of my subscriber said that everything was 90% off. At 90% off, that’s a bargain, at 40% off those prices were not great
@@LifewithSerg Ahhh yes, at 90% would defs be the right time to go. I was recently in the Philippines, Sth Korea and Japan and expected to find places like this but had to stick with the group. The new electronics were about the same price as at home and couldn't find anything I don't already have.
Would love to go to Thailand and Indonesia sometime soon. :)
wao man I wish I could be there they should be online i.e. aliexpress,daraz etc etc
They sell out every month and get a new container every month. Hence the sliding discounts all month long.
when i was young i used to dream of places like this.
Ha ha. Yes so cool.
as a vintage camera dealer i can tell this is the worst way to store this cameras and lenses. open bodys in the bankok heat, dust everwhere, cramped togheter. you will have a big big amount of defects there if not everything is broken in some way. and to be honest 23dollars is way to much for a big chunk of the gear i saw in this video. so for sure pretty fun to whatch but i would never buy there.
thanks for the video. very interesting 🖤
I know exactly what you’re saying. You are very correct about the dust of the dirt. Eventually, all of this gear will be 80 or 90% off. It’s really a bad way to store it. However, I think once they have a huge discount, before they bring in the new container, there are some deals to be had.
At the end of the day, I found this place really interesting to browse.
@@LifewithSerg it is interesting for sure. thanks for the video 👌
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💯👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
😊🙏👋👍
You have to be very careful because Japanese electrical supply is 110 volts to you will need a transformer 230volt to 110 before you can use anything also the FM radio band is about 76-91 mhz not as the rest of the would 87,5 -108mhz so you wont hear many stations
You’re absolutely correct about the voltage, and I also think the actual voltage hz is different
Yes I forget like USA is 60HZ so@@LifewithSerg any AC motors will run slower
Any one know if they also sell walkmans?
I didn’t see any, but there’s so many different things in there. They might’ve had some in the glass case up in the front. I definitely have seen some of those at the Pattavikorn secondhand market.
Cool, thanks! I will check both in december@@LifewithSerg
Techmoan would love that place.
OMG you are so right. That guy would have a field day here.
@@LifewithSerg He'd probably go broke there and be stuck in Thailand forever 😆
Damn was just there wish i saw this before hand i would of stopped by inbetween my massages and weed sessions !
Go check it out. By now they will have replaced all of that with new inventory. Everything goes on a sliding scale until it hits 90% off, and then they bring in a new container.
That would be heaven on earth for me. Do they have a room to rent on the premises? 😁
So I probably shouldn’t tell you that they get a new container in every couple of weeks, and completely replace all the merchandise. Lol. I think you’ll be ready to move in.
By the way, if you like secondhand stuff, I think you’ll like one of my videos later in the week.
Amazing. I liked this funny museum
Glad you enjoyed it
"Lucky Home" is a constant presence, something that has run for years?
If you’re asking me how long it’s been there, I think it’s been quite a while. They have a second location which has more variety of every day secondhand items.
Nice video Serg! Very cool looking place, looks like they have a ton of camera stuff.
They had a ton of camera stuff. I think a lot of it is probably junk, but it’s a fun place to go and look.
Like before watching!!!! Love these vids. Going to fly via Bangkok just for this.
Hope you enjoy it!
Crazy...that junk is $2-20 @ every garage sale in America.. but would be fun to poke around..
There are definitely some bargains here, especially when it gets down to 90% off. And like you said, it’s just a fun place to poke around.
@@LifewithSerg btw...all your content is very well presented...great job
It's paradise. Was there many mini disc units there ? Roughly how much. We're they in demand. cheers
I only saw a couple, but there was just too many different things to try to memorize prices. I believe they get a new container in every two or three weeks. They start at full price and buy the final week, before the new container arrives, everything gets down to 90% off.
@@LifewithSerg a mini disc diskette (with album art work etc) are $100 each here in new Zealand. We're they really 70 cents for a disc
Wow, the polaroids are cool! They have some neat camera gear!
Yes they do! The room they wouldn’t let me into had some much nicer equipment
Tank you for this vidéo but wer is this place ?
In the description is a Google maps link so you can find it.
Where does all this stuff come from imports?....?,
Pretty sure I mentioned it in the video that all of this is imported from Japan.
Thanks for showing us places and subjects not normally chosen with other Thai based channels...
It’s the stuff I love to find. Glad you enjoy it.
Sir very nice ❤❤❤
Glad you liked it!
they have the camera lens without covers out in open catching dust
Oh yes, everything is poorly stored. I would be very cautious and examine all the lenses thoroughly if I was going to buy one.
Does one night in Bangcock really make a hard man humble?
Lol. Good one. Most people don’t realize that Murray Head was singing about chess throughout that whole song.
You can tell they don't sell a lot because there is so much stuff there.
Yes they get a new container every few weeks.
send me a few Disney Pixar Cars VHS tapes, sealed please :)
lol. I haven’t seen any of those lately.
I need to check that place out .
It’s definitely worth a visit
Pretty cool, but the electronics not as cheap as I thought.
I would have to completely agree with you. Keep in mind that everything goes on a sliding scale, and eventually becomes 90% off. There are definitely some gems here. And they bring a new container every one or two months and start the whole process over.
These prices are very high for Thailand standards.
Yes I agree.
I Indonesia like whit RUclips you 👍👍
Thank you!
