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
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.
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!
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 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!
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.
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!!
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 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
In 2019. I bought a Nikon F-401s SLR from there (Body only) because it took AAA batteries AND had a flash. It was 3000 Baht. I bought a Nikkor auto focus zoom lens of the same vintage (1987) from Fortune Town mall later on in the same year. They still work to this day and I'm loving the film experience.
There’s actually quite a few of them here. I’ve been to another one that had all sorts of items imported from Japan. I’ll have to find one that has a wider variety of items and make another video for you guys.
Honestly, that market has next to no collectibles. I would not recommended it comes for anyone seeking any kind of vintage items. There is, however a market right next to it that is a building with Seven floors that is all vintage collectible items.
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. :)
Just keep in mind that the heat and humidity in that warehouse are not doing any of that equipment any favors. Eventually, everything will be 90% off, and then a brand new shipment will come in. I think they do this once a month or so.
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!
Your videos are cool. I love and respect the way you take things so carefully and depict it in your videos. I too love 2nd hand items because somehow I feel we all can make good use of them if we get something descent which is value for pocket and recycling at the same time. How can I connect with you ?
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.
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 💕
There’s actually several of these Japanese secondhand goods stores in Bangkok. I’ll do a video on one that has a more general selection of merchandise.
Just keep in mind that most of the stuff runs on 110 V, and sitting in this kind of a warehouse in this heat with humidity is not very healthy for electronics
Time , patience,love and skill I reckon I could put something together .. Definitely got the time and patience living up here in the sticks . Many thanks for the advice .
If you are from Australia, New Zealand or the UK make sure you check the operating voltage of any used equipment before you buy it. Anything rated 220 -240v is fine (some units will have adjustable voltage selectors near the AC input). Anything less, don't touch it unless you want to use the device with a step-down transformer. As to the cameras, know what you are looking at. In high humidity such as Thailand and Japan, camera lenses will develop mould between the lens elements very quickly so you need to look through the lens and if you spot any sort of furry gunk inside, no matter how small, just leave it as the mould is already inside. In Japan people often store their lenses in sealed pouches or containers with silica gel capsules or pouches from medication bottles to keep the lenses dry. Also look at the upper most glass element and the rear element to look for signs of scratches, coating aberrations or glass pitting. Any of those things will render a lens useless.
Looking at the language, it seems to be the 1996 japanese version. They don't seems filter the stuffs before putting it in bin, so adult stuff ends up shipped to warehouse and now available publicly. 😂
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.
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
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'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.
Ładne zabawki ;) . Fajne miejsce i dużo fajnego audio . Jest na co popatrzeć . ( Nice toys . Cool place and lots of cool audio. There is something to look at. ) . Pozdrawiam .
@@LifewithSerg Vintage Audio is a cool thing. Some amplifiers from the 80's are very nice but the prices can also be high. My friend currently uses Accuphase E 303 and I know that it is a pretty good amplifier that sounds warm. I also have a few pieces, but after watching your video, I want more heh ...
I was there 2 weeks ago and it was all closed for inventory work, the camera shack was open but the rest closed.. real bummer. There are also some farang scouting the place for collectables.
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.)
I know they get containers on a regular basis and cycle all of the inventory. I’m not sure how often it happens. But everything starts at 100% and eventually gets down to 90% discount. Just keep in mind that all the cameras and the lenses are sitting open like that, so there’s going to be a lot of dust and possibly Pete and moisture damage. Definitely go check it out.
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.
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.
As I mentioned, in the beginning of the video, all they have here is musical instruments, audio equipment, and cameras. I’ve yet to find a place that has lots of vintage video games. The only places that have come close is mega plaza, and Pattavikorn, which is a secondhand market.
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.
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.
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 love Lucky Home! I got some harmonicas and an old tripod there. You have to be careful, coming from Japan, most electronics run on 110v. Some stuff I tested was blown out on 220v already.
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
It’s definitely interesting to go and browse, but I don’t think I would buy anything with expectations of it being trouble free. Too much heat and humidity and dust.
The items were a little expensive, and the heat and humidity have done them no favors. Personally, I wouldn’t buy any of that stereo equipment with high hopes of it, lasting, or being super usable. Keep in mind that Japan runs on 110 V
No video games at all. All they had here was musical instruments, audio gear, and then the camera section. I literally just randomly pulled that record out, and I was thrilled to see what it was.
Hey Serg! I really loved the content of this episode. If my memory serves me well, you already made a video about this warehouse once. It's much different this time though. All the stuffs seem to be sorted out well and got more expensive price setup. I'm kinda like it more the previous time, this time the bad stuffs were removed, any way the best stuffs seem to be also opted off as well.
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
Yes! There was one. However, they cycle everything through, but I’m not sure how often. But about five days after this video, somebody left a comment that everything was 90% off. Which would leave you to believe that by now they have all new stock.
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.
They must have a AC converter from Japan which is 100 volts to Thailand which is 240 volts so you can test it. TV in japan will work in the US & Canada but channel numbers will be different but not Thailand as they used PAL & Japan, US & Canada used NTSC back in the analog days.
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.
No, as I had mentioned, at the beginning of this video, it’s musical instruments, audio gear, and cameras only. For vintage toys I would recommend you go to mega plaza. It’s a Seven story toy mall. About 10-20 dealers there are selling vintage toys.
Good Day Serg, I own a vintage electronics store back in the states in Connecticut. I have been following your videos and I am very curious if it will be beneficial to purchase electronics from there and have them shipped here back in the states for my store. Never been to Thailand, but I will love to visit the Lucky.
The little television won't work without a digital to analog converter for reception and would likely be unwatchable due to aspect ratio difference these days. Still cool. I had one as a child and I loved it !

Hi, Where exactly that ware house located ??
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
It was extremely well organized.
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.

Do they have social media account I can check?

vintage floor-standing speakers are so beautiful
Yes they are. But I think the heat and humidity will have ruined most of them.
One of the most interesting vids on Bkk I have seen
I’m glad you enjoyed it! This is a very interesting place

Would love to go to Thailand and Indonesia sometime soon. :)
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.
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.
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
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.
Treasure cave I am shocked by what I see. Amazing collection this is a dream!
Just keep in mind that the heat and humidity in that warehouse are not doing any of that equipment any favors. Eventually, everything will be 90% off, and then a brand new shipment will come in. I think they do this once a month or so.
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

@@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 💕
Just came across your channel and what a great vlog next time I’m in bkk I’m going there what a great place 👏👏👏
There’s actually several of these Japanese secondhand goods stores in Bangkok. I’ll do a video on one that has a more general selection of merchandise.
@@LifewithSerg I normal go to mega plaza but this place is very near me when I go . Thanks Serg will look forward to next ones 👏👏👏
Like before watching!!!! Love these vids. Going to fly via Bangkok just for this.
Hope you enjoy it!
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.
wauw that audio developments mixer is really profesional. in eu market worth around 2000 euros.
There are definitely some hidden gems here
Wow interesting place my electronic skills could get me a rockin new sound system .I must pop along for a look next time I'm down from surin .
Cheers
Just keep in mind that most of the stuff runs on 110 V, and sitting in this kind of a warehouse in this heat with humidity is not very healthy for electronics
Time , patience,love and skill I reckon I could put something together ..
Definitely got the time and patience living up here in the sticks .
Many thanks for the advice .
Thank you for Sharing Serg 👍🏼 and don’t forget to take care of yourself too
Thanks! You too
Thanks I'm going to have to check this place out.
It’s a fun place to go browse.
Another great video...The Camera section with newer gear thats only open on Sundays would be more interesting for many of. us...Cheers
Yes, I did not know it was only open on Sundays. Now I know. Lol.
wonderfully covered ; i really liked that sharp QT 88 at 03:50
Yes that was my fave as well!
It'd be fun to have a good fossik there. Some good brand speakers amongst that lot.
They were definitely some good brands there.
A lot of retro devices. It's classy. WoW.
Yah it’s a great place.
Thank you Serg! I needed this :D
Happy to oblige!
Another great video Serg!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video but check the voltages of the equipment to make sure it matches your home country.
You’re absolutely right! Since all of this comes from Japan, almost all of it is 110 V.
OH MY GOD. Youre just made my day. Bro im thinking about moving there. can you show me around..especially this place?
I’ve got another second Heng market Video next week.
If you are from Australia, New Zealand or the UK make sure you check the operating voltage of any used equipment before you buy it. Anything rated 220 -240v is fine (some units will have adjustable voltage selectors near the AC input). Anything less, don't touch it unless you want to use the device with a step-down transformer. As to the cameras, know what you are looking at. In high humidity such as Thailand and Japan, camera lenses will develop mould between the lens elements very quickly so you need to look through the lens and if you spot any sort of furry gunk inside, no matter how small, just leave it as the mould is already inside. In Japan people often store their lenses in sealed pouches or containers with silica gel capsules or pouches from medication bottles to keep the lenses dry. Also look at the upper most glass element and the rear element to look for signs of scratches, coating aberrations or glass pitting. Any of those things will render a lens useless.
This is all excellent advice! Everything this person said about the voltage and the humidity damage is so true.
@@LifewithSerg Thanks, Serg! :)
That hitachi boombox @ 3:39 is quite desirable and the sony is not bad either.
There were definitely some germs there. Just have to be careful as all these items are 110 V, and Thailand runs on 220.
8:30 that's the artbook manual for "casual romance club", a 2003 eroge 🤣this is a great video, thanks for filming it!
There are some really cool stuff at this warehouse. And it seems like they change their inventory, completely, every few weeks.
@@LifewithSerg your channel is cool, i subscribed ^O^
Looking at the language, it seems to be the 1996 japanese version. They don't seems filter the stuffs before putting it in bin, so adult stuff ends up shipped to warehouse and now available publicly. 😂
@XeOn1989891 yeah there were a few other things there that I just couldn’t show on camera, but definitely some interesting and hilarious items
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.
Dude, a lot of that vintage home audio gear is worth huge amounts in the US. Personally I'd have lost my tiny mind in that place lol.
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
and in Europe ,the prices are even more high than the U.S. when there are more to offer they become more cheaper
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
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
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.
Ładne zabawki ;) . Fajne miejsce i dużo fajnego audio . Jest na co popatrzeć . ( Nice toys . Cool place and lots of cool audio. There is something to look at. ) . Pozdrawiam .
Yep! I’m looking forward to going back, as I’m sure they will have all new stock
@@LifewithSerg Vintage Audio is a cool thing. Some amplifiers from the 80's are very nice but the prices can also be high. My friend currently uses Accuphase E 303 and I know that it is a pretty good amplifier that sounds warm. I also have a few pieces, but after watching your video, I want more heh ...
I was there 2 weeks ago and it was all closed for inventory work, the camera shack was open but the rest closed.. real bummer. There are also some farang scouting the place for collectables.
I believe they’re closed every Monday for inventory.
@@LifewithSerg I was on a Wednesday.
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.
Cool video. Would love to go for a dig in the camera section
I know they get containers on a regular basis and cycle all of the inventory. I’m not sure how often it happens. But everything starts at 100% and eventually gets down to 90% discount. Just keep in mind that all the cameras and the lenses are sitting open like that, so there’s going to be a lot of dust and possibly Pete and moisture damage. Definitely go check it out.
@@LifewithSerg Thanks for the info. Hopefully one day. 😀
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 😆
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.
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.
Where are all the computers, retro games and consoles??! I was sooo waiting for this section!! 🥲
As I mentioned, in the beginning of the video, all they have here is musical instruments, audio equipment, and cameras. I’ve yet to find a place that has lots of vintage video games. The only places that have come close is mega plaza, and Pattavikorn, which is a secondhand market.
where is it located, I could not find any hints ... thanks for your help.
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.
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 !
Hi Serg, did those prices include the 40% discount ? Also any cellphones or computers ? Thanks...Matt
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.
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.
Awesome truly appreciated 👍 for sharing it
My pleasure
that's a definition of paradise for music geek :)
Yes so cool!
Thanks for sharing, really love to visit there someday!
You should!
Could you please share the location! Google maps link or name?
@@derciocossa3950 The location was LUCKY HOME SAMRONG, you can google map it mate, have fun!
@@derciocossa3950 It's LUCKY HOME SAMRONG
That's cool 🎉!!(From Italy)
Hello
I love Lucky Home! I got some harmonicas and an old tripod there. You have to be careful, coming from Japan, most electronics run on 110v. Some stuff I tested was blown out on 220v already.
Yes very true. Have to be careful.
You would put something on your mouth that came from that place? ( the harmonica)
@@farquell5782 I didn't get a CV jab so my immune system is good! Plus, I put my mouth on a lot of questionable things in Thailand!
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.
when i was young i used to dream of places like this.
Ha ha. Yes so cool.
Wow this place is amazing! So interesting
It’s a fun place to visit, for sure!
Wow that place is insane! If I worked there I'd be spending my whole paycheck at work.
It’s such a fun place!
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.
Hey Serg thanks for sweating out for us. I was curious about these kind of establishments all along.
It’s definitely interesting to go and browse, but I don’t think I would buy anything with expectations of it being trouble free. Too much heat and humidity and dust.
Excellent for Prop house. Thanks.
The items were a little expensive, and the heat and humidity have done them no favors. Personally, I wouldn’t buy any of that stereo equipment with high hopes of it, lasting, or being super usable. Keep in mind that Japan runs on 110 V
Are there any retro video games or systems? You have great taste or luck in showing that Black Moon debut lp, I'd definitely pick that up for 500b
No video games at all. All they had here was musical instruments, audio gear, and then the camera section. I literally just randomly pulled that record out, and I was thrilled to see what it was.
Hey Serg! I really loved the content of this episode. If my memory serves me well, you already made a video about this warehouse once. It's much different this time though. All the stuffs seem to be sorted out well and got more expensive price setup. I'm kinda like it more the previous time, this time the bad stuffs were removed, any way the best stuffs seem to be also opted off as well.
I have never been here before. I think you’re thinking of my video about the Pattavikorn market. That market is 10 times the size of this warehouse.
@@LifewithSerg Oh! Yeah that one. Sry for confusing.
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!
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.
Hey Serg, did you see any reel to reel when you were there?
Yes! There was one. However, they cycle everything through, but I’m not sure how often. But about five days after this video, somebody left a comment that everything was 90% off. Which would leave you to believe that by now they have all new stock.
I really love old electronics like you❤
Yeah so cool!
Looks amazing, but it's stifling in there. Did you see anywhere nearby air conditioned to cool down?
Without prices, I'd probably bring a Thai friend.
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.
@@LifewithSerg Thank you.
When I visit, I might take a bag of ice cubes from the hotel with me :-)
Audio stuff paradise ❤
Yes it is.
Amazing... Great video 🥰
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi Dear, Thank You Verry Importent Information Thank you somuch 💯👍
Welcome 😊
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.
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.
They must have a AC converter from Japan which is 100 volts to Thailand which is 240 volts so you can test it. TV in japan will work in the US & Canada but channel numbers will be different but not Thailand as they used PAL & Japan, US & Canada used NTSC back in the analog days.
Yep yep. All good points.
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.
I need to check that place out .
It’s definitely worth a visit
Nice bro, nice video. Well, brother, Japanese gates are much more valuable than all other countries. 😊😊😊
Japanese gates?
Yes
Were there any vintage toys by any chance?
No, as I had mentioned, at the beginning of this video, it’s musical instruments, audio gear, and cameras only. For vintage toys I would recommend you go to mega plaza. It’s a Seven story toy mall. About 10-20 dealers there are selling vintage toys.
@@LifewithSerg thanks! I found some museum of vintage toys in north of BKK. Will plan to visit that in a week haha
Good Day Serg, I own a vintage electronics store back in the states in Connecticut. I have been following your videos and I am very curious if it will be beneficial to purchase electronics from there and have them shipped here back in the states for my store. Never been to Thailand, but I will love to visit the Lucky.
You can reach out to me via Instagram or the email address that is listed in the written description of this video. Perhaps we can work something out.
Aren’t all pieces 100v? I bought many in Japan when I lived there and they were all 100v.
The little television won't work without a digital to analog converter for reception and would likely be unwatchable due to aspect ratio difference these days. Still cool. I had one as a child and I loved it !
Yes of course. It’s probably not functional anyways. Cool piece though.
Hi , This is Vishnu from kerala, India. Thankyou sir for uploading informational videos. I too love buying stuffs like these.
Glad you enjoyed it!
