      the glue that nintendo used to hold the screen parts together degrades the polarizing film over time (I believe its the polarizing film at least)

    If you've got a storage device in something, reading the data and writing it back out from time to time will keep the data from rotting. However, it also shortens the lifespan of the circuits. Circuits have a remarkably long lifespan but they do wear out over time from use, like anything else. So for those cartridges that have memory, by all means, run through it, load and save to retain the data, but I wouldn't bother with turning on every device if you're truly interested in preserving them.

    I think using reshipping services still make sense for single items i use buyee to buy stuff from yahoo auctions. shipping has gone up a bit since the russia ukraine bs though i used to be able to get small items shipped for 12 quid but now its about 20 because you cant get sal anymore. It still works out cheaper than buying on ebay or something. Since brexit its a lot better to get items since there isn't customs holdups for multiple days anymore because we have a free trade agreement with japan now. You dont even have to pay import fees under a certain value (think its around £100) and you used to have to do that on anything imported.
    Also it would be cool if you did backlight+bivert on that pocket screen since youre gonna have to remove the polarizer anyway. haven't seen those much since lcd mods became popular

    To be honest turning out anything that is old on once in a while will keep it alive longer and not just that I'll keep everything from that's why I always tell my friends that you need to keep your things fresh by turning them on once a while it doesn't matter if they're on a shelf turn them on and they will not rest or anything like that because of that reason.

    I've been using CD Japan, but there's certain blu-rays that I want to get that are only on Yahoo auctions. So I keep hearing you talk about this website for the past few years now. Maybe I should look into it. Because that particular Blu-ray you can't even buy it on eBay. It's that rare. But it's very affordable on Yahoo auctions. Sadly, CD Japan does not allow Yahoo auctions for the auction or even just the regular shopping site. I think they need to fix that cuz even if it's a regular shopping site they should still approve it but they think it's an auction site. I buy a lot of books DVD/ blu-rays from Japan so I should look into it. Love your videos by the way. Always looking forward to the next video regardless of which channel you post it on. Please do more music. I love it!!
