I was in Vancouver a couple weeks ago. There's a nice japanese store (BOOK OFF) that sells used CDs, DVDs, books and manga (imported from Japan and also local).
Well, you can get albums in MINT condition for $3.5, so I went bananas and bought over 50 albums... most of them from japanese bands, but also some music from this side of the Pacific Ocean... Got Emancipation (Prince), Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness for $3.5 each plus lots of Kuroyume, SADS, Siam Shade, Tool, Primal Scream, Izzy Stradlin, Curve, Kiyoharu, Nanase Aikawa, YMO, hide, Dir en Grey and L'Arc en Ciel albums. The best part is that it's very easy to find special editions, also, all the albums and singles I got come with all the stickers/inserts and whatever shit they came with originally
