Ahhh, japan surplus! I also missed visiting one! Usually the one's near our place are korean surplus. The japan surplus near our place just closed a year ago...so I'm now stuck with korean surplus or mixed ones. I do that online price comparing too, but mostly on the clothes and shoes that I thrift. My mom sometimes does that too, especially when she sees my stationery section. She often rants that I don't immediately use them, to which I always reply I can use them...well, maybe not now but someday hehe...and as for the community, it looks pretty much silent to me. I'll see if there's someone who’ll post something there one of these days…maybe I'll follow the lead. Thanks for sharing it by the way :)
