Not cleaning before photographing — clean appliances sell for significantly more
Not including year of purchase — buyers want to know the age of the appliance
Forgetting all accessories — missing the rice cooker measuring cup or spatula reduces the price
FAQ
Q: Do Japanese appliances work overseas?
Japanese appliances run on 100V, which is unique worldwide. Buyers in the US (120V), Europe (220V), or elsewhere need a voltage converter. Always state this clearly in your listing.
Q: Why do rice cookers sell so well on Mercari?
Premium Japanese rice cookers (Zojirushi, Panasonic, Tiger) are expensive new and perform far better than non-Japanese versions. Japanese buyers and food-conscious foreigners both actively seek them secondhand.
Q: How do I ship a large microwave?
Use 100-size or 120-size Rakuraku Mercari-bin. Weigh and measure it first. Most standard microwaves fit in 80–100 size (L+W+H in cm).
