Lets talk about the most recent Japan items that you can really find and most people aren't picking them up yet because they don't think their old enough because I do there just so cheesy I love them. See this I picked this up just for today. I stopped at my favorite Goodwill thrift store saying what can I buy that?s represent cheesy current Japan. Very utilitarian and Sake is big in Japan so Sake made in Japan this is good thing to put away and these even, check this out this is a no brainer it literally says Japan. Even a moron collector could pick this up as a Japan piece. So guess what I paid this Expert Village. One dollar! Just a little tip when you go to thrift shop if it has one X that means one dollar. Ok. Two X a dollar ninety nine secret thrift store shoppers know this. But any way as you can see this is taped together still got the price tag on it but another thrift store savvy item it was fifty percent off yellow tag day. Excellent. So this was marked a dollar ninety nine so to me do the math Expert Village a dollar how much of an incredible bargain is that. Now if I put this in my antique store today I would probably get fifteen, twenty bucks that's a good mark up wouldn't you say. But if you see Japan and it's a Sake set make sure that it doesn't say China believe it or not they drink Sake in China to. As a mater of fact we drink it here to. As a mater of fact I think I am going to have some for lunch. But anyway this is Sake. Sake that's collectible and it's current and you can it's still something that you can find. So then I recommend buy Sake. And then, oh by the way but something to put it in. Japan. Made in Japan.
