Share your knowledge on these two classic MPCs

They seem legit, but their gear looks kinda jacked ( rust, scratches) and their prices are expensive.

Where are you? There are a lot of scammers in Asia, if you are looking for something in particular, I know some different spots to get stuff.

Hello there.

Yes, we are legit. And no, our gear is not "jacked" as mentionned in this forum. What we sell is top quality gear from carefull japanese owners ONLY. (no smokers, no rental) We do not buy scratched items, unless they are very rare. In which case, buyer will be notified of the cosmetic condition BEFORE placing his order. We also make a point to mail DETAILED pictures of the items we have in stock to anybody interested. ALL items are shipped to their manufacturer, or distributor here in Japan for a full servicing. This is one reason why our prices are high. Plus, shipping charges are much higher Japan to anywhere than anywhere to Japan: if you ever visited , you may have noticed that everything is more expensive here. A 20 pds package going to the US or Europe will cost double than if you ship the same from Europe/USA to Japan.
We have a good relation with AKAI over here and have right now 4 mpc3000's there waiting to be serviced.
Best regards, and if you have any questions, please contact us by mail.

I would not call akai's servicing fast. If you send yours there, expect to spend 2 weeks without your mpc. :shock: :cry:

By the way, we have a near mint 3000 at us$ 1498 as a promo. If you want detailed pix of it, just shout.

hey analogjapan,

just wondering, u guys got that many mpcs on ur site but u just now joined this forum???

also ur site says that u had an ebay account ultraman6996, what happened to it? I'm asking because i think I bought a mpc3000LE from that ebay account a few years ago. It was in mint condition. I was too busy to use it and gave all my gear to my cousin and he sold it. One day, when I have enough money, I'll buy another one from you. You should hook me up with a 2nd time buyer discount!

Yes, we used to be on Ebay as ultraman6996, and anyone can view our feedback there by pasting this link:
http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.d ... traman6996

We stopped Ebay due to their listing fees, percentage on sales and the mountain of time wasters that Ebay generates. We are not solely dealing with Europe and the US: Japanese clients need care too and this is time consuming.
Furthermore, make sure the mpc you buy on Ebay are really the one on the pictures. We used to take what I think are VERY NICE pictures for our auctions and ended finding them in other people's auctions. (the girl in the swimsuit playing with an mpc, that s ours). Ebay doesn't care much about that, as you may guess.

Thanks for buying from us at the time. As a return client, I am all for the discount thing, just mail us your email at the time of that transaction, your address and your name. We keep a back up of all files.

For people worried to be scammed, I suggest using an escrow service. It makes the whole transaction a bit longer but you can inspect the gear for a period of time (24/48 etc). www.escrow.com works ok. Beware, there are fake escrows these days ....

We also have a partner in Studio City for locals.
For you guys out there who want to sell us your gear, I just want to say that we avoid buying gear out of Japan, unless it is a very rare piece.
Reason: japanese are really carefull when it comes to their equipment (no pun intended) and it is hard to find anything damaged, unlike in the rest of the WORLD.

Peace !

Not from my experience. I sent my MPC 2500 to Akai USA and received it within the same week. When I lived in Japan, I received the same service from Akai Japan.

Yeah...I remember you as Ultramann of eBay :P Iwas hustlin MPCs on eBay for quite sometime when you popped up. You helped drive the prices of MPCs up at the time. I appreciated that.


But how come you never returned none of my emails? I tried to get an MPC 3000 from you for my own personal use and you never replied when I asked you exactly where you were located?

Analog Japan seems to have mixed reviews. While I like the looks of some of their gear, esp a new old stock mpc3000 (nice if true). Prices are high, but high quality comes at a higher expense. I think I'll stick to ebay for my particular case.


Im on the fence on this one.

By fobedafied Sun Dec 17, 2006 7:24 pm
