JDM Jackpot, Auuuuright!

Well, Today I had to work at Ala Moana Center....And I was kind of disappointed that I couldn't make it out to the cruise today. Anyways, my buddy Kevin calls me up and tells me there selling subaru magazines at the shirokiya book store. I was curious, so I met up with him on my lunch break to check it out..... It was the "Hyper Rev JDM Subaru Impreza STi Magazines" stait from japan.

I asked how they got these magazines. The clerk said some exchange student from japan traded in these magizines for books for school. They were in mint condition, no fingerprints and still "stiff" and in the wraper. The clerk said he didn't know how much there worth so he sold it to me $1.00 each. Needless to say, I picked up everyone they had Vol 13 - 31. I went on ebay to find out how much there worth, and some of these magazines are valued at $25.00 each:

Now I have reading material for the next few months Thought I just share my story

Holy Shirt Dave....score!! I have a subscription through Shirokiya, the most current issue is #38. Some of those issues that you have come with DVDs, but you need a region-free DVD player to watch them. Numbers 23, 26, 27, and 33 had DVDs. Maybe I could watch them one day. Congrats again on the find.
