I met with the team from Okaimono Japan the other day at the Advance Partners office (my company in Japan) in Shibuya. Okaimono Japan are part of the netprice organization which is one of the largest e-commerce sites in Japan.
The OkaimonoJapan site is based around a ‘gathering’ model. The site contents, goods, are open for 1 week at a time. During that period you can select what goods you want to buy. After the time period is up, the Okaimono guys work out how many people wanted the items and then buy them in bulk.
The more people who want to buy, the cheaper the price becomes. Each week new items get added to the site. The business has only just started and they are looking to relaunch the website, product list later this year when they will roll out their full global service. I will let you know when this starts.
I will be talking with some other managers from netprice about other business possibilities in the coming weeks.
Here are a number of sites operated by netprice.com. some of you may have heard of Tenso.com before.

RT @Shibuya246: Okaimono Japan | Japan | Shibuya246 http://bt.io/58U Sure hope you can help them make this work out . To be able to buy products at a cheaper price=Epic Win for everybody.
Unfortunatually can’t buy anything at the moment, still no job. But to help eveyone in the long run is great. I think dannychoo.com has mentioned tenso for shipping overseas before.
Well keep up the great work 🙂
