Answer 1 :
Second hand shops may buy it You can advertise it on Yahoo Auction. You could place an ad in some of the gaijin magazines. The thing is that regardless you probably won't get much out of it in the first two instances. Third, who knows. But second-hand merchandise just doesn't go for as much here in Japan as it does in the U.S. Don't know about other countries.
Answer 2 :
Yodobashi and Yamada and some big stores will buy it. And there are some site like Sofmap that will buy used PC. But I'm not sure they speak English

Answer 1 :
Allways dolars. The Yen is a worthless piece of currency. They will confuse you and take you for a rice eating japanese.
Answer 2 :
Whatever people tell you works better you might want to talk to an expert (if there's even one out there)
Answer 3 :
bux of course.what to see in japan?well see ninjas
Answer 4 :
uh...traveler's checks?
Answer 5 :
Yen, You can use dollars in McDonalds and a few other places but not everywhere. Yen on the other hand can be used anywhere. If your going to convert. Do it outside the airport (Convert a little there so you can get around, You'll probably take a bus to tokyo from the airport and then you'll have to take a taxi and many taxis won't take dollars).... That said, THis is my recommendation... Once in Tokyo, find and international Bank, like Citibank. You can use your foriegn atm card there. Withdrawl the money there, rather than bringing a bunch and converting it at a bank. The fees are higher when you convert instead of withdrawl. (Don't ask me why, seems like the same thing to me) if you're going to make a big purchase, use your credit card. It usually gives you the best exchange rate. What I like to do is Over pay my credit card so I essentially works like a debit card. And you don't get charged an fee for the currency exchange. BTW, if you live in the US... you can be taxed for Laptops and some other electronics when coming back to the U.S... and personally, I've found they aren't that much cheaper in Tokyo.
Answer 6 :
You cannot use dollars in 99.999999% of the places so definitely cash in your dollars for yen at the airport etc. You should check with your credit card company to see if it can be widely used in Japan but that would be another good way to go and to avoid the higher conversion fees at airport banks. Another cheap way to go about it is to buy traveler's checks in yen. Good luck TGW
