Vintage Audio Nagoya (VAN)Save Shop

I will be temporarly closing again July 1st to Sept 1st 2026 to go back to the USA to visit my parents. I will reopen Sept. 1st. Thank you for all the purchases and enjoyable interactions. There is still time to get something great!
I'm an American that has been living in Japan the past 20 years. I have been collecting vintage gear and have too much stuff. I have a lot of tape echo machines of all kinds. Many bizarre old Japanese guitars, pedals, amps, mixers etc. I also scour the little antique stores and junk shops looking for odd audio treasures. I will describe my items as accurately as possible. Shipping overseas can be expensive so I would like to avoid any disappointments. The last thing I want is a return request. You are also always welcome to pick up directly from me in Nagoya, Japan.
I will post many pictures and when possible a video of the items. Please feel free to ask any questions you have and keep on rocking in the relatively free world. Thanks, Mark
About shipping--I carefully pack and ship from Japan with various methods. UPS, EMS, Japan post etc. Some larger heavier items I recommend surface shipping, it's slow but much cheaper.
Any customs duties, tariffs and import procedures are the buyers responsibility. As is any national, local or state tax.
Please be aware of the requirements for your home country.

International shipping is based on weight and size and most of my machines are heavy, that is the reason for the high shipping costs. "Rest of world" rates vary by country and the posted rate covers most. I can't ship to some countries due to restrictions. South America is not covered in the rest of world rate. I estimate shipping costs. I often pay more than the listed cost to ship. I will not refund if shipping is less. Contact me before purchase if you have shipping questions or prefer a shipping option not listed.

Ask any questions you may have before making a purchase. Any refunds reqested before shipping will be charged a 10% cancellation fee due to changes in Reverb policy. (reverb now charges fees on seller cancellations) Please be certain before purchasing. If an item is returned by shipper after repeated delivery attempts or for refusal to pay tariff or customs duties, I will refund purchase price (minus restocking fee) but all shipping charges and unpaid tariffs are the sole responsibility of the purchaser and will not be refunded. Any unpaid fees, duties, tariffs will be deducted from the refund. Be sure of any fees, unrelated to the purchase price, charged by your country.
All product descriptions are personally written and are protected by copyrights, as are the video demos.

Thanks and keep vintage gear alive--Mark
