I want to find old cheap cool crap like old records and t-shirts and posters and stuff - is it possible to find kitsch in Tokyo or Osaka that isn't already collector-ized?

i thought there were a bunch of frequent visitors to/residents of Japan on this board... no-one?

Momus only shops at high-end boutiques.

those seem to be the only boutiques that exist in tokyo.

i need to stretch my yen a little futher. i know where to buy cheap new stuff at the 100 yen shops and stuff, but cheap old stuff seems to be nonexistant.
