Amemoba Glass Case

When you use your smartphone actively, it can sometimes malfunction or even break completely.

At times like these, you may be unsure about whether to buy a new model.
However, today's smartphones, even if they are only a few years older, have features that are comparable to current smartphones.

That's why buying second-hand is an option.
This time, I would like to introduce you to "Amemoba" in Akihabara, which has specialists who deal in used smartphones.

The cheapest in Akihabara! Amemoba!

Amemoba store exterior

Amemoba, located in a corner of the Electric Town just outside JR Akihabara Station, advertises high purchase prices, cheap repairs, and extremely low sales for used smartphones.

Although the store is not very large, it is very clean, the products it sells are well maintained, and it is a popular shop in Akihabara that is highly trusted by users.

The concept of the store is "super cheap"
We strive every day to provide our users with reliable smartphones that are cheaper than any other store in Akihabara.

This time, we interviewed a staff member at Akihabara's "Amemoba," and would like to introduce the store with some interior photos.

Interview with Amemoba staff

The interior of the Amemoba store. It's neat and tidy.
This store specializes in smartphone products, especially iPhones and iPads.

--Thank you for joining us today. First of all, please tell us about the concept of your shop.

The concept of the store is, of course, "super cheap." How should I put it, the word "super cheap" is used when you want to exaggerate something.

Even when shopping online, the speed of shipping is often described as "super fast," so our store's concept is to be cheaper than anywhere else.


──So you're conscious of offering cheaper prices compared to other stores.

That's right. We also run regular campaigns, and I think we regularly run campaigns to highlight our low prices.


--We're still in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, but is this causing any disruption to your business?

We opened this store during the COVID-19 pandemic, so we haven't really noticed much of a change yet, but during our recent SE2 campaign, we had so many customers lining up, so I do think that in that sense we are able to resist the effects of COVID-19.

iPhone inventory

What products are currently selling well in your store?

In terms of products, it's the iPhone. The iPhone SE and iPhone 8, which are on sale, are the best sellers in our store.


--What strengths does your store have that other stores don't have?

In terms of sales, our prices are very low, but when it comes to repairs, we aim to do more core repairs than other stores, such as Face ID repairs, so we believe that being a retailer that can also do repairs is a strength of ours.

Amemoba also offers repair services
The store has experienced staff who repair smartphones every day.

--Do you also offer Touch ID repairs?

They don't currently offer Touch ID repairs, but I think they do many parts that other stores don't do.
Data recovery and board repair. That's the kind of thing.


──That includes recovery, right?

Yes, we do, depending on the symptoms.


--So while you're a retailer, you're also repair specialists?

Well, that's true. It's a bit strange to say it like that, but that's actually what you can say.
Although we are an "extremely cheap retailer," we also carry out core repairs.

Amemoba's Coronavirus Prevention Sheet
There are two staff members on-site at the store, and a specialist will be on hand to answer any questions.

--Please tell us about the future development and prospects of your store.

Our Akihabara store has just opened, but there are many competitors, so we want to compete with them and not lose out. We want to do everything related to smartphones, including buying, selling, and repairing, in our store.


──Finally, do you have any message for us?

That's right. When it comes to buying, they sell at high prices, when it comes to selling, they sell at low prices, and when it comes to repairs, they are also able to handle advanced repairs.

We believe we have many strengths that other companies don't have, so we would be thrilled if you could come visit our store and find out more about them.
