Selling back anime goods in Japan?
Many shops that sell any merchandise have counters where they buy stuff from members of the public. But what sort of ID (if any) do you need in order for these places to buy stuff from you? Do you need a Japanese address? Basically, could a foreign tourist sell things to the shops?
I did wonder because at at least one of the places I saw them filling out fairly long (well, at least one full side of A4 paper) forms, so that made me think that ID and/or an address may be required.

I have never sold anime goods, but when selling used equipment like computers I always had to show an ID card of somesort and fill out a form, which is entirely written in Japanese.
Some shops might accept your passport, if you can speak Japanese enough it might work.

ID is necessary to prevent dealing in stolen goods.
Generally you will be required to have either of driver's license, insurance certificate, employee ID card, student ID card, resident card, or passport with Japanese address.
Credit card, cash card, commutation ticket will not be valid ID.
So you need to have a Japanese address.

Generally, you do not need any ID there. Because transaction is short and with low amount.
Just bring a stuff you want to sell. They will offer its price. If you agree, they would buy it.
But you need to communicate in Japanese.
