Being a very special MSX1 I tried to contact to the Japanese beep shop to get more information and I finally succeeded. For those interested, They told me they can sell these unused MSX1 computers outside Japan but there are some things to take into consideration:
1. The price/unit is 185 euro without shipping nor Paypal fee (4.2% of total). Pending to add customs taxes, etc They would send by EMS (maybe more expensive) and according to their words the shipping cost for the whole of Europe is the same. Anyway they also accept other cheaper transportation companies.
2. They only will sell if 10 or more people are willing to buy. They can make discount/unit, it depends on how many people are interested.
3. The form of payment should be joint payment.
4. They would send the packages to one destination only. This is a problem because several of them should be sent again to their respective buyers. Maybe they are flexible in this respect, not sure...
Well, that's all...
Tried to contact them by mail - no reply. Maybe they don't want to write in English...
They reply in English.
Just a few things:
1) It's not an MSX-only store. They sell all kinds of Japanese retro equipment: NEC PC-6001/8801/9801, Sharp X1/X68000/MZ, Fujitsu FM-Towns, MSX, arcade boards, etc
2) There are enough of these PX-V60 for everybody. The stuff they have in the shop is about 1% of what they have in the warehouse.
3) The owner of the shop, Mr. Kobayashi, is very interested in the games released by Eurosoft. If you have originals of these in good condition, then probably you can trade them for something interesting.

Wow! They uncovered a nice stockpile there!

Nice :).
Next time I’m in Japan I’ll make sure to pay BEEP a visit!

Actually, I was referring to the store stock in general, not just these Pioneers. But yes, there are a lot of these PX-V60 as well.

They never replied to my mails. What e-mail address did you use to contact them?
I would like to buy one of those Konami SCC cartridges, to play some music with it.
On e-bay they are annoyingly costly.
I have a MFR + SCC+ + SDcard and it is super great, but I would like to verify what is the sound of real hardware.
If there''s a joint buy , I'm interested in a new PX-V60.
