Selling used air purifier, is there a shop I can sell it to?
mercari is probably ur best bet like the others said but if you really want a shop try treasure factory, theyre a bit better than hard off on pricing sometimes. the one in shinagawa usually gives a bit more for levoit stuff since they see them a lot. just bring the box and manual if u still have it, makes a difference
if you're set on a physical shop, try hard off in akihabara or 2nd street in ikebukuro. they take random home electronics but expect maybe 1000-1500 yen max since levoit isn't a household name here like sharp or daikin. the filters are still clean so that might help your case
honestly the facebook sayonara groups are a decent middle ground too, less fees than mercari. i've seen levoit purifiers go for 2500-3000 in tokyo cheap goods group within a week
yeah what they said about mercari is prob your best bet, but if you really want to hand it off in person check out 2nd Street in Shimokitazawa. the one near the north exit, they have a small electronics section in the back and they're less fussy than Hard Off about brands. they gave me 1500 for a Dyson fan once which felt decent. just wipe it down and bring the original box if you still have it, they're weird about that stuff

Where can I find crispy, pan-fried bacon similar to a certain international style?
if u have a costco membership the kirkland thick cut is the move, 4 packs of 500g for around 2500 yen and it crisps up proper in a cold pan. for smaller runs, precce in azabudai hills & the basement at isetan shinjuku both carry imported US & danish brands in the chilled case, just read the label for "thick cut" or "smoked" and not "loin". also worth knowing japanese bacon is often wet-cured so pat it dry before frying or it steams instead of crisping
kaldi coffee farm is hit or miss but their smoked bacon from denmark shows up pretty regular, the 200g pack runs about 600 yen. what actually works better for me is asking the butcher counter at peacock or life to slice the block bacon thick, like 5mm, they do it for free and it crisps way better than the pre-packed stuff. also fwiw cheap bacon crisps faster, the fatty supermarket kind at 300 yen a pack works fine if u cook it from cold in a dry pan and pour off the fat as it renders.
tbh the gyomu super store brand bacon is surprisingly decent for crisping up, its not thick cut but if you cook it low and slow it gets pretty crunchy. the key is the dry cure vs wet cure thing, wet cure steams. also check hanamasa if you have one nearby, they sell big packs of american style bacon thats actually smoked and firm.
