Japan Private Sourcing Case Deposit™

When the sourcing brief is accepted and active Japan-side search work must begin.

Japan Private Sourcing Case Deposit™ is the paid case-opening deposit for sourcing work that has moved beyond initial feasibility and now needs active Japan-side search, outreach, target comparison, or acquisition coordination.

Use this once the desired object, category, specification, maker, era, seller type, or acquisition brief has enough definition to justify structured work toward finding the right target.

Choose the appropriate deposit level

• Focused Search Deposit — $950: for a defined target brief, limited channel review, initial Japan-side search work, and a tightly scoped sourcing path after the initial review.
• Active Outreach & Acquisition Deposit — $1,500: for broader target search, seller or dealer outreach planning, opportunity comparison, acquisition-path preparation, and more than one viable channel.
• Complex Collector Search Deposit — $2,500: for rare, high-value, time-sensitive, multi-criteria, or movement-sensitive searches where sourcing, proof review, private buyer action, and logistics planning may intersect.

What this case path may include

• Active sourcing-case routing and scope confirmation
• Search-channel, seller-type, dealer, gallery, auction, or intermediary path planning where accepted
• Target comparison, acquisition-friction review, and opportunity prioritisation
• Initial outreach planning and Japan-side acquisition sequencing where accepted
• Identification of proof, condition, compatibility, compliance, export, packing, cargo, or movement questions requiring a separate route
• A recommended execution quote, buyer-side route, specialist review, or escalation into the appropriate JapanSolved™ desk

Important boundary

This deposit opens an active private sourcing case path. It is not an item purchase fund, a guaranteed-find service, a seller payment, a search-result guarantee, a purchase authorization, an authentication certificate, or an export approval. It does not include item price, seller charges, third-party expert fees, physical inspection, negotiation, purchase execution, pickup, storage, packing, domestic delivery, freight, insurance, customs brokerage, duties, taxes, or other external vendor costs unless separately quoted.

This deposit does not guarantee that a target will be found, available, affordable, authentic, exportable, or acceptable to the client. Where a larger accepted scope is required, the deposit may be credited toward that quoted work where appropriate.

After checkout

After payment, complete the assigned intake form using the same checkout email and include the order reference, target brief, visual references, must-have and flexible criteria, preferred condition, budget, destination, deadline, seller or market leads already identified, and the result you need.
