The reuse market has been growing steadily in recent years, and is expected to surpass 3.1 trillion yen by 2023 and reach 4 trillion yen by 2030. In this growing market, we have developed an infrastructure-type service that handles the entire process of listing, selling, and delivering goods on behalf of our customers, and we have gained the support of many of them.


The new agency system we have begun accepting applications for offers a business model that enables us to accept items for display by bringing them in or making a business trip to an empty storefront or a corner of a home. By developing community-based services that are not available through direct management, this system can create community-based profit opportunities.



Main features of the agency system

Low capital and low risk (no purchase required, no inventory risk)

Area strategy that can coexist with direct management (direct management for home-delivery service, agents for drop-in and on-site service)

DK Master," a proprietary listing tool, can be used.

Simultaneous listing on multiple malls with a single registration (Yahoo! Auction, Mercari, eBay, etc.)

We hold a former liquor license that allows us to sell rare liquor in Japan.



Initial Cost (Special Plan for Primary Recruitment)

Initial fee: 0 yen (limited to the first 3 companies that apply)

Security deposit: 500,000 yen (refundable upon cancellation)

Initial cost including training, equipment, advertising, etc.: 1.5 million yen and up


*Opening a business at home or utilizing vacant space is also possible. Income/expense simulation and detailed materials are also available.
