Importing SACD Players from Japan

I'm pretty handy with fixing up electronics. I have fixed up a lot of hifi equipment over the last year for friends/family and even did some refurbs to sell (mostly cassette decks). I've been in the market for an SACD/CD player over the last year and looked to Japan due to the prolific availability of good SACD players there compared to the US.
I ended up buying a high-end Denon unit in excellent condition that needed minor laser calibration for a fraction of what I could find in the US market. I used a third-party service that handles repackaging specifically to the US market. Anyone else out there look at Japanese auctions and such for deals on hifi equipment, especially SACD players due to the popularity there compared to the west.
