Kakebuton anyone?

[ZeroX686]

Hello, this will be my first post here. So before I ask, I would like to say hello to everyone here. This site has been very informative for myself, and I have learned a lot so far. Anyway...., onto my question.

I am looking to find a kakebuton somewhere for sale on the internet, that is a little reasonable in price. I've been finding these things at online Japanese stores like www.jlifeinternational.com and such, but their prices are GOUGING! As in $300+ for ONE kakebuton. Is this a normal thing? Would one have to shell out that much for one of these? Anyway, if anyone knows a place that has them for a little more reasonable price, I'd appreciate it if you could post here. I don't mind if they are used or not. Anyway, thank you everyone for your help, and I'll see you around.

You only want a kakebuton and not a shikibuton right? I live next to a big Hasegawa warehouse (home furnishing store). If I remember I'll check on the way home what the 'offline' price is. 300 bucks sounds a lot though.

Somewhat amusingly, my first futon (provided by my company when I first came to Japan) was made by Martha Stewart Inc. How's that for traditional authenticity? ;-)

Yes, I only need a kakebuton for now. lol, Martha Stewart eh? Ah well, I didn't expect that one honestly. But hey, if it works it works.
