Rare Mono Shop ("mono" stands in japanese for thing/s)  renewed their japanese online shop. However they also opened up the english portal for their e-commerce website giving americans the chance to order products like the "USB necktie cooler" or the "ionic air purifier" from a local seller.

The company is known for having various shops in Akihabara selling unusual computer products going from tables you can use while laying down to a mouse that will keep your muscles toned. Their spokesman announced that due to increasing demand from foreigners coming into the store their head office company Sanko decided to make the products accessible on a bigger scale. If customers order from within the U.S. they won't have to be worried about long waiting times or additional tax as all products will be shipped from local storage.

Looking at the site on can see that they are doing a man's job with it but admittedly use some "cute" sounding wording every once in a while.
