MSW Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 (edited) Just a question about which of the Yahoo Japan auction bidding serices are the best? I'm not looking for the one with the cheapest fee, but the one with the best all around service, most reliable, excellent communication, good turn around time (I fully realise that these services arn't inherently fast...I find item on Yahoo Japan, place my bid with American contact -> American contact informs Japanese bidder, whom places bid -> auction closes and if I win -> Japanese seller ships item to Japanese bidder -> Japanese bidder collects several iteams then ships package to American contact -> American contact distributes package, then ships item to me...this takes time, I realise that) Just looking for the best overall service, that is easy to use, and preferably accepts paypal. Thanks Edited May 5, 2004 by MSW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Check out this thread... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=7602 If Rob (Monkey Nugget) had his service going, I'd say go with him. Reliable and fairly priced. Once he has it back up, definitely... use his service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoBe-Patt Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Monkey Nugget hands down!!! No doubt!!! Got everything I needed in japan from him and shipped here nicely. With a few exceptions of some messed up posters, but that's just posters. Everything else gets shipped here nicely! Highly recommended!

joke-machine Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Is Rob doing his service again? As far as I knew it was a bust becuase of someone who will not be named here *Cough-Arafat-Cough* screwing him real bad with some auctions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was a diff. issue with Rob... but No, he's still not offering it yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mervin Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 www.celga.com I've used them a number of times. Excellent service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joke-machine Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 (edited) Yeah I can voutch for Celga as well. I have used them for a number of years and always have had great service, good turnaround with emails, and pretty quick shipping. They are pretty much the cheapest currently of the Yahoo Japan bidding services. But even with their cheaper prices its still pretty expensive to buy things from Yahoo Japan. But its worth it in the long run, as you can find some things over there that doesn't appear very frequently, or never, in the US. An example of the fees, I won an auction through them for A Transformers Beast Wars God Neptune figure, complete but loose for under $14 (1400 Yen). By the time it gets to me that $14 will have grown to around $40 But its worth it, as the figure shows up very infrequently on Ebay or anywhere else for that matter.
