Bidding on Yahoo Japan through Rinkya

[Aldwin]

Hello everyone!

 

I just wanted to know if anyone here has tried bidding on Yahoo Japan through Rinkya? YJ sellers have some nice blades and fittings up for auction, but I can't read the Japanese characters so I use the translation service and bidding service offered by Rinkya. If anyone has tried bidding on Yahoo Japan or using Rinkya, any inputs are highly appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Well I dabble on Yahoo Japan. But the high end gear will always end up with a decent price. Don't go there expecting to find any hidden treasures. The stuff sold off on auction sites is mainly the stuff they can't shift on the internal market.

 

Personally I use http://www.japanauctioncenter.com for this. They're nice to deal with, when you ask them something, they'll reply within 24 hours and recently they did some updates on the site which improved the experience considerably.

 

But again, if you're looking to buy high end stuff, be prepared to pay high-end prices. Also never forget your shipping costs and possible customs fees.

 

I always go by the motto "If you're serious about buying something, you should go through a serious dealer"

Hello Dirk,

 

Thanks for the reply and for sharing that site. They offer a better price for their service than Rinkya. I hope to use them in the future.

 

I'm not really looking for some high end stuff at Yahoo Japan, just some good looking ones for a reasonable price.

 

Thanks again!
