Hey, looks like one of the Lurkers Ramos referred to in another thread has set up an E-bay store catering specifically to people on this board....... or that is just my impression. Majin Banders, RealXHead, Blobpus, etc..........our old YJA friend Beehive128! Bringing the hard to find to the masses - one piece of vinyl at a time!
well this Beehive128 guy is buying stuff from YJA and selling it on ebay. He has outbid me a number of times and then it just pops up on ebay!!!!!! One auction on YJA I was bidding on I wanted real bad and he bid it up to 25000yen and then quit so I had to pay a shitload more for the auction.
his name is Katsumi and he's a great dude. he works at mandarake and has been going to to the various gests and buying stuff for resale.
well Frank I know you know how it is to get your auctions bid up!!!!!!!!!!! That is why I make sure and not bid on any of your auctions!!!!! but I am done bitching about this because this is the way of the world and there is nothing I can do.
He is one of my favorite sellers. Very nice guy. I say don't bid against him on YJA, that way the ebay prices will be cheaper.
well when I got a high bid on something on YJA and he bids it way up in the last 3 min there is nothing I can really do, plus I hate Ebay so I would way rather get my stuff from YJA. I don't have a problem personally with the guy because he is probably the guy I talked to the other day via email and he was really cool. Like I said this is the way the world works!!!!!!
I wonder what he is gonna make us pay to win this guy http://page4.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d59766489
Even more random than that http://cgi.ebay.com/BEMON-pre-order-rea ... dZViewItem Has up a bid for a preordered unshown bemon figure...
I have bought a couple of items from Katsumi also, I think he seems like a stand up guy. My items were shipped very fast and packaged just fine. It just sounds like he is just trying to profit ,from a business standpoint thats what it's all about isn't it. I have never tried the YHJ thing , mainly because it sounds very expensive. From what I have read on this board it sounds like the people who make out the best have deep pockets and or use a middle person to help with purchases - OUCH ! Thats gotta add up to some serious doe.I think thats why we usualy sound off with joy when we here Brian's announcements. Just one of the joy's of collecting vinyl. NOW , where is that pink Medicom Skullbrain ? PLEEEEZE !
Quick shipping and good product...Ebay is a business! I placed a bid on the Bemon presale, wish me luck!
I'm along the same lines as you Shifta. YJA seems a bit out of reach and am damn excited when S7 get some gear I'm keen for.
I can't believe I got outbid. I am actually happy I don't have to pay $150 for that figure. I wonder who the high bidder is?
