 Japanese Buying Service? Still learning about all the different options to buy... JP toys of course!  Does anyone have any experience with this service? http://tokyobuyers.blogspot.com/I just found them, and I'm wondering if anyone has had good experiences with them? Might be a good option in addition to Celga? Apologies in advance if this is against the rules for posting

Re: Japanese Buying Service? Interesting. Never used them but at least they're offering a better rate than celga.

Re: Japanese Buying Service? just be careful. I'm always hesitant with people who haven't even shelled out the money to register a domain.
Sure you gotta start somewhere but caveat emptor.

Re: Japanese Buying Service? i've seen them selling their "services" on ebay before...like $1 auctions to learn how to buy stuff from japan.
technically, they're here near me just outside of boston.
get some legit info from them before sending any money that's for sure.

Re: Japanese Buying Service? I've heard nothing but good things from the folks over on ToyboxDX.

Re: Japanese Buying Service? I know I don't post here too often, but I can tell you they are good people and good personal friends of mine. I've known Steph since we were 13 years years old (good god, that's 20 years now... ) and Kohei, her husband, for about 9 years or so. They handle all my yahoo transactions without fail. In fact, they pretty much starting doing it because of me. You can use their service with no worries...

Re: Japanese Buying Service? missy wrote: hey! are you on flickr? you have a big collection of American Monster toys too, right? Yeah, I used to be, but I haven't bothered with it in a while, nor have I renewed by account there. Not only did I get bored with it, but they closed my friend's account there with no explanation or anything. He had probably thousands of photos he'd uploaded.. all gone. So in support of him... fuck flickr. I did just upload a new batch of collection pics to CollectionDX though... lots of new monster pics...  http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery/Col ... ber272008/

Re: Japanese Buying Service? ahh yes, I think I know who you mean! Zombophoto's disappearing flickr was indeed a sad day for those of us who drooled over his collection shots. My boyfriend bought some stuff from him on Universal Monster army. Toy collecting is a small world.

Re: Japanese Buying Service? Actually, I was talking about Zombophoto. I had no idea Toy Ranch's disappeared too! Yeah, that's a shame. It is indeed a small world. And I'm always around (both here and at the UMA, as well as ToyboxDX, CDX, Robot Japan, etc.. ) but I just tend to lurk more than anything else. I usually will only chime in if I feel I really have something to add, which is rare, or to respond to a direct communication..
