Japanese auctions

[elcanto73]

Has anyone had any experience with this? How it works. Ive seen some nice boxes go for very cheap but as im reading some auctions you cant bid with out a residence address there. This is very confusing.. smh

You buy via Jauce who then ship it to you. But they charge fees on fees on fees on fees...

Too much of a gamble; the photography is HORRIBLE, and the translation barrier is an issue. Most Japanese people don't know English, it's a very insular society (kinda like America, lol)

I’ve been a user and sharer of methods used to buy from there and have had great success as a result of simple attention to detail. Some of my experiences I have shared here and some with friends as one of the early users of yahoo japan.
Remember, above all else, the best units are clear to see among others and there will always be more of the unit you are after.
