Looking For Yahoo Jp Buyer Please

[cowie165]

Hi guys,

Think what you like - I build model cars/planes/etc. when I have spare time and have found a few rare kits for sale for cheap in Japan.

If you have a Yahoo ID and might be able to help me have them shipped to Sydney, please reply or PM. I can direct deposit some funds for bidding but would prefer to handover some cash in Sydney area.

Thanks guys, a shot in the dark, I'll see how I go

And I know Zac will buy bits from Yahoo but his service fee is nearly $40 per purchase - the bids I'm looking at are only around Y2-3,000 plus post so it's not worth using Slidewize. If you're in Sydney I'll happily provide some liquid refreshment to say thanks for your help. Cheers.

rinkya is your friend for models/cels/figurines.

although, most models and stuff can be mailed, let me know what you want (ie yahoo id, preferably one that hasn't gone through a translator) and I'll give you an estimate to have it mailed to you.

Thanks Shan, I'll chase the links down and post!

btw is rinkya an SAU nickname or an online store or something?

I can see where you are coming from - but whether it's a $1000 car part, or a $10 model - the time invested (bidding, dealing with the seller, the deliveryman and then the hassle of the post office) - is the same. I can't see how it would possibly be cheaper doing it from sydney.

anyway, good luck finding someone (I know there are some people who charge below $40)

Yeah that is around the fee I ask and the reason is that if you run purely off a % you end up buying cup holders, magazines etc and spending ages organising stuff for $10... not really worth it

That said though if you are getting a few models off the same person/shop I might be able to do them at the same time and charge less commission.

Anyway no middle man here

Thanks for the replies guys. To be honest, I was actually after a mates' rates transaction rather than a commercial one.

np.

try http://www.f1kits.com/ they specialise in buying model etc of yahoo. i think they may be cheaper for that kind of stuff.

[cowie165]

Thanks Richard, that's what I'm after! I don't know how you found him, actually, it was probably buying Soarer stuff...?

Thanks mate

looking at that guys fees minimum fee is 2000 yen which quickly jumps up once the item is over 10k yen...

you are paying for a middle man there plus you need to leave a deposit. I buy and send the item before asking for cash.

bleh ppl wanna pay more go right ahead.

yeah i have bought a few bits of jeff (f1kits), but just from stock he had, not from yahoo. I just posted up his link as i know he started out just selling models from yahoo.

Streeter, i wasn't trying to step on your toes mate, i was just posting up the link as i know he buys and sells models. personally i agree with what you said earlier. That it's not really economical to buy small cheap stuff from yahoo as it's just as much effort for the buyer to buy a 1000yen model as it is to buy a 70000yen power FC, yet people don't want to pay the same fee for both. I think this is why a lot of agents wont even sell small cheap stuff anymore as no one wants to pay. Which is a shame as for some hard to get stuff it's the only way. Good luck with the work mate. I may just need your service some time

[Streeter]

its all good, Im just being soppy cause Im getting very little business lately.

[cowie165]

Hi Streeter, sorry mate I must have totally missed your post

I'll shoot a PM your way next time I see this kit and might grab a few to make it worth our mutual while.

Cheers bud!

if your interested i usually charge 10% of the total cost with a minimum fee of 1000yen. dont mind doing it cheap as long as i dont loose money.

[funkymonkey]

If the item's cheap and it requires little effort, I'll do it for $15, as long as you pay for all expenses incurred (ie internal postage, international postage, yahoo fees etc). Send me the Yahoo ID's of the stuff and I'll see if its feasible.
