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.

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 :P

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

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 :(

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 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.

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
