    Hey Guys,

    A mate of mine came back from Japan with infuriating tales of how used console hardware was being basically thrown away for tiny prices.

    My question is this...

    Is there a service for someone who would just go to a shop like Super Potato (or similar) buy a Console/Game/Acessory etc and then ship it to you.

    EG. If I wanted a Super Famicom price would be advised as Cost from shop + freight + reasonable buyers fee. Payment would be upfront and freight would be insured/registered to make sure nobody got hurt.

    Assembler forum members in Japan with some time on your hands I am talking to you!! someone should totally do this.

    Best I can find are the Yahoo forwarders where a $30 Sega CD becomes a $150 sega CD once all their fees are added.

    Also Sorry If I started this thread in the wrong area. wasnt sure but thought this would be the best fit.
