    Does anybody know of a third party company that can be used to buy from Korean auction sites?
    Or is there anybody on here that understands Korean and has used these sites who might be interested in helping me get my mitts on some asia only games?

    I can read and write Korean but only the english translated stuff.

    If that helps.

    Im after a korean (asia) only release of a Gran Turismo title. Its the Concept Tokyo-Seoul version. I notice on a different thread that you have helped another member source a copy, was that by using GMarket or a trip to Korea?

    I lived in Korea for a year. I will be going back mid march. I'd be happy to provide you with a copy when I get there.

    Its the version with this cover. You said in the post on alexbrasils thread that it was very common in korea, is that true, how much do they sell for(gbp) out of interest.
    They are quite higly sought after over here as only 10k were ever sold (according to the polyphony site).

    £10 pre-owned. Korea has practically no sealed or new games so condition is massively varied.

    The copy I got for Johnny is very good just the box is a bit beat up but it's a standard PS2 box.

    They were everywhere. I reckon all 10,999 copies are in seoul and nobody there wants them.

    Here is the copy I have [​IMG]

    Out of interest, how much would these fetch on ebay? I could pick up a fair few of them next time I'm away.

    Yeah thats the one im after.
    Im not really sure if they are worth very much on ebay. To a collector then yes but to the average joe then probably not. If you were to list them with shipping all over Europe and to the States you would probably do quite well from people who collect the GT series. I'd take a 2nd copy if i were making your trip but more for trading purposes.
