Japanese collector resentment : YJ sellers to watch out for

Don't you mean leaning back on a throne of teal debug PS1s?

 

I wanna know the story too.

 

does his nickname start with an S?

 

Ah, I know :nod: I'm not too clued up on the story mind you but I'm 99% sure I know who it was.

Why all the cloak and dagger over who this person is?

 

Because he's / she's a member here as ASSEMbler pointed out. If he/she want's to come forward then they will but I doubt it.

Since when are we in the habit of protecting people who as ASSEMbler said "ruined all foreigners reputations in the 1990's in Japan". Why stay silent about such a person?

 

Hmm, good point. If you think hard enough you'll soon figure out who it is. How many of us on here use Yahoo auctions after all?

You know sometimes I wonder what kind of impact we make, but in the end it seems pretty silly to think that we're really doing much of anything. We're just a drop in the bucket in terms of what sells on Yahoo. You can find specific items that are good buys and the gaijin always get it if they see it. But overall any extra money we're paying is going into the hands of Japanese people anyway. You should count the extra cash distributed throughout Japan as a positive in the situation and not just focus on the random collector every now and then who gets outbid on a gold Mario Golf disk. It's a give and take with a lot of little nuances.
