    Can I buy from there directly? Or I have to use an intermediator like in Yahoo Japan? I want to buy some Supa Aladin'Boy games.

    well, you have to find out if the sellers ship internationally or not.
    You can also buy from Yahoo Japan if they ship internationally, but most of the time you will need a bidding service because they won't do that.
    Don't know how the koreans think :)

    Maybe you can try to translate the text to English to find out or communicate with the seller at http://babelfish.altavista.com but the translations are kinda crappy so goodluck ;)

    the thing is 99.998% of the seller won't even respond to English - not they don't want but don't know how...

    I've tried buying Gam*boy stuff there before, but the language barrier just totally cripples any chance of a sale. I tried asking one of the international shippers who understood English to communicate with one of the other sellers for a fee, but the other seller refused to send the item to the UK. Its a pity, theres some nice stuff pops up on there sometimes.

    For me language is not a problem but the shipping charges kill the deal...
    And I only go to Korea whenever I visit Japan which is about 2-3 times a year...
