The contact a local for help thread.

Looking for somebody in the US who has a lot of feedback and trust within the community to send a bunch of eBay shit too. I would then need you to send me all of the items in a nice combined package. Will to pay for shipping fees to UK obviously and would also be happy to do the same for said person. Will also be happy to give a reward of anything you can get in Britain that you might want (within reason, I'm thinking candy here) as a thank you gift .

Ah. Apologies.

 

No worries. Most helpers don't read the thread, so you won't be doing yourself any favours if you try to get help by posting in the thread, though PM is the way to go.

 

I'd happily help out anyone wanting to buy from Trade Me here in New Zealand (although just be aware that shipping anything out of this country is expensive except to Aussie, and everyone on Trade Me has suddenly started trying rip off everyone else. $100 Mega Drive 2s, my ass).

I can also do some BASIC installation things locally (I'm in Auckland, FYI). That means NO PS2 modchips. Simple stuff, though. Saturn modchips (not sure about Saturn switchless mod since I didn't do mine myself, and have yet to do one for my V-Saturn, but I'll upped this if/when I do it), XenoGC (and I promise it won't be a mess like mine, since I know what I'm doing now), etc.

Of course, I now realise I should have PMed this to retro instead but I just typed the whole thing out and sending THIS as a PM would sound even more obnoxious than it already does, so retro, if you have a problem with this, feel free to let me know. I can jump through flaming hoops for you if you want. At least I'd be getting exercise.

 

I've added TankedThomas and also removed 10 inactive users who failed the verification process. None of them have posted in the last 4 months - one hasn't posted since 2011! Half of them have, however, logged in since the verification process began at the beginning of December... but 3 of those 5 disabled their PM notifications.

So.. this leaves us with NO local help in Asia (including Russia) AT ALL. It also leaves us without helpers in Portugal and Norway.

If you're in Asia and want to help (or any country with few or no helpers), please get in touch! Make sure you have PMs on and your PM notifications, either to your e-mail or as a pop-up, so you will be aware when someone needs help.

 

This is why we need teleporters. Screw Sonic Boom, let's break the laws of physics instead (disclaimer: I don't know much about physics and realise that teleportation is technically possible without breaking the laws of physics).

But in all seriousness, not being able to be in multiple places at once, so to speak, has a lot of disadvantages. Kind of ironic, given how comfortable life can be these days, what with all our technological luxuries and what not.

 

Hi all, just mentioning I'll be going to Uruguay in late May / early June for a couple of weeks, in case anyone needs anything from down there (pirate/bootleg famicom & snes games, etc), or if anyone from South America might need anything from Europe, I can carry it with me if I have the space, and ship it from within Uruguay when I arrive.

Cheers!

 

A kind offer! Noted in the first post. You might need to remind me to remove it when you come back

 

I need someone in JP to grab 2 specific art sets for some a pair of super common arcade games (total of 4k JPY)...
The seller can't seem to sell the items, and keeps resisting, but they've blacklisted just about every proxy bidding service out there so I'm a little out of luck.

Thanks in advance- drop me a PM if you can help!

 

I have some items I would love to get in US eBay and US Amazon, but international shipping (or lack of international shipping) is killing me. Can someone who resides in the USA receive the items, put all in a box and send it to me? By the way, I live in Brazil...


In the other hand, if someone want something from Brazil, I'll be happy to help!! ^_^

 

PM members on the list, please - don't ask for help in the thread. Those on the list don't check it - they check their PMs

 

Might be able to help from Japan. Not sure what the verification process is like though.

 

Please add to my local help these pages: www.mercadolibre.cl and www.yapo.cl

 

I can help with any purchase from the Netherlands

main site for consoles is http://www.marktplaats.nl/c/spelcomputers-en-games/c356.html in the game/console section

 

Anyone in Japan want to give me a hand? I'm looking to get one of each of the Yarn Yoshi amiibos: http://www.amazon.co.jp/任天堂-amiibo-...e=UTF8&qid=1436518466&sr=8-15&keywords=amiibo

They won't be restocked until the 16th from the looks of it but my Japanese is pretty rusty.

 

There is a link on the right hand side above the order button that says "Would you like to see this page in English? Click here."
I could help however i have no real easy way to receive payment come to think of it. I wonder if you can send me amazon vouchers from the japan store.

 

After searching Yahoo Japan, and Amazon Japan, I cannot find this figure of Cammy from Yamato’s Capcom Girls Collection.
It must be green, as it's the colour I'm after.



Hoping that a local hobby shop might have some in their store.

 

I think there is a mandrake & labi (not sure if they carry as many toys as yodobashi) in shibuya or that i might be able to take a look for however to be honest its unlikely ill be close to anywhere that will actually have it (AKA akiba). Ill see if i can remember when I'm next around there.

 

That'd be great Paulo, I'd really appreciate it
