    Actually I was looking at that auction only 1 hour ago! It's the same set that keeps getting put up. I'd like it but not that much to splash out 400'000 yen on it. That's more than a months salary!

    Your wife would cut your bollocks off and roast them on a spit if you bought that. :D

    I'd vote for the first possibility, a purchase like that is inseperably connected with months of submission! In that case, you may should seriously wonder about buying it. :nod:

    Price probably went up as Nomura is one of the survivors of the crash, even buying Lehman. Of course, they reported a several billion dollar loss for 2008. Imagine that!

    The key is "it was new... until my wife found it cleaning, so it's now been played just once". That's is pretty classic. At least she wasn't the type to throw it out.

    A Canadian friend of mine (who could write in Japanese decently) used to just bid on YJ auctions that said "no overseas shipping" and try to bluster his way through. It worked about 50% of the time. His feedback rating always hovered around -1, with like 40 positive and 40 negative :lol:

    He eventually got banned for one reason or another, I forget why.

    A risky strategy, especially if it's something you've been after for a long time. I would thoroughly recommend using a deputy service for those essential purchases.
