    I think there are some people using proxy bidders not really to save money but because they probably can't use eBay/PayPal. That would explain the prices being higher than eBay. I have a guy that I proxy for who refuses to use PayPal so in the end if he wants something Yahoo is the only place he can get it so he'll pay more for it.

    I have a Disk-Kun in auction on eBay now and I'm kind of wondering if I would be better off putting it on Yahoo with some English in the description so proxy buyers could find it more easily. I picked it up at a local shop so it's not like it's been on Yahoo before...

    Why do people refuse to BUY things via paypal? It doesn't cost anything, it's safe and it's fast. I can hardly imagine that people buy stuff for more money, with more fees and high shipping costs just to safe themselves from evil, evil PayPal.

    They listen to the few horror stories and believe it stands for every seller.

    I personally quit PayPal because of their anti-Wikileaks stance :p

    I'd noticed YAJ sellers are dumping SFC carts like mad. At times bundles of 40+, sheesh. I'm going to try and find some way to snap up quite a few.

    I'd love a Stars Dreamcast for the collection, but £3k is too much for one console in my opinion.
    Even the Claire version seems to vary wildly. I've seen them go on ebay for anything between £400 and £1,000!

  12. Buyer protection of the interests that it? When you pay to the seller, the seller can not send you the goods. When this happens, buyers feel? Paid the money, do not get the goods they want.

    Well it happens in vice versa too. How many transactions happen on eBay go smoothly? To not use Paypal and or eBay because little Johnny down the lane told you about the time he got scammed is idiotic.

    Mh, that thought never occured to me actually. I've got a picture of the back that I saved years ago when I first saw it on Yahoo.

    yes, I have seen it once in a store. Never knew GaijinPunch had a scan of it though. I wish someone would post a video of it in action though.
