    I took a look at Yahoo auctions and there are many good deals but nearly all of them will not ship outside Japan. ie cheap PCE Duo with broken sound.

    Why must I live in USA?

    Ahh, I see. I'm guessing there are fees associated with conducted business?

    Yes, but they diminish if you buy large quantities of items.

    Ive been using FromJapan quite a bit and only have positive things to say with the experience. Overall the fees are very fair and this allowed me to get some hardware that is very hard to find elsewhere.

    I've used friends for this :)))


    It will always cost you some fees but at least you know it's not a robot talking to you like the shit service of Celga.

    I'm probably going to start selling again. I plan to buy in serious bulk, then sell to US buyers.
