but auctions.yahoo.co.jp

WUT?

Yea, used to use that to import Arcade pcbs and shoot em ups for consoles. Was never good at it though. Been trying with pedals but I always strike out. I guess I should talk to my contacts (but they are all in video games).

But where do you get the pedals for stupid cheap?

Search, exchange rates...

Beauty products MASF / POSSESSED
Current 20,500 yen
Remaining the 1st Bid 2
Exhibitor draiinjau_taba
Simple settlement

Which is like 175. They go for 269 at tonefactor. But you need to pay a service to get it and ship it to you like tenso. I was never very good at it. Its easier to make friends with an eBay seller or a just have friends in general. I look every now and again but never have found any thing I want. And then I forget about it for a while. Ems is pretty cheap shipping really too.

Edit: don't know if that's how future sailors does it, but that's how some video game people do it if the shop won't ship internationally.

MASF group buy? I could use a new Raptio. Or Possessed. Or both.

Yeah, I use a service with a warehouse, so everything I can get in a 30 window goes in one ems package.
And thebyen blows right now, so wooooooooooo

Seriously, sometime soon would probably be the best time for that. Tax return season means splurging. And I would splurge all over the place for another Raptio.

That would be the ultimate in teamwork GAS. Sign me up. Kinda been wanting a kollaps or something. I don't know how you'd figure the details out though.

So I guess I"m' still too dumb to understand how you do this. So the warehouse makes the order? There a minimum buy? Why do you have to use a service?

I guess I'm just not understanding.

You copy paste the yahoo auction listing in, they bid for you (have to use a service because yahoo auctions only take japanese bank transfer payments), thing gets shipped to their warehouse, then they ship to you.
There's no minimum, but it only really makes sense if you're buying in bulk or for something you don't mind paying a premium for.

No more masf/lal deals though.
Also, apparently the lal theremin housing is an empty soap container and ive had a couple margaritas

That's kinda why I never mess with it and only check every once in a while. If somehow things lined up though with stuff other people wanted, I'd do it. Anyway...got lots of stuff coming this week but a vexter instant lo-fi junky came in today. Borrowing it.

INCOMING: BABY BLUE MICROBRUTE SE, MIDI POCKET PIANO, AND A DWARFCRAFT PITCH GRINDER!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Wow!
Congrats!

What univalve said. Good stuff!
