Rindou auction
Apr. 12th, 2015 01:16 pmHell yeah! \O/
I just won an auction for Rindou at 9,250 yen!
Man, and I was seriously considering going for the ones with a Buy It Now price at 12,000 yen. I saw one with a BIN of 11,000 yen sell yesterday and I was kicking myself. But then I decided to just go ahead and try bidding on a cheaper auction.
Huh, there was less competition than I was expecting. One person had already bid when I put my bid in, then another person bid (or it could have been the same person, who knows...) Oh yeah, I can just check. Ah yeah, looks like it was the same person.
I was expecting hordes of people frantically bidding on the auctions for Rindou.
I got it through this new proxy service called Zenmarket. They are apparently cheaper than FromJapan and have a flat service fee, as well as an automatic bidding system for Yahoo Auctions.
So, yeah, don't be hasty. Think things through, take your chances and try bidding rather than jumping at high BIN prices. It doesn't hurt. Bidding is damn nerve-wracking though... but kind of exciting.
I'm actually a bit wary of FromJapan. I've read some not good things about them. Sure, the last two things I got from them were absolutely fine but I didn't really want to take the risk for Rindou. Imagine if they sent me the wrong item or something. *shudder* It doesn't bear thinking about.
I want this to be absolutely perfect. I want Rindou to come to me in perfect condition, with no issues whatsoever. I paid 9k yen for it after all.
Kiiiind of tempted to EMS it... well, we'll see. SAL may not be available. Vava tweeted that it was 2kg. o_o; Though I wonder if he was overestimating. I mean, my Little Busters artbooks are only about 1kg. I don't see how an artbook can possibly weigh so much. I think it's less than 200 pages. Anyway, we'll see. Zenmarket's got quite a wide range of choices for shipping though.Maybe I could use DHL. They got all my Little Busters Refrain BDs from Amazon to me just fine. Having the option to avoid ParcelFarce is also nice. Never mind. DHL's way more expensive. @_@
Hauuuu~ I can't wait~ Must have this glorious artbook!
