Hey Guys, just starting my standard kinkeshi set, and was advised to start looking at YJ auctions for a good selection. I cant figure out how to register an account bc the confirmation code is in Japanese, and doesmt translate even id the rest of the page does. Also, how can I tell if they are the originals or repro (keywords to look for), and finally, do most sellers ship to the US, or should they be emailed first? Thanks for the help! Will probably think of more questions! Brandon

It might be helpful to use a site like Jauce.com. You can bid on Yahoo! Japan auctions through them and the seller will send your items to Jauce's address in Japan. Jauce in turn sends everything to you. Jauce and similar sites can pile on fees, however, so look into it closely to make sure it's worthwhile.

Thats fairly helpful, but Im afraid I just cant recognize exactly wgat Im looking fir well enough to know by the pictures whether they are standard kinkeshi, popy's or repro's, and the translations are just fowneight confusing. This might turn out to be a comfusing proposition working on this set. I know it isnt cheap, but Id at least like to know Im buying what Im looking for, Thanks for the help so far!

Which site do you guys use for Yahoo Japan?
I have used Calega but I am not thrilled with it and want to switch to a better one.

We've used Shopping Mall Japan in the past, but not for a couple of years now.

I use Yahoo auctions itself, I don't like using any site.
?
I thought 3rd party sites were required?
