I would have liked a couple of those that were missing from my collection. The same page on US ebay is here in case anyone was curious (be sure to scroll down a little).

Yeah, someone is trying to flip it or get their money back because they don’t want it. Since it was just up there in the past month, I guess that they had to DHL it, which would have cost them $120 minimum for shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed in SoDak Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I'd hope they took new pics, else I'd be a-doubtin' the veracity of the offer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Note, the shipping on this auction is from Japan, so it is still over there. This is more someone trying to make a serious profit on an item he bought (or failed to sell in Japan). The Yahoo! price is 15000 yen, as it is still in an ongoing auction there. That's less than $150, $225 if you add worst case shipping, which is way below his $499 ask on eBay. . .so the seller is definitely trying to make a seriously quick buck on something that isn't selling too fast in Japan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+dhe Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 In trying to find a piece of equipment, for a hobby unrelated to the TI. I found unlike China, there are very many products that are produced in Japan, for Japan, and there is very little interest in expanding their market oversea's. In fact it's such a big challenge, there are at least three companies in Japan, that will be your personal buyer! They check if they can get what you want, they quote you a price, you send them money, they buy the product and ship it to you. I'm currently giving https://zenmarket.jp/ a try. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be very dangerous. On Saturday night, I saw a working Yamaha CX5M, bid up to a couple hundred$.

It can definitely be dangerous, such services were pivotal in my quest to complete a collection of Tomy Pyuuta items (and are still really handy in my attempts to complete a collection of 99/4 items released in Japan). I have found a few items there (some literature and a monitor with Japanese text for the controls), but the hunt definitely continues. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
