Yahoo Japan Auction thread...
 

Started this thread so people could, post links/pics to yahoo japan auctions, you've either won or are looking to bid on.
( good idea..no? )

....also so that people could post tips, shipper reviews, and advice for ways to get stuff out of japan and to your house.


EDIT*

ALOT OF QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN ASKED ABOUT HOW YOU ACTUALLY BUY FROM YAJ (* there's more then one way. )

- This is the Jesse Streeter Method:

Use Google Chrome to translate YAJ, and sort through the auctions to find something you'd like to buy. Email Jesse the link to the auction you want to bid on, and the Max Price that you're willing to pay. Jesse Streeter Will bid on it and if he wins, he'll send you the Paypal invoice for the total cost, including shipping to the states. ( Usually via sea post 5 - 8 weeks )

Good Luck!

buying items off yahoo isnt all it seems. prices are usually around the same that they would be here in the US.
and usually take a giant hike on the last day.

plus shipping is a shit ton.

why that may be true, some items you just can't find in the U.S. and you can on YAJ. it really depends how bad you want it.

Jesse streeter is a professional and a gentlemen tho... im guessing its easiest to reach him when its day time in japan.

I will be offering this service here in the very near future (upgarage and retail purchases available as well). If you have cash in hand and are not going to waste my time feel free to shoot me a pm.

Is there any threads on how to make a profile on there so you can purchase stuff?

I've been wanting to try YAJ for awhile but don't know how to buy

You have to have a japanese bank account to purchase anything over 4999Y on yaj. Other than that just have someone translate it for you and set it up...

Okay thx, so if it's under 4999 then I can use paypal or a credit card?

No, Ryan. It doesn't work that way...I tried already lol. If you need to order something, hit up Bill from B & M. Plus, mainlanders hate shipping shit to Okinawa. Thats where I got my kouki front with lip...but it wasn't cheap.

Also for all the guys trying to order shit from YAJ...its kinda like EBAY in a way, where there are just regular folks selling shit. I highly suggest you use the jesse guy or whatever or someone else thats here in japan to help you out.

But w/e the case BE PREPARED TO PAY some BIG $$$$$. Shipping is a bitch...especially bigger items.

Pretty sure u gotta have a Japanese addy also...

yea you're right... forgot that part

Its not to expensive if sent via sea, altho it does take 6-9weeks from Japan > Australia so the wait is a big drainer..

These are my latest purchase..

Work VSKF 18x10 -5, The best way to get your moneys worth is to package as much as possible, Inside my rim box ive been able to chuck a heap of smaller parts from mates etc.. So between us its relatively cheap!

I'm not a business. YAJ is just a hobby to me.

Almost everything I post that is rare, I find in the vast space that is YAJ. My experience there has been pretty good. I have personal bought and sold items on there for a handful of Zilvians. I first show them a picture or link to item and quote them a price shipped to there door. Beware most items can't be had for any less than Forum/eBay prices. There is a fine line. Sure you may pick up a $250 part for a hundred but most likely your shipping cost (reliable shipping) is going to fill the gap.

I have spent over $4000 on YAJ over the last 3 years. Half of that in shipping. My "customers" here on Zilvia will tell you I always update there status via PM/Email asap. I take pictures when I receive an item and send the pics to the buyer. It is intensely time consuming. I spend almost 3 hrs or more everyday on YAJ. Unless you dedicate a generous amount of time and know what to look for and can translate the very hard to read/understand Japanese you will probably get "upside down" quickly.

With my service, I can't bid on seats, dashes, bumpers, engines/trans, full cars, glass, body panels, heavy drivetrain, ect.

PM Me for more info.

Happy Searching!

Sean @ JDM palace can help you out with all that stuff.

I did it for a while, jsut sucks when people are cheap and cant afford crap, then cry bc they bought something used...

Hey mate, ive seen them a fair bit.. Sure its rare? Especially the key light heaps of them around.. altho ive never seen the green lights before.

I meant as a package deal. I know the sills arent to rare. The key lights arent either.

I've been looking for an RB25 Ikeya Formula shifter for a while now with no luck.. Might just order it new I guess..

If you want wheels jdm-wheels.com does it for a very fair price and if you are in LA you

can pick up from the Warehouse saving money on shipping!!

Email Roo on the site!! Stil waiting on my wheels to come in!! Cant wait.

is that the right link? ^^^

Sorry its fixed now!

i have used memoryfab a couple times for a set of wheels, and also had a complete set of leopard (jdm m30) headlights, grille, and sidemarkers imported. prices weren't outa control. just takes time, be patient. tried to use jdm wheels.com and got one reply, asked some more questions, and never heard back again......

Ive sent Roo countless # of emails and all have been replied to, (he replies mon -fri) and his quote

saved be over 200 in charges over jesse streeter (sp) if its small go throuhg

him i gues but i dont know Roo's charges for smaller items!

You've peaked my interest. I'll be in contact with in in the future when you get up and running.

I've gotten both sets of RSs and my Regas through Kevin, in addition to a LOT of other shit - not to mention a sweet night of street drifting in Yokohama :cops:.

He's definitely legit, I just wish I lived down the street from him in Japan like I did in Norfolk, haha.

Jesse Streeter x1000000!, got my kouki lip from him today. Gonna order more stuffs. Ships to hawaii while other services do not... and his fee's are the cheapest i've seen. Communication is top notch. Superb.

used jdm wheels always come in baller sizes.

... I need to get my money up >_<
