Time for an Import Stores update...

[Dire 51]

As most of you may know, I have an Import Stores section on the OPCFG. For those that don't, it's a directory of online import stores, as well as reviews from users. Here's the link: http://www.geocities.com/opcfg/importstores.html

What I want to do now is an update. Are there any stores I don't have on the list? Does anyone have any comments they'd like to make about any of the listed stores that they'd like posted there? Go ahead and post any links or comments below... and thanks in advance for the help. :)

For the West Exit he does have descriptions for most of his games now as I use to talk to the guy now and than. he's probably the second best private dealer out there for games.

Videogameimport
There prices are way higher than most places out there now. Some years ago when Saturn and PC Engine stuff was going for a lot on Ebay there prices were competitive with other online stores and Ebay. Now I couldn't even really recommend them to anyone unless you really want a particular title or something that they have.

Buyrite
From what everyone says this place just keep getting worse and worse every year. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

Something else that maybe could be added is adding a link to yahoo auctions and a few of those sites that surrogate bid for people outside of Japan. A lot of times this is cheaper than getting some of the more pricer import games and stuff that you can't get on Ebay like Japanese PC stuff, FM Town Marty etc.

Thanks, I'll add those soon.

Any chance you can post the links to some of those surrogate bid sites here?

Other than Celga which has already been mentioned Rinkya is the other big one.

There's a couple of private dealers that will surrogate bid for you as well but I don't I don't remember who they are anymore.

It might be worth adding that from the people that I've talked to say that Celga is the better of the 2.
