Japanese stuff....

First post here for me, because I hate ezboard. A few of you guys already know me ;) ....

If you are willing to spend around $400 to import it, you too can get a copy of the Gold-painted Punch-Out (http://page5.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/e9695747) famicom cart. :) (4 days left)

Or, if that's just too macho for ya, you can spend 1/4th of that on getting a copy of Athena, complete with the cassette tape (http://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/47515470) (2 days left) .... gotta love the bikini.

There's better stuff, but I've got bids on 'em.... Of course, you could also just save your money for a trip to CGE.

Are those your items?

I don't know you offhand... But are you in Japan? I ask because I see lots of stuff there I'd like, but most sellers won't ship internationally (I have a couple things coming from one of the rare guys who WILL), and I wouldn't mind maybe working something out...

Nah, only a few of the NES collectors/hunters here know me....

BTW, I'm using Celga as the "deputy" service that places the bids, recieves the items, and ships them to me from Japan. Their website is http://www.celga.com.

Interesting... I'll definitely have to look into that. My first successful Yahoo.jp auction buys are just shipping now; my first attempt -- with a seller who "will not ship internationally" but would make an exception -- didn't work before someone bid the item out from under me... He had some other interesting items, but I haven't had time to check if it's still okay to bid on them, or if they're gone.

I figured I'd share my latest catch, through the guys I mentioned above....
