Is there anyone who can give me a hand choosing a seller for this game from Amazon Japan. I need one with the case, manual and disk in good condition. I don't give a hoot about the spine card. I'd like a seller with good feedback who can ship quickly. I'd rather not take the new one listed for 5,800 yen. I'd be most gratefull for any help I can get. Thanks!

Do you have a reshipping service lined up? Most Amazon sellers won't ship internationally.

Yes, I do have a service lined up. I asked them the same question about the game and either I didn't word the question properly or they didn't understand what I was asking because they merely pointed out the one listed as new. I've tried using translation software to make my own decision and I can't make heads from tales of these descriptions...

"There is no belt. The commodity is ending of the start check after it cleans it. It is when there are some Kiz and dirt for second-hand goods."

"Belt none. There are feeling and a pain in the manual. The disk is excellent. There is rubbing in the case."

"The mail service can be sent out to the post without the door plate . . . When there is Kiz in * surface of the board that is, Kiz somewhat and dirt, etc. have confirmed the start that has been cleaned, and are » because it is second-hand goods that will be ground and sent out by packing *"

"Belt none. There is Jakettoyake. Cases have been exchanged. DISC is beautiful."

My translations:

#1: No information about the condition of the product: just shipping and refund policies.

#2: No obi. Product has been cleaned and confirmed to start. Being a used product, it may have some dirt and blemishes.

#3: No obi. Jacket is faded. Case has been swapped. Disc is clean.

#4: No obi. Manual has some use and wear. Disc is nice. Case is worn.

#5: Disc has been cleaned and confirmed to start. Being a used product, the case, manual and disc may have small blemishes or dirt. Disc may have marks from the polishing process. [no mention of obi]

"there is no belt" belt = OBI = spine card ?

"there is no belt" belt = OBI = spine card ?

That's right. Obi (帯) means "kimono sash," "belt," and can be used to mean, "to wear." It can also mean "zone," like "arctic zone," "danger zone," et cetera. It's also the word for those spine cards that are on the side of pretty much every CD or CD game.
