Well, I ordered few LDs separately and they were shipped packed one by one by the seller. Thinking their consolidation would at least tape all these LD-sized packages together, I went for consolidation. Shipping went down by the price of of the consolidation, so no gain there. US$250 of LDs, $150 of shipping. When it reached them, they just unpack all the LDs, threw them in a soft box with no packing/bubbles, wrapping and shipped it like that. After 2 days in EMS shipping, it arrived like that: Attachment:

Quote: Buyee: When consolidating, we keep packages in the exact state as we received them from sellers and pack them into one bigger box. Not true, they removed all the LD previous packing and just dumped them all in an unfitted box for cheap. Probably thanks to EMS, only the top LD on the pile got its cover damaged and protected the others. Julien

audioboyz1973 wrote: laserdisc_fan seems to have had a very good and long run with that company. When you say "Helped me track down obscure titles" do you mean they went beyond the usual online shopping options like checking bricks and mortar stores in Japan? What I mean is I sent them a wishlist and they actually found the titles for me from whereever they could online - they could come from literally anywhere. I got some great bargains that I would never have found myself. I wasn't sending them an easy wishlist too - nearly everything I am searching for is insanely hard to find. They maintained my wishlist for a long time and tracked down quite a few, some within days and others took several years. With them being able to speak and write perfect Japanese they had far more success than me and before they bought anything on my behalf they always confirmed if I still wanted it. It was a bit like having a personal assistant to track stuff down but there was no charge. Personally I think I would be crazy to change to another provider. I've used Rinkya for 10 years from when they had a very basic but functional GUI to the current one which is fantastic which by the way they also made some improvements to that I suggested when it was first released. There's a reason I score all the best titles - I'm using Rinkya!

Sometimes they turn up pristine after being described as used buy at own risk etc but sometimes they turn up with the worst s**t imaginable after being described as pristine. For example: Big a** blood stain on the a** of some pants described as "shinpin", used condoms and onigiri wrappers in the pocket of a jacket described as "A+" condition...paid Y30,000 for that f***en jacket too...

But sometimes I think that fanboys think Japanese people are gods walking the earth or something. Quote: However, the amount of used items in good condition is much higher. Not in my experience. Very very rarely have I been ripped off on ebay with item not as described. I have never had the kind of shocking biohazards turn up in stuff off ebay as I have from Yahoo Japan. The occassional dirty piece of electronics but not used condoms! Quote: I've bought a lot of stuff from where I live, USA and Japan. So have I. I lived in USA and Japan for considerable periods and have imported a lot of stuff from both countries since i first became an ebay member in 1998.

With regard to Japanese stuff being taken care of...sometimes, sometimes not. You have to carefully examine pics of LDs in Japan, especially stuff like light colored box sets and jackets, as stuff yellow from nicotine and humidity seems to crop up often enough. On the other hand, LD boxes that could cost almost $1000 were generally taken care of, and most LD's from places like urabanchou and surugaya (RIP to both ) I got were just amazing and basically new with all inserts, posters, obis, mint.

Yeah I'd agree with this. Generally shops in Japan present the customer with a very good product and if it's less than perfect then it's CHEAP. See Hard Off. Individual sellers vary and yes 90% of the population smoke so nicotine stains are common on clothing and sometimes not noted or photographed in listsings. I'd say on the average Western sellers are more reliable on ebay than Japanese sellers on Yahoo.
