Under negotiation likely means someone already put it in their cart. I've found that well priced nice gear can go fast. The site serves as a hub for Japan music stores. When I used it, I had to sign up with their recommended shipping broker, put money in my account, and they "purchased" the guitar from the store (the first time I used the site, the guitar I wanted, a Tokai LS, had been sold and the $$ in my account was returned in full) . I was a bit nervous with the transaction feeling it seemed like a bit of a shell game, but I went ahead and tried again, this time buying a FGN LP style, and all worked out AOK. Buying from Japan does require a leap of faith. Shipping was in the $150 range.
