All kidding aside, I'm a serious buyer and if anything should come up I would appreciate a shot at it.. Thanks for the comments.. g

Price sounds too good to be true.. Oh and the fact I can't read a word of it... PASS ..
ghamerinfrance Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Should ask the help of an hfc member in japan...he sells the artist koruna...and buyee helps with an english translation.

Price sounds too good to be true.. Oh and the fact I can't read a word of it... PASS .. See the little link at the top of the page that reads "English"? There was another thread on this one that's apparently been deleted, but I'd done some cypherin' and from what I recall it was somewhere in the neighborhood of $2300 to get it to your door in the states.
Guest gearwhore Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 You have to add transportation costs..yeah that was the part I could not find..I found the English tag..but there was no shipping info or costs.for the price if shipping wasnt crazy..like $200-300 i would still worry about shipping it that far.Any one else ever had one come from japan.?good luck?
ghamerinfrance Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 You should ask our fellow yuominae....I would not have any worry about things coming from Japan (TYO LAX is shorter than LAX NYC if my memories are good)And for the site, you have to wait some hours buyee is in maintenance for some hours)
ghamerinfrance Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 At the same time, for the same amount, you get the "Rick Nielsen logo" and extra model (and the gold hardware linked...)
ghamerinfrance Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 And another one available in Japan... http://www.digimart.net/cat01/shop4871/DS02159668/ No english button, same very good price...but again,maybe another trick...search something where the demand is lower for finding cheaper prices (less avid HFC members for the good deal
cynic Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 After you click English, click the Special Packaging Service link. It explains that in addition to the costs shown below (the estimator is also available at that link), you'll be charged a one time fee of 2500 yen, and if the resulting package exceed EMS requirements you'll be charged UPS rates which are spendy. Wasn't the price on this one 180,000yen last time it was posted here?
Hbom Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 If you trust XE The Worlds Favorite Currency Converter, that's not a bad price. 197,750.00 JPY = 1,934.21 USD
Guest gearwhore Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 wow how did you find all that..I stumbled around that site for a bit...where did you find that they will ship it...or does everyone ship?
Guest gearwhore Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 i am being schooled on how to be an international gearwhore now.. ....can I get a cool moniker like 007 special acquisitionist ....but seriously folks,has anyone ever bought anything off there?
ghamerinfrance Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Am trying to explain....Hate to be in an Pawnshop (the world) where all people are looking on the same thing and at the same time.....Bad for Business...For Japan, you could reduce the 10000 Internal to 1500 JPY internally....or simply ask a japanese friend.......except when we can share with nice people some tricks around and in good mood as within the HFC
ghamerinfrance Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Buyee is A site for non japanese to buy on the japan market....Ebay (and others never reached the market for any reason...and yahoo auction keep the market...in japanese only)So many intermediates develops for all goofy (like we are some) non japanese speaking to be able to buy (with a small commission) helping to buy from Yahoo (be your friend...but do not forget the commission)Discovered this for trying to buy some old Tokai/Navigator but I guess I should remain in American Hands (Hamer Heritage or G&L tentatively..)Good luck
