Title: Anyone live in Japan? Want to be my middleman?
Post by: BlackandBlue on October 27, 2009, 12:57:55 AM
Hey guys, I know there are a few people on this forum that live in Japan and I found a site that is selling a game I've been looking for for the Wonderswan, but of course, only ship to Japan.  So, I didn't know if someone was willing to work with me on importing it.  If you are down, send me a PM :)

There are middlemen services -- I'm sure folks here know a few.  (or a quick google search should do it)

Yeah I think most people in Japan that do this, have been doing it for awhile.  I'm in Japan, but I don't do this kind of thing.  It just becomes more of a hassle then it's worth.

Yeah, google was my next step, but I thoughti would see if anyone here wanted to make a few bucks first.

So is it Judgement Silversword, or is there something else on WS that is hard to get? Most of the stuff (at least the stuff I'm interested in) turns up on eBay, or Yahoo Japan auctions.

Haha, yep. I think last time I looked on eBay it went for about $200. I found it for about half that, but can't order it, of course.

Half of that it good considering it was like $70 new, or something like that, and on rare instances where I do see it, it goes for for over $200. I've never played it. I'd like to try it.

Ok, I ordered from a website in Japan that ships to the US.  Seems to be almost like an amazon type site.  Hopefully all goes well and thanks for the suggestions.
