Hi guys,

Think what you like - I build model cars/planes/etc. when I have spare time and have found a few rare kits for sale for cheap in Japan.

If you have a Yahoo ID and might be able to help me have them shipped to Sydney, please reply or PM. I can direct deposit some funds for bidding but would prefer to handover some cash in Sydney area.

Thanks guys, a shot in the dark, I'll see how I go

And I know Zac will buy bits from Yahoo but his service fee is nearly $40 per purchase - the bids I'm looking at are only around Y2-3,000 plus post so it's not worth using Slidewize. If you're in Sydney I'll happily provide some liquid refreshment to say thanks for your help. Cheers.

rinkya is your friend for models/cels/figurines.

although, most models and stuff can be mailed, let me know what you want (ie yahoo id, preferably one that hasn't gone through a translator) and I'll give you an estimate to have it mailed to you.

I can see where you are coming from - but whether it's a $1000 car part, or a $10 model - the time invested (bidding, dealing with the seller, the deliveryman and then the hassle of the post office) - is the same. I can't see how it would possibly be cheaper doing it from sydney.

anyway, good luck finding someone (I know there are some people who charge below $40)

Yeah that is around the fee I ask and the reason is that if you run purely off a % you end up buying cup holders, magazines etc and spending ages organising stuff for $10... not really worth it :(

That said though if you are getting a few models off the same person/shop I might be able to do them at the same time and charge less commission.

Anyway no middle man here :P

try http://www.f1kits.com/ they specialise in buying model etc of yahoo. i think they may be cheaper for that kind of stuff.

looking at that guys fees minimum fee is 2000 yen which quickly jumps up once the item is over 10k yen...

you are paying for a middle man there plus you need to leave a deposit. I buy and send the item before asking for cash.

bleh ppl wanna pay more go right ahead.

yeah i have bought a few bits of jeff (f1kits), but just from stock he had, not from yahoo. I just posted up his link as i know he started out just selling models from yahoo.

Streeter, i wasn't trying to step on your toes mate, i was just posting up the link as i know he buys and sells models. personally i agree with what you said earlier. That it's not really economical to buy small cheap stuff from yahoo as it's just as much effort for the buyer to buy a 1000yen model as it is to buy a 70000yen power FC, yet people don't want to pay the same fee for both. I think this is why a lot of agents wont even sell small cheap stuff anymore as no one wants to pay. Which is a shame as for some hard to get stuff it's the only way. Good luck with the work mate. I may just need your service some time :(

Hi Streeter, sorry mate I must have totally missed your post :)

I'll shoot a PM your way next time I see this kit and might grab a few to make it worth our mutual while.

Cheers bud!

If the item's cheap and it requires little effort, I'll do it for $15, as long as you pay for all expenses incurred (ie internal postage, international postage, yahoo fees etc). Send me the Yahoo ID's of the stuff and I'll see if its feasible.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
