anybody managed to buy anything from this site?

some gems on there like this....http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=14267284819

prawn balls

I've known about that site for a few years bison,i posted the link up on here a couple of times but know one seemed to interested,i've never bought nothing but like you said mate,it looks like a goldmine..

seems like a mission doing a deal on there but anythings possible,that 777 was fifty quid,shipping another issue.

was looking on there and yahoo japan today,yahoo japan looks easier.

just been on that site works out £54.00 for 777 £68.00 shipping no paypal credit/debit only can this be right?   if ok and you get it in one piece got to be bargain.

yahoo japan is getting more expensive now than it used to be because people around the world are catching on that there is companies that will ship boxes to you from japan,but you have to pay for shipping from the seller to the company,various fees and handling to the company,and then shipping from them to you,for their fees and shipping can cost over £200,then there is import duty to uk,which can be anything from £50-£100,so its not as cheap as it looks..also,most boxes on yahoo japan usually need attention,its very rare to get a perfect worker..and you cant ask any questions either,when you translate most of the auctions,most sellers list the boxes as "junk"

right i see ,  bought a rare grundig sw receiver a while ago from channel islands and had to pay a few bob duty before p force would deliver it.
