I am looking to buy a frame from this site, has anyone done it before? I have been learning Japanese but I am not proficient enough to fully understand how to secure a bid. If there are any persons fluent in Japanese language that could help, I could offer payment for their time. Thanks.

You are better off using a proxy buying service as to register to bid with YJ! auctions you need to register credit card.

I've used celga.com to bid on smaller items for years. also no nasty surprises with customs as they mark it at whatever price you ask.

probably best to do what adoubletap suggests. Even Japanese friends of mine stuggle to fully follow everything on that bloody site.

Ebay is supposed to arrive in Japan this year, cant bloody wait!

celga will also order stuff direct from any shop you like as long as you pay a deposit in advance so you can go crazy at blue lug and carnival if you want..

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
