I’ve never ordered from noppin before but would like to purchase this card! Or at least bid. Any chance you know how to order through them? Thanks for letting me know about it too!

Confused about Noppin

One thing to add, when you add money to your deposit on Noppin, you can spend three times that amount. So let’s say you deposit 10,000 Japanese Yen, then you can place bids on auctions up to 30,000 Japanese Yen.

You will only pay once you’ve won an auction. Once you’ve paid, that amount goes back to your deposit spending limit again.

For example: Let’s say you indeed deposited 10,000 Japanese Yen, and you can bid up to 30,000 (note that you’ve only authorized for a spending limit, you haven’t actually paid for anything yet). You then bid 15,000 on one item, and 5,000 on another. You now have 10,000 left in your deposit to spend.
A few days later you end up winning the 15,000 one. You pay for it (including some middleman fees) - only now you actually pay and have money subtracted from your PayPal account. You now have 25,000 spending limit again. And let’s say you loose the 5,000 one later on, putting you back at the 30,000 spending limit again.

You’ll only have to raise this deposit spending limit if you want to bid high on an auction (or multiple auctions simultaneously).

As for some more general Noppin.com information, I can refer to this quote of a post I made a couple of months ago:

How to pay on Noppin?

I’ve used Noppin for quite some time now, so I can give some general information of how it works:

When you place a bid on something you can update your account’s max amount to bid, by authenticating with PayPal. So let’s say you put 10,000 Japanese yen in your Noppin account, then you are allowed to bid for a total of 30,000 yen on multiple auctions at once (it’s always 3x). Note that this is only authenticating to PayPal, you aren’t paying anything yet in this step, and you also won’t have to pay anything if you don’t win any auctions.

If you win one or multiple auctions you will receive a payment notification. Now you can simply click on the Pay button on Noppin, and because you’ve already authenticated with PayPal when you’ve put a max amount to bid on your account, you won’t have to log into PayPal again. You will have to pay for the price you’ve won it for, plus shipping from the seller to Noppin, plus some Noppin middleman fees (usually 500 Japanese Yen, but the higher the won-price, the higher the fees are (I once had to pay little over 100 USD on middleman fees on my most expensive won auction): www.noppin.com/portal_pages/our_fees_for_auction_service

Now it will take a couple of days before the packages arrive from the seller to Noppin’s warehouse. Once it’s in the warehouse you will have up to 60 days to create a shipping order. This allows you to combine multiple won auctions into one shipment to you. You can already create a shipping order while the packages are still incoming from the seller to Noppin’s warehouse if you want to.

Once everything of your shipping order has arrived at Noppin’s warehouse you’ll receive another email notification: this time to pay for the shipment. Shipping fees are usually around 2,200 Japanese Yen, but it depends on the weight of the package: www.noppin.com/portal_pages/shipping.

And once that is paid, they will package everything very well (I never had a problem with the packaging, they do an excellent job with that), and then ship it to you and give you a tracking number.

One more thing to note: They always ship it with EMS, so in most countries you’ll have to pay import fees when the package is above a certain price. I live in The Netherlands, so everything above roughly 2,400 Japanese Yen (excluding shipping) means I’ll have to pay 20+ euros on import. My most expensive package so far was 165,000 Japanese Yen, for which I had to pay an additional 325 euro import fee. So keep that in mind when combing orders. Sometimes it’s cheaper to have two separate orders shipping from Noppin to you, than one big package with large amount of import fees.

If you have any questions regarding Noppin feel free to ask. I don’t know everything, but since I’ve used it pretty often so far, I hope I’ve provided you and others reading this with some general information of how Noppin works.

EDIT: One thing to add about my quote above. It is possible to request a different shipping option with Noppin. I personally haven’t used this yet, but I plan to do so the next time I order. When using SAL I should be able to avoid customs and import fees all together. The shipping time to my country may take a bit longer, but since it doesn’t have to stay at Dutch customs the total shipping time might be pretty similar. Except much cheaper because I don’t have to pay any additional import fees.
I haven’t tested it yet, but a friend recommended it to me, and I will try it next time I order from Noppin.com. However, I currently have no ongoing auctions that I’ve placed a bid on; not sure when I will.

This quote should give you all the information I know about ordering through Noppin. And I’ve used SAL shipping once so far. Just as fast, and no import fees (shipping time is slightly longer, but it doesn’t go through import, so the total shipping time is just as long). Will probably use it from now on.

And it’s basically YJ, so if you’ve used any other middleman service before like Buyee, you can use that as well. Here is the direct link to the YJ auction: page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/m231095892

Reverse L3 Machop!

Is this what unlimited looks like? Very new to this thread. I’m assuming the unlimited is with a white background and no 1st edition stamp? I noticed there’s some with a color background.

tonysandlin · February 20, 2019, 3:21am

Yes, that’s an unlimited card! Do you happen to have more of those? Particularly RH Voltorb, Electrode, or Electrode Prime?

It’s a tough set to find, so I like to post cards for sale here so that it’s easier for people who are interested to find them.

saber · February 20, 2019, 3:49am

I bought a full box of Japanese cards. You’ll need to give me a bit to go through all the extra cards in that box. I don’t remember seeing any RH though. What do all the colors mean on them?

tonysandlin · February 20, 2019, 3:57am

That might mean you have cards from different sets, but I’m not entirely sure what you mean by different colors. Also, only a limited number of Japanese expansions included reverse holo cards, which might be why you didn’t see any. If you have any more L1-3 cards that are unlimited edition and you don’t mind parting with them, feel free to post here and I’m sure someone will inquire about them.

saber · February 21, 2019, 12:08am

Here’s what I meant by different colors. I’m guessing these were side decks maybe.

And this is the only extra one I have, the rest are all 1st and I didn’t have any RH in my box.

Alec · February 21, 2019, 1:07am

I have this Gengar if that counts. imgur.com/a/r3dW8Lg

tonysandlin · February 21, 2019, 1:10am

Lost Link was only printed in unlimited, so it doesn’t count, sadly

tonysandlin · February 21, 2019, 1:13am

Oh, that might just be a L1 thing. I’m not entirely sure about it though. Also, it seems that there is no unlimited for L1. Thats a good L2 unlimited card by the way, haven’t seen that one yet!

Quuador · February 21, 2019, 6:19pm

FTFY.

And I agree, that’s a pretty good unlimited edition to have. Great artwork!~

woolsluk · February 21, 2019, 11:23pm

L1 is actually 2 different sets combined one being heart gold (red L1) and the other being soul silver (blue L1).

tonysandlin · February 21, 2019, 11:42pm

That’s kinda what I thought, but I was too lazy to look it up at the time lol

Also, don’t know if I’ve posted this yet, but I’ll do it again:
