日本のマーケット部分 The Giant Japanese Market Thread

@drago , do you have a link to the Base box auction? I can’t find that one, and am curious of the guy used my photos for that one as well.

Right after I sent the message I realised that all backgrounds for his booster boxes were different indeed (today’s booster box are e1 and e3…).

I can’t find the origin of the Mewtwo SSB picture, but cert number is 43884612 for what it’s worth.

The link for the base box is here!

Will update this post later with pictures used to document further in case this happens again.

Yeah, those Base box photos are mine as well.

Also, he had an 11-feedback buyer bidding on both the Base and Jungle boxes right up until the very end. Both times, that buyer ended up in second place.

Right you are. Same photographs.

That seller has 99.8% positive feedback… just for buying items. They have zero feedback for selling items from what I can see. Pretty bizarre the things people do sometimes.

The photos of the E3 box are reused, sold originally in June 2020.

Original seller - rai_thunder_usako

Bit late on this one, but I actually got a refund. I was very surprised and pleased.

In my communication with buyee I was careful to not mention fake. The crux of my argument was that the box they received was a clearly different shape to what was shown in the listing photos.

25th Japanese Gold box build to order is on Amazon now guessing you need a Japan address.( I couldn’t figure out a way to get it to work through Buyee and my end shows unavailable. So maybe the product isn’t live for orders yet.

Yup, it shows unavailable if you don’t have it set to a JP address. It still shows available if you do that.

This is such a good answer. I felt every word while I was reading!

I don’t know if a Buyee address will work. But I can confirm that orders are live and being accepted.

I’d like to get the holos from the 25th Ani set - would anybody who buys a lot of modern Japanese graded mind sharing their thoughts on how the prices have changed since release, and at what sort of prices you’ve been buying? Just to help me decide if now is a good time to start picking them up, or if it’s best to wait for more to get graded

Unless I am misunderstanding something it looks like the latest Corocoro with the Pika VMAX promo sold 1,000,000 copies. I haven’t picked up the magazine but is the card included in every magazine?

The one card I purchased seperately had multiple print lines running through it unfortunately. I should pick up a few more.

Interesting read overall too haha.
“However, considering that people in their 20s and 30s may feel a little embarrassed to buy a thick roller at a bookstore, it seems that “digital browsing rights + appendix” is an easy way to buy.”
Apparently there was a way to read the magazine digitally and still receive the card, and people actually still engaged with the magazine and didn’t just buy it for the card. Also talks about bringing franchises to the next generation.

How is that possible, when I bought 51 percent of them?

It’s cool they still have such large distribution numbers for hobby/manga magazines.

Does anyone have a Yahoo account that can help out here? I need this Eevee 007/015 lightning deck unlimited. Picture shows unlimited, description states 1st edition. Can anyone reach out to ask the seller if it is unlimited or 1st edition? I have used Buyee before for middle man service, but I do not have a Yahoo account which I need to ask this question. Thanks!
