Is it possible to search completed listings on YHJ? I've tried using google to translate the search options page but it didn't reveal any such option.

Anybody know where all the regular sellers on YJA went? Selection has been pretty slim lately and I was hoping to buy some CPS2 games to toss in with some stools I'm gonna have shipped surface

Just to see what prices certain games have been selling for. I presume that's how most of you guys seem to know the correct market value of whatever it is you're on the lookout for without having to resort to price-check threads? Well, that and keeping an eye on forum sales trends.

I'm pretty sure there's no way to search for completed listings on Yahoo Auctions. The only way I've found of finding anything is to search in Google for the name of the game and hope it pops up.

Just a heads up to all the people who cant read Japanese. If you download google chrome, it has google translator build right in. So just visit a foreign page and click translate. So much better then hopping between two tabs copy and pasting.

Google Translate works on entire browsing sessions - why would you need to copy and paste? Just head to http://www.google.com/translate" - enter the web site address and job done!

Really? I use it all the time and except a few crashes (which I got from being on the bleeding edge developer builds) it's never been a problem.

The google translate functionality also comes with the google toolbar, for those firefox enthusiasts.

Yeah Google Chrome is an absolute wreck when it comes to obeying the rules of computer security, but then most of Google's consumer stuff does that. They don't give a **** so long as it's easy.

What security issues does Chrome have, exactly?

I use Chrome as my primary browser and I have had zero security issues or crashes with it. It DOES have some issues rednering certain web sites properly, but beyond that, it is easily a better browser than Firefox or IE.

Just a quick tip on translating game names, commonly wikipedia will have the japanese name in the first line of the article for the videogame's wikipage, if the videogame is from Japan. I'm not sure if it's 100% correct all of the time, but most of the time it does just fine. If the name is present, check the left hand column of the site - it gives links to international wikipedia's that have an article on the game, and often you'll find the Japanese wikipedia article there, which will obviously have the name translated as well.

here you go.

I used google translate and translated Hori.jp. You can hover over any block of translated text and it'll show the untranslated version. Copy paste that back into google translate, and translate it to english. From there you can hover over the english translation and it'll show which part of the Japanese text it is translating, that way you can remove all the stuff you don't want :)

I was wondering if someone could help me out.

I am looking for something pretty rare; A Seimitsu LS-32 compatible Blast City panel 2L12B

I've tried searching and got nothing close.
Any idea if there's different ways to say "control panel", "blast/blast city", "2l12B" in japanese?
Like slang or shortened versions?

Thanks in advance.

Oh and if this panel turns out to be something really rare, any idea if there's New Net city panels that can mount a LS-32?
I prefer not to get an Astro City panel, or worse; settle for a Sanwa Blast City panel.
