Switched to Buyee Trig?

I set a FromJapan bid the other day and it was cancelled. No restrictions on item. It'd have won too. Guessing seller cancellation. Makes me wonder if sellers do have a good reason to avoid business with FJ.

pity that had wondered about how this affected the sniping option ! Mainly use it "buyee" for browsing as its just easier to use :lol: :lol: but yeah finding FJ very restrictive and restricted, coming across the odd few more items that FJ seem to be blocked from bidding on.
Pity as they are the only ones who would mark down :( , will still use them where i can for now. have one or 2 others was tempted to try but buyee are grand

Cool! Looks to be a home made jobbie

I made it by modifying a radio-controlled transmitter.
The cable length is approximately 2m from the end of the connector to the base of the controller.
Operation has been confirmed.

knew it looked very clean but didn't read the blurb ! :oops:

i had a bid cancelled on me last year using from japan, pretty sure it told me that seller cancellation for using a proxy was the reason and no others. i won the auction though and the price was stupid cheap

haven't had any issues with FJ but their packing has taken a drop in quality, so i would be hesitant to use them for minty boxed stuff if i was fussed about cardboard

I see there's a Pony II 18 on Yahoo Japan at the moment. Currently sitting at 50,000 yen.

If you've $11,500 to spend you could probably fly over first class and pick it up directly.

Would be hilarious if this ended at $11K.
