DOKool's R2/Import/Anime Collectable Service

Postby dokool » Tue Jan 23, 2007 8:17 pm

For those of you who aren't aware, I am living in <b>Tokyo, Japan</b>. Here I have access to just about anything that was ever made in relation to anime, as I live a mile north of Mandarake Nakano (essentially an anime mall) and have a commuter pass that gets me to Shibuya and Shinjuku, where I have access to newer merch (Animate), DVDs/CDs (Tower, Tsutaya), etc.

Furthermore, I'm incredibly familiar with Akihabara and its vast array of "used" CD/DVD shops, where I can get R2s for up to $20-30 less than their original price (okay, $30 for two episodes rather than $50-60, but that's a big step), still in pristine condition.

And <i>I want to save you money.</i> While making a little bit of change for myself, of course.

Here's how this works: you email me/PM me with your shopping list. I assess the shopping list and give you an approximate price, you approve/deny, I go shopping and give you the final price, PayPal payments are made, and your order is shipped via your carrier of choice (EMS, Airmail, etc).

I can generally find just about anything - artbooks, CDs (soundtrack, radio drama, etc), capsule figures, character goods for all the new shows (including a metric ton of new Haruhi Suzumiya stuff, L's teacup from Death Note, Naruto & Bleach mini-umbrellas, NERV Pastries, and stuff whose existence serves no purpose as far as I can tell), old/new videogames and consoles, you name it. I guarantee that you will pay far, far less than at any anime con and be just as satisfied.

Anyway, drop me a PM or email, and let's do some business.

I'd say you're being sarcastic, but the last time I was in Akiba I saw a rather large table where they were selling packaged food-type things outside of Gamers... :shock:

I may take you up on this offer for some very, very obscure titles I would love to get my hands on. I'll have to think about it plus gather the funds. But it's good to know you are there for just this sort of thing.

I'd like to know how much would a One Piece DVD cost, and how many episodes are there on them... @#%$ 4kids

Thanks.

You can look up the retail price of One Piece discs at http://www.cdjapan.jp/search.html?sort= ... _one+piece

They seem to be between 3,800 yen and 4,800 yen (between $31 and $40) retail, and I can probably shave a few dollars off per disc when it comes to buying them used.

The generally have 3, maybe 4 episodes per disc.

Do you do human trafficking?

On a saner note, you mentioned paypal, however, would you consider other financial transfers such as a money order?

Money orders are iffy - it's hard for me to cash them in here, so I would prefer to keep things electronic.

I could set up a Google Payments account if that would be more towards your likings...
