In my experience you have to search, do the math, and wait. I use the service to find things that are not widely available, or outrageously expensive at most online retailers. If something is ending in a week then I'll add it to my watchlist and keep tabs on the bidding. Most of the time the bidding goes above and beyond what I want to spend but sometimes you can get lucky. If you monitor closed auctions and have a good sense of the value of what you're looking for then you can make some reasonable purchases. But you have to dig, do the math, and be patient. Not wildly different from eBay.

I hear ya'. I'll keep looking but am hoping we get a vf-21 advance from bandai sometime soon. Would be sweet; I love my vf-19 advance.
-
I was bidding on that one too hahaha I went up to 375 shipped and was actually relieved when I was outbid! Would have ended up as one of the most expensive valks in my collection.

Shipping cost from buyee to you is what you would normally pay for ems, sal etc by weight. However you will have to pay shipping from seller to buyee warehouse as well which is typically 500-1200 yen. There are a few fees that you pay for a successful bid too. They are typically 700-2500 yen depending on the auction amount.

I've used buyee for 5 or 6 items and it's worked well as long as you understand the fees. I've learned it's best to use a cc with no foreign transaction fee and sometimes it's best to leave items at their warehouse for a few weeks just in case you make additional purchases that may be cheaper to ship when combined. Your mileage may vary. x2, get off my sh!t lol jk

Sometimes they take a couple days. I've been trying to pay for my spartan and defender pos but payment keeps failing and their last response was something like "this is the last time we will reset your payment" then it failed again lol oh well not terribly helpful so I guess they don't want my money. Your mileage may vary.

I ordered mine with a glaug, EMS shipping was 6380 yen.

Anecdotally, the prices for yamato v2 valks seem to be decreasing (on buyee) with news of the re-issues from Arcadia.
-
Yeah this is the "regular" "special" version; not the "premium" "special" version lol You can tell the difference because this is only $200 and not $300 ahaha

I love the 1/48 line as well and never picked up any 1/60 VF-1's. If these are going to cost 250-300 I may just get more 1/48's lol I can't make up my mind. Someone convince me to buy one!
