I'll stop buying some soon, just got like 1 or 2 more sets to buy and then I'll have to stop and save again

Gona go down to my Importer's and give him $2k tomorrow

That should mostly cover most of my spending and then the postage and etc I'll pay him later when tallies up the lot.

I'd say I'm up for $3k total at least

Got a question for the US guys

Would you use a service that allows you to browse Yahoo Auctions in english and bid on wheels yourself?
And pretty much not just wheels, but car parts and pretty much anything that is on YJ

Can't wait to go home and put the Prelude back together.

I just think that US has a much bigger market potential as I am not aware of any companies in the US offering such a service.

I'm guessing West coast would probably be the preferred business location as it would provide easy shipping path to Japan

do it roman

Pretty much.

The hard part is, everyone is selling wheels at ridiculous prices now so everything's inflated. Two years ago, when wheels were still affordable, it would be easy to make a profit on the east coast, too.

I'm just going to pitch this idea when I see my Importer tomorrow.

I really think he has grown his business enough to expand.
He is already expanded to importing some of the Scion FRS parts from the US, as apparently there is more FRS parts in America than the FT86 parts in Japan.
But I think the next step is to offer the Jap importing service to the US customers.
I'm sick of seeing VR Wheels sell overpriced wheels.

Ofc as part of this pitch I'd try to pitch myself to be sent over to work in the US office ha ha

To answer your original question: Yes, provided the charge is reasonable.

A good pitch would be to offer the service for free unless a purchase is made- not sure how that would work, though.

Not sure if you'd **** it here, or love it here.

The way the service works here is it is free unless you buy something.

You setup an account into which you can put money to use to bid on stuff.

You only need to have 50% of the amount you are bidding in you account, so there is no need to have all the money there straight up.

Usually the fees for the purchase are $20 or 10%(iirc) of the price of the item, which ever is greater.

Then after they send you an invoice for the rest of the payment amount which can be settled when they send off the item or once it arrives.

I think I want to try out US some time anyway, so yeah would be interesting to experience something different
