Basically, I really want this auction. I signed up for Rinkya, obviously from the link, but I don't think I can find out whether the additions to the blade can be made through them. They seem to only deal in a straight auction.

In this auction I need to specify that I want the "gutter" addition for 10000 yen (I'd like the metal addition, but I don't want to spend the extra $50). Is someone in JPN willing to buy this off Yahoo JPN and ship it to me? I will pay you (45000 yen) upon completion of the auction and I can throw in some extra to 1) cover shipping to you 2) cover shipping to me 3) pay you for the assist.

If not, I may just use Rinkya and not get the additions.

Anyone? Please?

Here's the thread I created asking for translation.

Here's a link to my eBay feedback.

I've also done several deals with people on the forums, see my sig for details.

You can try contacting this guy:


Masato


And give him your specific request for what you want.


I've mainly asked for his aid in purchasing from Japanese shop websites and such,
but he's very reliable to deal with and should be able to help you out.

Just keep in mind the difference in time zones when trying to reach him.

Thanks for the help guys.

I emailed celga (I was working on figuring out how it worked when Cnidarian posted, sorry). We'll see what happens.

THANKS A MILLION!!

Cool!
That would look nice punctured through a few of my co-workers.

It would look cool punctured through a LOT of people...

And if I do get the sword, qube, you're welcome to fly/drive out to see it. :)

Bring it to the next Otakon so if T.M. Revolution makes a pass at my wife again I can strike fear into his heart....
Me being 6'0" 210 and him being the size of my grandmother wasnt enough to turn him off to the idea I guess.. :spock:

Dude, that's too funny.

The only problem is that we can't bring real weapons to Otakon... though outside Otakon is fair game evidently...

Must thank everyone for the links. Thank you very much. These sites seem very helpful. Will use one now. Thanks again. I never thought that they even existed.

www.animechaos.com is the service I've been using.

Just contact Nick before the auction ends - they've taken care of special requests I've had.
I already contacted celga. The funny thing is, all the services, including Rinkya, seem to want the same 10% fee. So if I won something at 10,000 yen, they charge 1,000 yen for their fee. At least I now have more options than Rinkya,

Celga has contacted their Japanese base and are in the process of seeing if they can honor my special request. If they cannot, I'll try one of the others. The problem is the damn auction ends on Monday, so I've only got a little time to get my shit together before it ends...

And I would like to thank EVERYONE for their help on this one!

For my final bump and post in this thread, just wanna thank you all again for your assistance. Neo Geo 2's recommendation for Celga won out, as they were the first I contacted and the first to agree to have the mod done to the sword, and as of 60 minutes or so ago, they had won the auction for me. Now I just have to wait it out for them to get the sword, contact me, me finish paying their fees and then it being shipped. Probably another month or so (assuming the mod is laready completed, possibly longer if the mod needs to be done) before I see my expensive and crazy purchase.

Only problem I have is that their exhange rate isn't right. They are charging 101 YEN to 1 USD, and now it's actually in the 107/108 YEN to 1 USD range, so it's costing me extra. I'm not gonna complain any more than that because they are doing me a great service, but it would have been nice.
