Big Brake Kit For Sale

Just wanted to give everone the heads up, I cant afford them or i would buy the kit.

http://page10.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/m26900274

It is a Japan Yahoo Auction but you can go with a middle man to buy them and have them shipped to you.

I bought a power Fc from this guy and used jgllama@mydestiny.net as my middleman

It is pretty cheap, he takes 1000yen per auction won and 10% of the winning bid.

so if you won 10000yen auction then it would be

10000 Auction
1000 Flat Fee
1000 10% of Final
XXXX Shipping to his door (Japan)
XXXX Shipping to Your Door (USA)


You can do this for all Yahoo auctions and there is alot of good FD stuff on there, but it is a pain to fine sometimes.

Have fun!!!

P.S. I hope you all dont get mad for posting this in here, is so please move it.

Or I can get 'em for ya...and I'm waaaay cheaper 10% of winning bid alone can be pretty freakin expensive (given that most ppl buy rare/expensive parts from Japan). As is shipping parts individually, esp/ when they're as heavy as that big brake kit. OUCH.

Also, FYI, there's a LOT more than just looking and buying that goes into dealing w/ Yahoo Japan Auctions, which was just recently named the #1 scammer site in Japan

I'd be more than glad to help

And yea, the Jap Auctions are hit or miss. Sometimes things are ridiculously cheap...other times it's like ALL OF JAPAN wants a single part. And it sure doesn't help that lots of the auctions have that SUPER GAY auto extension thing for ANY bids placed in the last 5 min... Ever been up at the crack of dawn, trying to buy something, and have it take an hour and a half longer than the auction was originally scheduled to end? Yea, it's not exactly all fun =-/

It went for about $950 US. The guy claims he bought the entire kit + pads for $5100 US! Either way, you'd pay several hundred more to get something that heavy over to the States... b/c I would *never* ship something expensive or valuable via surface mail (no insurance, so if it's lost - and it happens - you're high and dry).
