I'm looking to order Ouendan and Electroplankton from him. The main questions, am I likely to get import tax and how long does he generally take to deliver to the UK?

If not, any others sellers that you recommend??

For the sake of the ?2 difference, I'd go for ouendan from yesasia (in fact I did). ?24 there with free shipping, it's re-shipped in the UK so you don't get tax/customs and with the greatest of respect to ebay, it's not from some random ebay Hong Kong seller

why don't you take a look at his feedback profile?

Price is actually nearly ?30 delivered. Be very careful with auctions from HK sellers and don't hit buy it now untill you've had a a good read. A lot of them are very good and trustworthy, but I've noticed many of them are masking low prices with ridiculous shipping prices.

(embarassed)... I always look at shipping prices and have avoided HK sellers in the past, for piracy reasons as well. I missed that one, thanks!

I'll take your advice

I'm guessing yesasia do that for all their titles? Brilliant, thanks.

EDIT: I took a look at the electroplankton on the site and it doesn't say whether it has headphones bundled. Anyone know if it would be specified?

TBH there may well be some good HK sellers on eBay but if I'm after a legit game and the seller's from HK or the game's shipped from there I wouldn't touch it with a 200 ft pole.

You must be very strong to carry a 200ft pole

Yesasia is the only site you should need for importing Jap games they really are the best.

I agree with the comments re: shipping prices on ebay, i get loads of games from U.S. eBay and the fluctuation in prices is crazy - anything from $2.50 up to $12 to ship one game.
