what do people think of this guys deal?

It seems like its cheaper than most other retailers (just under ?100 rather than ?150+ inc shipping) but what does the ntsc-uk spider sense think of his ebay shop? dodgy or legit?

[Kubrick]

Buy with confidence. dave123 is one of the best traders you'll find.

[Magnakai]

Does that mean that his GBA games are real?

is this him who runs jpngames.co.uk ?

[Kubrick]

I believe so. He's also a member here.

Just to further backup Kubrick. I can confirm that dave123eb is spot on.

Been getting all my JPN PSP stuff from lately and not been let down yet. Unlike a lot of Ebay PSP sellers, he actually makes a distinction between whether you will be getting the Asian or JPN version of games.

I didn't know jpn games had another ebay account as well as the "radiantsilvergun" one.
I'd stopped buying as there's hardly been any stock on the jpngames site or the ebay shop ever since he stopped doing Sony platforms.

Does whoever sends them mark down the value on the packages?

[Iron Z]

ooh yeah - am i likely to pay +17.5% on top of that???

it's somewhat cheaper at play-asia, it may also ship cheaper there but that i don't know for sure.

There's a ?26 customs charge on top of that, though. Perhaps ebay would be cheaper if the seller would be willing to mark it as a gift.

[anephric]

He needs to mark it down AND mark it as a gift, since it's over ?38.

[Iron Z]

these things end up f**kin ridiculously expensive.

?120!

Its a joystick. that costs ?40....bloody importing

[wod]

yes but its the weight and size of the parcel that makes it expensive

[dave123]

I just want to add, since your talking about me . That all items I list on Ebay (dave123eb account) are 100% original, and sent from HK by some good people I know. It is possible to mark the value abit lower and as a gift, but I think even so you would be lucky not to get a customs fee when importing a Hori RAP. As the shipping fee is taken into account when they work out the fee, and something this large doesn't exactly slip by customs unoticed.
