l0liWe all know that AmiAmi's grab boxes became boring, so I looked around on Yahoo Auctions and found an auction for 6kg of random anime merchandise and decided to bid 2000 Yen. And I actually won it.
I shipped it together with some Vocaloid / Doujin music CD's from another auction, so the total weight was 9kg. With shipping (Surface) and customs, the stuff below cost me around 100€, around the price of a good figure. So it's not bad for all that.
Let's see what's inside:
On the left are the CD's, on the right the rest.
CD's:

Well packed!
What a mess...
After sorting it. Doesn't seem much more organized.
Here's it all sorted by item type and material:
Charms:

Rubber Straps:

Metal Straps and pins:

Acrylic Straps:

Mini Figures:

Random other / bigger things:

In my opinion, these are the most interesting things:

The first thing seems to be a Doujin Card Game with characters from the Nanoha and Higurashi(?) Series. Second one is a strap that was included with the limited edition of AstralAir no Shiroki Towa (I actually have this game)...
The rubber strap was bundled with a Doujinshi called My Angel Ayase ga Konna ni Kawaii. I read that long ago. I'm not a big fan of Nozomi but that charm is still very cute!
Smol Lotte was also included, will go on my mini figure shelf!
Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase. If you consider that a lucky box from AmiAmi already costs 50€ shipped, this is much better. It didn't really include figures but I don't have much use for prize figures anyway.
If you want to buy or trade anything, let me know (except the things in the last Spoiler).
Thank you for reading!

BRUH. I PAID ABOUT THE SAME WHEN I SHOPPED ON MANDARAKE FOR LIKE 4 KG TF
Have you heard of ZenMarket?
I found a voice alarm clock of my husbando on Suruga-Ya and ZenMarket only has a 300yen fee. That being said, I don't know much about this. Are some proxy sites scams?
As I said, it's surface mail so it takes about 2 Months. With SAL, the cost would be 15k or so.
I never heard of ZenMarket. So far I didn't make bad experiences with proxy shopping sites but not all offer all shipping methods and some also have restrictions on what you can order.
Only proxy with even better support was Japan Best but they were very expensive and I think they no longer exist.
Shipping was 6200Yen for 10kg IIRC...
6200 FOR 10KG?!

Heh, 500 isn't bad at all. Always thought it was pricier.
Sorry if this getting too off topic from the blog, but when using a proxy is it like 1."oh I found cool stuff on a Japanese site that only ships domestically" 2."hey proxy service, can you help me out here?" 3."yeah sure, pay us and we'll buy it and have it shipped to us, then ship it to you" 4. Success (??)
Yup, that's basically how it works. I like JS because of the great support and low fees. They even go to a real store and buy stuff for you (if you pay them enough) ^^

Anyway, a pretty cool loot for what you got. I would consider it a nice deal. The items may not be too special, but all together it's pretty cool!
How much was shipping, if I may ask?

I was always confused as to how yahoo auctions work? I heard you need a proxy but how do you get one(and aren't they expensive)?I use the proxy service of J-Subculture. The service fee is 500 Yen, I don't think that's expensive for what they do. And they offer all shipping methods, that's important for me because heavy but cheap things like these only make sense to ship by surface mail.

kinomoto (1 year ago) #28850455I'm interested in a few of these! Can I pm you?
Please send me a message, and it would be good if you include pictures / links of what you want because I know maybe 30% of the characters...
Thank you.
