^ be honest girls never wore that, it's just pieces of cloth from chinese textile fabric

SomethingWild · « **Reply #22 on:** March 24, 2011, 12:49:19 PM »

They wore it, but for like 1 minute to take the picture for the card

In addition to the picture, the girls also decorated the shirts. You can see pieces of their drawings in the costume bits in the cards.

A lot of people question if these costume cards are genuine. I'm convinced that that they are real.
1. The clothes are specially selected for a certain photoshoot. I mean, it's not their actual stage/concert outfits or their personal clothes, so it's expendable. In some cases they re-use the photo's for the card collection, a PB, DVD and sometimes even a calendar... it's not like cutting up a couple of dresses is a big expense. In other words, they have no reason to fake it.
2. If it ever got out these things aren't real it would destroy the market. They would be stupid to take such a big risk.

^woah, it sold for 530 euro

My first transaction with From Japan has been completed and I just want to give them my thumbsup.
- Super easy to use
- Fair prices/fees
- Good communication

I opted for SAL shipping, which is the cheapest and slowest method available... They shipped the package on the 5th and it arrived today. Only four days! With SAL!! Truly amazing.

Pics of the goods soon/tomorrow.

^ what about bank transfer fee, it is 168 yen for each item. For example you can buy 100 yen item and it will cost 100+5(from japan fee)+168(bank transfer fee)+80(the most cheaper delivery to deputy)=353 yen

168/353=0.47 (47% of cost)

Yeah, thera are some ways buying shit from one seller, but it's hard/impossible to find all stuff from one seller

Can I ask how FromJapan will declare values of items in custom declaration form? Will they declare the actual value or lower the value?

SomethingWild · « **Reply #29 on:** April 14, 2011, 09:36:32 AM »

^I'm not 100% sure, but IIRC they can mark it as a gift.

All this Miichan pimpage is driving her photo prices through the roof

SomethingWild · « **Reply #38 on:** September 21, 2011, 03:01:19 PM »

Perfect example of why eBay is awesome. Two auctions from different seller, both selling a complete set of Flying Get bonus pictures.

More than a 300 usd difference in the final selling price! LMAO.

That means one buyer HUGELY overpaid or that the other buyer got a GREAT deal

maliciel · « **Reply #39 on:** September 22, 2011, 06:14:39 AM »

This thread is really just a way for you to pad your postcount, isn't it?

If that bottom auction is just the senbatsu, then it isn't actually complete. But it is a great deal.
