Uh, A dollar for a dollfie?
Sun 2010/12/19 12:12 JST
So I was browsing for a daughter to save up for on Yahoo Japan and came across a dollfie that was classifed to be 100 yen. What? Google translate to the rescue, I realized that this MDD had staining, But.. A dollar? Whats going on? Typo?

Um. Yeah. Someone tell me whats going on.. xD Sadly if its true, I cannot get. No international shipping. Bleh. T^T
Get a dollar out of your couch cusions!
(Sorry about images, Copy and paste on paint. No need for a spiffy edit. xD)
Holy hell! A Louise for 100 yen starting price?? That's nuts! I'd kill somebody for one of those regardless of staining. Oxy10 will take care of that quickly enuff. Dammit all, I have no way of doing anything about this either.... I would LOVE to buy that Louise! ORZ
There's 7 days left so the price could still go up after a while. Also, if you really are interested in it, is there anything stopping you from using a proxy service?
I have to admit, this is a pretty amazing price to start with especially with an actual Dollfie Dream even if it's a MDD. There is still 7 days left on the bid so there is plenty of time for things to change. I would keep an eye on it and see what happens in 7 days.
As for issues with international shipping, you can always use a deputy service like Rinkya or Shopping Mall Japan to buy it for you. You'll have to pay for the cost of the commission and the price of shipping, but it's a sure way to get it.
Well wow! :O
there's still days before the sale ends,
and the price may go up,
but a dollar? That's wow!
I'm getting that dollfie. I can still fix it up easily. and I got some "Family" in Japan. So they'll ship it to me as a Christmas Gift.
I'm glad I found it for you I guess? XD 2 bidders though. :x
Yep, when I get it, I'm gonna just fix her right up and give her a proper style. Good to see you're prepared! -points 9500 yen at next person- I'm going to make her mine! Ayichi Murosu! Heading off! -bids 5000 yen-
Working for 50 hours straight does pay off and I get a cool new "daughter" for my collection.
She's limited edition ¥100 shop version?XD
Wow. Bet she'll jump in price in the next few days. Like balldylox said, a bit of Oxy10 would clean up a lot. (Hmmm, long black hair, amber eyes and a goth-loli outfit would make a "passable" Tohya Miho from MegaTokyo)
I think Sakura would make a better Tohya Miho, especially considering she has PURPLE hair in most color art Fred's done of Miho. She also has the right kind of face.
I stand corrected, my bad.....
I'm confused, what's the big surprise reaction? XD
It's not like it's a buy it now price, it's just the starting bid.
Sorry for the typo, I meant to say, "what's with the".
Anyhow, I might keep an eye on this auction, though I'm sure it'll still get to around 60,000 yen or so. orz
The surprise is the starting price. I have to say that this is the first time I have seen a Limited Edition DD go for only 100 yen. Usually sellers would start near the retail price only going maybe 500-1,000 yen lower. There are rare occasions where you can get Dollfies for less than their retail price but those are rare.
I understand, but I also imagine that the seller is confident that the final price will be near the original retail price despite whatever stains the doll may have (since everything is still included right down to the box and manual). There aren't many Louises floating around, so I'm sure there's already a hoard of people watching this auction. XD
meh almost anything on ebay starts with a euro/dollar/whatever.
7 days left so no biggy.
Find friend who resides in Japan and ask him/her bid for you and then ask him/her ship to you for some amount of pay.
But he have that agent doing that right?
Wonder how much they charge, only if and if only I know someone in Japan....
It's just the starting price, currently (at time of this comment) it's already at 10k Yen.
Wait for the last 15 minutes comrades. I have spotted alot of snipers around the vicinity.
Auction snipers are the suck. Shin Megami Tensei's Demon Bazaars had the right idea when they gave you the chance to post one final max bid (i.e. what you really value the services of a demon at based on your ability to pay and your need) on auctions before closing off contested auctions. This sniping crud is not one of the better parts of auctions over eBay or YJA - they should allow bidders on a auction to post one last maximum bid and let genuine best bids win rather than Fastest Fingers First.
That's an insult, we call them Auction Cannooners.
Time to increase the money. Now increase it to 35,000 yen!
I'm more of the Auction Butcher, I just find what I like and then stick 4 small bids and then two big bids and one last final big bid.
nothing unusual~
people starts their ipod/iphone etc on ebay all the time for $0.01
haha... saw it just, and Louise hit 35,500yen
Increase the amount to 50,000!! Ikei!
Yep, I got it. ^o^ *poses Louise*
