I have enjoyed kuboten’s prompt service.
I got Metal Gear Posters at a fraction of the cost
(they charge up the but here in the US on ebay for these posters)

However, I wish there was something like a frequent buyer program cause these $10 fees are making me think twice about buying things. maybe you could implement something like buy 3 items get your next item without the 10$ fee. thanks for the great service so far! -JP

Hi JP,

I’m glad you have enjoyed using our service, and thank you for the feedback!  We have considered the idea of offering a “frequent buyers” membership, whereby members can sign up on a monthly basis and receive a certain amount of auction wins at a much discounted rate.

We realize that the $10 basic fee can be pretty expensive, particularly for small items that are really small or cheap (100-200 yen or so).  We’d love to offer a system in the future that will allow people to buy these things simply and not get bogged down by all the bank transfer fees and the other stuff that we have to deal with each Yahoo Auction purchase, and a frequent-buyer program may just be the ticket!

It would likely be a while before we can implement such a system, as we are still working hard to get our new website up and running.  Once things are running smoothly with kuboTEN 2.0 though we would likely be able to plan for new things like this.

thx Craig. thats good to know as I have been seeing more and more things that I want that I can only get through these auctions. thx and keep up the good work ya’ all

that’s really great.
