Below are links using specific search terms. Keep in mind that, just as on eBay, searches on Y!J Auctions can return items not necessarily having anything to do with what one is actually looking for. Make sure the auction is really selling what you want to buy before placing a bid!

Due to the length of these URLs I won't include the raw URL unless people request them. Special uberthanks to Cassiel for providing these!

(Japanese shopping services listed in the next post!)

[Merry]

There are quite a few Japanese shopping services who offer proxy bidding on Y!J auctions and sometimes even shopping at other Japanese stores. These are some of the more popular, tried and true services.

Keep in mind each one works a little differently and each charges a fee so read the details carefully before making any commitment.

Listed in no particular order...

Celga (http://www.celga.com/)

Rinkya (http://www.rinkya.com/)

Shopping Mall Japan (SMJ) (http://www.shoppingmalljapan.com/)
http://www.shoppingmalljapan.com/

Crescent Shop (http://www.crescent-shop.com/)
http://www.crescent-shop.com/

Notes regarding shopping Y!J Auctions:
- Ensure you understand what's being sold in an auction BEFORE placing your bid! For instance, customized doll heads can often go for large amounts and you might think the whole doll and even outfit are for auction, based on the price, when it's JUST the head.

- Keep in mind you'll be paying a service fee in addition to your winning bid!

- Ensure the item you are bidding on can not be purchased locally or via a website for the same or less. In the heat of the moment don't end up bidding and paying a service fee on something you could have purchased directly from the manufactorer or even on eBay!

Could we also get a link for the Volks Dolpha clothing? Dolls?

[krambear]

Dolpa dolls (http://search4.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/search?p=%a5%c9%a5%eb%a5%d1&auccat=2084052787&f=0x2&alocale=0jp&mode=1)

Dolpa clothes (http://search4.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/search?p=%a5%c9%a5%eb%a5%d1&auccat=2084052788&f=0x2&alocale=0jp&mode=1)

Neither search specifies any particular Dolpa, but the results are not usually so large that you get overwhelmed. Hope this helps!

[ginarolo]

Can you post a link for Unoa dolls and parts.

Thanks!

[Sol-leks]

Can you post a link for Unoa dolls and parts.

Thanks!

Here you go! (http://search4.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/search/auc?p=%A5%E6%A5%CE%A5%A2&auccat=25864) :)

[Shizen]

Much thanks on all the links provided. :)

[Karhys]

The Unoa link posted will get you anything Unoa related in the SD category, from clothes to wigs to eyes to dolls... which is great fun for browsin, but if you want anything specific, try these as well:

Unoa dolls and optional parts (http://search4.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/search?p=%a5%e6%a5%ce%a5%a2&auccat=2084052787&f=0x2&alocale=0jp&mode=1)
Unoa clothes (http://search4.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/search?p=%a5%e6%a5%ce%a5%a2&auccat=2084052788&f=0x2&alocale=0jp&mode=1) (yes, it's usually this empty :p )
Unoa eyes and wigs (http://search4.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/search?p=%a5%e6%a5%ce%a5%a2&auccat=2084052789&f=0x2&alocale=0jp&mode=1) (will mostly get you wigs, most of which are Cotin anyway)

[ginarolo]

Thanks. Got Unoa fever! This is a big help.

Is there a way to translate the Japanese language to English in some of the forums? Thank you

[mk13]

Not sure if it works on forums but this is what I use to translate auctions:
http://tool.nifty.com/globalgate/

you can paste the url like this:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v113/~mk13/nifty.jpg

or just put the block of text you want translated in the box above that.
It makes more sense for me than the other translators out there :)

[Biff]

Rinkya's translator isn't too bad.

Put this in front of the url: http://www.rinkya.com/twview.pl?URL=

and then press "Translate Into English."

[animemadness]

how do you pay for things on yahoo japan??can you do it by paypal,have you got to write your address and stuff in chinese??i can figure out how to translate most of text,but no idea how you pay

[Shizen]

Do read Merry's second post in this thread, animemadness.

[chrissa5girl]

You have to look at all the fees very carefully regardless of which service you use. I bought a doll head from Yj using shopping mall japan and the winning bid was about $225 usd but with fees, shipping, etc, I paid $271!

Yup, I'm agree with you.
But, I think that is what they usually charge customers fees (including service fee and bank transfer fee) and shipping cost.

[ginarolo]

Is there a link or way to search for Sdc dolls/parts?

[kakei]

Thank you very much ^^

[olivia802]

wow,thx so much for the link.

[quiltyblythelover]

Is there a way to search specifically for Lati Yellows? I can't seem to find them int he links provided. Thanks

[Karhys]

Unfortunately you really won't find much Lati stuff on Y!JA.

Here's a link to look for Lati dolls:
Lati Dolls (http://auctions.search.yahoo.co.jp/search?p=lati&auccat=2084052787&tab_ex=commerce&ei=UTF-8&mode=1)

Here's a link to look for Lati clothes:
Lati Clothes (http://auctions.search.yahoo.co.jp/search?p=lati&auccat=2084052788&tab_ex=commerce&ei=euc-jp)

They usually write "Lati Yellow" or "Lati White" in the title in English so you should be able to tell what's what. :) Lati haven't really penetrated the market that much in Japan.. aside from SD the only ABJD I see regularly on Y!JA are Pocket Fairies and, more recently, Soom.

Hope that helps!
