Anyone ever used http://www.celga.com/ or similar services to bid on frames on japanese Yahoo? Frames go very cheap on there compared to the blog sellers.

For those who don't know, celga is a bid service that places bids for you on Japanese yahoo or rakuten. They charge a small fee and then they ship what you win to you (they can also write down the amount to get away from the nasty customs).

You also have www.bid-service.jp wich are a bit more expensive than celga.

You can get keiren frames for 200-300 pounds + 50 shipping.

Just a tip for you

A guy just bought this frame for 35000 yen (£165)
