And I can of course get you the DVDs, CDs, manga, cobalt magazine monthly, doujin, doujin anthologies, and novels. I can also get the drama CDs, but those will be harder to find and sometimes more expensive. Just to give you fair warning.


Here's how it works:
My fees are going to work as such. For those whose orders go above 10,000y to 20,000y (including shipping), I will ask for 10%. For those that go above 20,000y, I will take 20%. As these items are relatively inexpensive, unless you buy EVERYTHING listed, your orders should be below 10,000. In that case, the fees will be something like this:

500-1000y total (including shipping) = 200y fee
1000-5000y total (including shipping) = 500y fee
5000y-10,000y total (including shipping) = 800y fee

And from there, the aforemention fees are as follows.

You may ask why these fees are what they are. I have a certain amount of risk involved carrying around cash (even in a safe society like Japan). The fee is my insurance, and also my pay. This is my job for right now, until I can get my working license in the fall. I need to be able to survive here and continue my studies.

Note that I will be taking PAYPAL in JPY or USD ONLY, and will be shipping via EMS tracking ONLY. It's more expensive, but Japan tends to lose a lot of packages and this is insured.

Also, if I have to go to more than one store for your items, you will be charged a travel fee based on the length of the trip I have to take. Usually this fee is 300y for two stores, or 500y for three stores. In the Tokyo area there are currently only 3 animate stores: Shibuya, Ikebukuro, and Akihabara. That's where I can get your official goods from. Just so you know.

So. Anyone interested? Go ahead and comment. :)

PS - next drama comes out 9/7! YAY!!!!

PPS - If anyone wants copies of Yurihime magazine (from the creators of Zerosum, but dedicated to yuri only), I can get those too. Marimite's illustrator does a LOT of work in it.

First I have to check if any of the stores have them. If none of the stores in Tokyo have them, I can't get it for you. :(

email me at thetokyoincidents@hotmail.com to continue negotiations.

Thank you for providing this service!

One suggestion: you may want to set what your yen to US dollar exchange rate is, in case people can only pay you in dollars.

Have you seen the rosaries in person yet? Are they made of sterling silver or something else (mmm, licensing fees) that makes them cost over 9000Y?

I'm going to be using the standard 100y =1 USD charge. It's been fluctuating so much recently that I can never keep up. @__@

I have seen one of the rosaries in person, and it does look like sterling silver. They're absolutely gorgeous!

I really like that clock... and that watch.. but I tend to loose or break watches.

So you have the price to get the object + your hazard pay + the shipping fee thats probly going to cost an arm and an ear..?

As long as your order isn't over 2.5kg or something, shipping EMS usually runs around 2000y for that. So it's not SO killer.
