Wow... you pick the one day I happen to run 
errands to light up the forum.  Heeheeee!

Here's the deal.

"Starbreaker" is a Japanese cel dealer.  He runs a 
lot of auctions on Yahoo Japan, in addition to 
selling directly to collectors and resellers both 
overseas and (in a few long-standing cases) here 
in the States.  He's also a mighty cool guy, but 
that's not important here.  *grin*

For quite some time, he's been running silent 
auctions specifically for his repeat customer 
base, practically all of whom are Japanese.  Once 
again, a bare handful of dealers and major buyers 
here in the States have had the opportunity to 
participate -- but only a few, since Starbreaker 
speaks very little English and has to either use a 
translation program or have a friend translate all 
correspondence for him, which is time-consuming 
and often frustrating.

But then he and Keigo had an idea.  Why not 
use Celga to open the silent auctions to American 
COLLECTORS as well?  By going through Keigo's 
established service, the silent auction could be 
publicized here in North America, as well as to 
our European and other overseas customers.  Since 
the items that Celga's bidders won could be 
shipped in bulk to Keigo, there would be no bank 
transfer or inside-Japan shipping fee.

It was a great idea for all parties involved, 
really.  :)  For the price of the usual Celga 
markup, Keigo would provide all the usual Celga 
services -- in short, communication between bidder 
and seller, collection and transfer of money 
(including the convenient option to pay via 
PayPal), packing and package shipping to the 
States, and so on.  And Starbreaker could include 
the general English-speaking world in his 
auctions.

And, best of all, collectors over here would 
finally hear about AND have a chance to 
participate in the bidding.

Pretty cool, I think.

Anyway, that's the whole story.  If anyone has any 
further questions, I invite you to email me 
directly at bustakei@yahoo.com, and I'll do my 
level best to answer 'em.  But this thread has 
taken up enough space here -- let's give Yann a 
break.  *grin*
