Well, if you know Japanese, you can get your own
Y!J account.
If you still want to bid on items in Y!J but
don't have an account there are a number of
deputy services that will do it for you. You can
browse the cels using their various search
engines. The most common deputies are:
Anime Chaos: www.animechaos.com/deputy
Celga: www.celga.com
Rinkya: www.rinkya.com
Rinkya and Chaos let you bid in real-time (like
you would on eBay). With Celga you must know
your maximum before you big, and they'll attempt
to snipe the auction for you. As a new-comer, I
would suggest Chaos or Rinkya -- they're friendly
and professional. Deputy fees can get kinda
high, so I'd just remind you to only bid on
things that you REALLY want (it can get
frustrating purchasing a $20 cel, only to turn
around and pay $12 deputy fee, $3 bank fee and $8
shipping --- sometimes the fees are more than the
cel! It can get frustrating)
Good luck, and welcome to the highly addictive
world of cel collecting! :) |
