pcfarrar Posted June 5 Report Posted June 5 Why do people use Jauce? Buyee is much better, no faffing around having to deposit money into an account before you can bid etc. 1 Quote
Rawa Posted June 5 Report Posted June 5 Buyee wont mediate with sword purchases? Also you have in jauce their combined shipping. Quote

I've never tried to use them for swords, it's always best to use a proper agent in Japan for that. Quote
Rawa Posted June 5 Report Posted June 5 Thats my point. Try to search "nihonto" on both sites. Uncomparable results. Quote

I'm not too sure what you mean I just searched for "備州長船祐定" on buyee and more swords came up than the same search on Jauce. I'd say you've got a bigger problem with the new Regulation (EU) 2019/880. Technically a $10 rusty edo period tsuba would be CAT B and need an import license. Will buyee/jauce continue to allow shipping of antiques to the EU? Quote

I cannot see the logic. I used Buyee at one point, but went back to a mix of another deputy system and a friend who charges a certain commission. It kinda depended on the item. Currently I am not really buying from Japan unless something special. Reason? USA Tariff Tantrums. After Jesse's little stab yesterday, I'll probably take an extended vacation from the hobby for a few months or longer. Give it until my birthday, then consider a break. Careful with the Japan listings these days. If you dig through 1000 things, you might find 1 special. Otherwise, kinda a junkfest with a fair number of doctored up copies, etc. KMart Blue Light Specials, if you remember those. Quote

Rawa Posted June 5 Report Posted June 5 You have other sites. Treat offers as ads. Simply check on other things provided by same seller. If pictures are made in many diffefent ways its probably reseller and your item is somewhere there. Quote
lonely panet Posted June 5 Author Report Posted June 5 Never tried buyee. But happy give it a go. Why do i use jauce????. The things that go un noticed due to translation errors are great. Get fantastic items if you put in the time searching Quote
