palimari1 calendar and 2 photobooks
Saito Yasuka: 2009 Calendar
Handaful Life: Handa Kento's Photobook
N/F: Fujiki Naohito's Photobook
Have just arrived.
I'm so happy!!!
1) N/F
Fujiki Naohito's first photobook.
This was released since 2001-5.
I want to see him in his youth and he hasn't changed one bit.
He's still looking as good today as in 2001, if not better.
I've been fascinated with him since he's a Waseda graduate in IT Engineering. And he's 180 cm tall. He can sing. He can act. And he has had one steady girlfriend who later became his wife after dating for around 7 years.
This is one of those rare perfect guys. Not to mention he has a twin brother.
2) Handaful Life
Handa Kento's first solo photobook.
(And might be his last.)
This Kamen Rider 555 is one gorgeous guy!!
I so wish to see him more in dramas and movies.
Even if this is a used book and sells very cheap, it comes in almost like new condition. There is a poster too.
3) Saito Yasuka 2009 Calendar
I know all Yasuka's fans must have owned this and who wouldn't want one.
He is sooo pretty, I almost feel ashamed I am a girl.
This is the first time I buy through a middleman.
Those 2 photobooks are out of stock for quite some time. It's impossible to get them new from the usual places I buy from. I have to get the used ones from people who won't ship outside of Japan and won't communicate in English. And the calendar is on sale only in Japan from a Japanese website.
So I decided to try i-TEM4U.
There's one mistake in the communication on their part that made me almost hopeless.
~~To give you guys some ideas, this is what I paid for this lot.~~
-Photobook N/F -Fujiki Naohito = 1,000 yen.
-Photobook Handaful Life- Handa Kento = 600 yen
-Saito Yasuka 2009 Calendar = 2,100 yen
Items total : 3,700 YEN
Commission : 1,000 YEN
Domestic shipping : 1,180 YEN
International shipping (EMS) : 3,100 YEN
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Total: 9,205 YEN (paypal charge included)
---------------------------------------------------------------
Domestic shipping is the shipping charge from the sellers to i-TEM4U.
So I have to pay double shipping charges.
T_T
The price of the items is only 1/3 of the total amount.
It left a big dent in my fund to buy some more J-magazines.
One more thing, that middleman shipped all the items to me in a paper shopping bag!!
The bag like you would get when you bought some books in a bookstore.
Outrageous, I think. It seems so unprofessional.
They should at least use a box.
It's quite an experience, though.
Next target.
Tokuyama Hidenori's photobook
Multiple Character 82-06
Seems a bit out of reach.
It's been out of stock for so long and the second-hand one sells for almost 10,000 yen.

Date: 2009-02-25 06:02 pm (UTC)I've never tried ordering photobooks or magazines, cause I just recently got into this "actors" fandom and so far I've resorted to other people selling photosets and stuff like that, only. ^^U But probably, if I tried to order stuff like that, I'd have to pay more for the shipping expenses than for the items themselves as well... u_uU
Crazy, crazy shipping expenses world~ :(
Anyway, great items! And Fujiki Naohito rocks. ;D

Date: 2009-03-05 01:55 pm (UTC)That person is kind enough to release it into the hands of someone who'll have a chance to appreciate it.
And some people who want to sell Tokuyama Hidenori's photobook for like ¥10,000 before shipping are not as kind. =_="
