Hows about this for a killer auction lot ;)

sometime when I'm feeling bored I go and look through the items available on a special link I was sent by another well known TC member (Barrypops) that shows all the RC kit items on YAHOO AUCTIONS JAPAN. now unless you actually LIVE in japan you cannot buy stuff from here [] cos as far as I can see none of the sellers ship outside of Japan but most of the kits on this search list are MIB, there are usually 20 odd pages with 50 items on each (all with pictures) and you should see some of the rocking-horse rare stuff that turns up here..... []

anyway, whats the first item that came up on this search today.... THIS []

http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b47422414

all yours for 5.5 millon yen [:0] a real bargain when you see whats availble... 81 MIB kits from the first 71 cars, piles of NIB Body sets, spares bags, decals and a few built cars thrown in for good measure.... take a gander but don't drool all over your keyboard []

There is a service which lets you bid on Japan auctions - can't remember what it is at the mo. It also translates into english too...

I've just done a very rough conversion on that price of 5,500,000 yen price tag?

I was using the Freeserve travel money converter which probably uses a slightly differnt rate to most but still here are the results....

US dollars: 46 thousand UK ponds 25.5 thousand these are very loose calculations just to give you a very rough idea of how much %.5 Millon Yen amounts to in real money terms
