[SubwayHypes]

I am in a serious predicament!  i found two sets of my dream train, the tokyo metro 03 series MICROACE A-5072  on yahoo auction japan!!

http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f65630010

 

BUT I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO READ OR USE THE SITE!!

 

 

does anyone care to help me out??  i cant read a lick of japanese, and ive been there so many times too which is sad.  i learned japanese in high school and forget everything!

 

 

i just cant believe my dream trains are sitting there, for under $150!!!!  and theres no way to buy them!!

Subway - I don't know Japanese (but I can speak Brooklynese ;D) but this link will help you to translate the page.

If you can't find anyone here then is there any Japanese airlines, travel agents, embassies in your area?

You, my friend, are the perfect candidate for trying out one of the delivery services that will help you buy this most desired train!

 

These people are now your best friend :) http://www.rinkya.com/

ALso, you might find the bookmarklets on this page really helpful (I know I do!) (warning: for whatever reason, it doesn't work with the Japanese Wikipedia)

haa you guys are already on it!!

 

 

 

im going to sign up for rinkya.  but they tack on alot of fees!!  im worried my train will exceed $200 now.

 

 

 

i might have another way around this.  My grandpa lives in Shinjuku, if i could only teach him by phone how to sign up for yahoo.auction.jp maybe he can bid on it for me!?!??!?
