Buying A Cartridge Direct From Japan

griffithds: I use this service. At the very least, they don't charge you a ridiculous fee for unsuccessful bids. But I chose it over jauce because there are no auction deposits required: if you win an auction, the total amount including fees is paid for straight from paypal.

I started using it only recently, but they are quick to respond to inquiries and were quick to ship my item. My first and only item so far got lost in the mail so I can't attest to the quality of their packaging :(.

2juki's inventory seems to be down some for Audio Technica (or maybe just the AT-33PTG//II. What other ebay sellers are good for Japanese / Honk Kong purchases?

Be careful buying used from Hong Kong. For some reason, the salt air seems particularly corrosive there.

I only buy new.

Price Japan will buy you any audio equipment you want in Japan for a 5% fee. You can send them the direct link or have them find the best price for you. English communication is very good and quick. They take PayPal. I've used this a couple times with perfect results.
