WTB G1 Tomy train set

[Reflector]

ive been looking for this http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT for a while and finally found one in the US and the seller wont ship internationally

If anyone knows where i might be able to find one im after one in this condition, and ill gladly pay a spotters fee of $50 for anyone that can hook me up.

Given the price, I'm taking it that you REALLY want this, and that money isn't really an object.

You need to sign up for a US based remailing service, then list that as your "main address" in ebay, then buy it now and pay the fifty bucks shipping. You'll then only have to pay courier prices to have it shipped over here.

I use shipito.com, very reliable and you can have it set up in just a few minutes work. They give you a special address (you can choose where in the USA, but usually there's not too much of an advantage) and vioila. One tomy train set for you in less than a fortnight's time.

eg
David Reilly
c/o Eastbiz Corp. ?
2972 Columbia St.
Suite # 17550
Torrance, CA 90503
USA

If you have trouble adding a US address to your AU ebay account, they will also do "personal shopping". Its very much more expensive, but again its still an option for you.

They also do Japan addresses for you too, if you're a Takara fan.

Ow! Ow! Ow! It's understood that behemoth can wipe your wallet clean in good condition, but nothing short of $1000?!

You could always just email the seller asking them to ship internationally? Most of them will if you ask :/

He has his Ebay profile set up so nobody cancontact him, i already tried sussing that out i dont mind paying $1000 for it but, i was considering sending it to AFA too afterwards, anyone have any thoughts on that?

How can you tell its sealed?
I had one of these a while ago but sold it as the box was huge and had no where to put it, If you get it AFA graded the case they put it in will be massive!
But it would be cool to see

The seller said its sealed, there are photos but without seeing it myself ill have to take his word.
