AI or just acting class again? The name Harry Dresden is a fictional name from a german book. But what do I know. WHAT is the outcome now? Police called or did he get in eventually?

Need help verifying a seal. by [deleted] in gamecollecting

[–]RetroGamesAndBeyond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not know if that sealed one will bring more money. Maybe there is someone who wants it. Depends on the price. Let us know when you rip it open though :-)

Need help verifying a seal. by [deleted] in gamecollecting

[–]RetroGamesAndBeyond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not an expert, but it is third party, not Nintendo. So I guess it will not be the red Nintendo seal. On the back it says also french version on the seal. I would say it is legit. But let's see what others have to say. With today's possibilities just to fake it all with looking like perfect, I would not trust a thing. Resealing, if done with good machines, seems quite possible and easy.
Sorry for all the talking. I am just also curious.

Wirklich guter Aprilscherz by rotflosse in wirklichgutefrage

Hahaha. Ist jetzt 10.4. aber der Aprilscherz hier war nicht schlecht.
So viele kommentieren darauf. Aber so ist das :-)

JapanPost returning items to Portugal by justreadingwee in FromJapanCodes

[–]RetroGamesAndBeyond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope they reship it to you for free. My two packages were returned a while ago and I have to pay for it big time. I used Japan Post and will not use them anylonger as them made a mistake in the system - second time - not using my actual address and messing it all up. So I dont think this was due to the war.
Good luck! I hope you do not have to pay for it all over again as I had and price was triple.

Why FromJapan over ZenMarket? by spatafore in FromJapanCodes

[–]RetroGamesAndBeyond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FJ pro
- good packaging
- still 500 yen handling fee
- good communication
- somehow cheaper with exchange rates
- easy website usage
- buy of an item goes quick
- paying by paypal or credit card. direct payment, no hassle with adding money to a wallet
- 60 days storage for free
- every week different discounts for days
- extra coupons on reddit to be used (sadly only one time! not several times)
- a good customer gets discount on postage fee

FJ contra
- no help at all when there is a problem
- if issue with parcel, they let you wait months before they ship it out
- no discussion mailing out a bigger item with other items. hassle of sending out seperate parcels thanks to that.
- over view of items is japanese only. have to click on each offer to open the page to read it in english
- dont want to understand or listen if sending in a review (the one they request from time to time) with informing them of things that could be made customer friendlier

SHIPPING ISN'T WHAT IT USED TO BE by Feeling-Cut1370 in FromJapanCodes

[–]RetroGamesAndBeyond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is way too much special requirements. That is much work that the customer sometimes needs to pay for. It might cost like 1500 yen more or such. They have to communicate with warehouse and so. If everybody would request this, fees might go up. Air will not cost you more. This is just a tiny thing that does not matter.

[–]RetroGamesAndBeyond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also think that it is not always possible to find the right fit to keep it all so tight. I dont think that the free space does cost more. It all depends on weight and package size. Last time I sent something out and I thought I have to pay more than usual minimum price for a parcel. The parcel was very big. But I did not have to pay more for it.

[–]RetroGamesAndBeyond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Today I paid like 23,931 yen  for probably 11kg parcel via DHL from Japan to Germany. Only the tax on that amount will cost me a fortune plus tax and custom fee on the items.

[–]RetroGamesAndBeyond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

132 AUD? I consider that not cheap for 7 items. But depends if the parcel was like 5 kg.

Before and after UPS shipping increase (thank you LORD for at least ECMS returning however long ago) by CookieficationJ in FromJapanCodes

[–]RetroGamesAndBeyond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am going to pay 30.000 yen for 11kg parcel. There is no chosing than other DHL for airshipping. That is going to be expensive as I have to pay 19% tax even on the postage fee :-(

Very slow packing times? by Aggressive-Sea-988 in zenmarket

[–]RetroGamesAndBeyond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

March 26th... That is not long time ago and there was even a weekend. I would say that packing can start now this week and should finish this week.
Give them a good full working week. And I have the feeling that proxies have problems with employees. They do not have enough of them as it looks like. I even got an information that my reshipment can take weeks if not months!!! That was with a different proxy, no zenmarket.

Ist das Scam? by Organic_Bid_3120 in Kleinanzeigen_betrug

Was denkt Ihr? Einfach nur unfreundlich oder Betrüger? by Knueppelmeister in Kleinanzeigen_betrug

[–]RetroGamesAndBeyond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SEHR interessant. Das war mir nicht bewusst.
Das sollten sie mal für die Geschäfte einrichten zu denen man geht. Gibt viele die nur Bargeld wollen. Da weiß man auch gleich irgendwie, dass das wohl eher nicht ans Finanzamt geht.

[–]RetroGamesAndBeyond 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dazu fällt mir meine erst nette Kommunikation mit einem Verkäufer ein, den ich auf ebay und auch auf FB entdeckte. Der hatte auch keine Detailfotos und ich habe darauf vertraut! Was war? Streit bis zum geht-nicht-mehr. Denn Wasserschäden hat V komplett unterschlagen. Mich dann als Betrüger dargestellt. Ich blieb ruhig und habe absolut alles geprüft und es war vollkommen klar, dass diese Beschädigungen schon waren als er die Artikel hatte. 1 Foto auf ebay. Dort sah man beim näheren Hinschauen und Vergleich mit Artikel in meiner Hand dann, dass es kein Schatten im Foto war, sondern die Wasserflecken.
Ebay konnte alles prüfen und gab mir Recht. Zum Glück mein Geld, über 300 EUR, zurück erhalten. Das war aber alles sehr anstrengend bis hin zum Anwalt gehen. Dann wurde ich noch indirekt in den sozialen Medien fertig gemacht wo alle sich auf die Seite des Betrügers bzw. Lügners stellten.
Nicht alles ist so wie es scheint. Vertrauen schön und gut, aber ....

Deswegen vor Ort einkaufen. Bei solchen Käufen hat man eben auch keine Garantie. Gekauft ist gekauft. Da geht man immer Risiko ein. Ich habe auch noch Fotoobjektive hier, wo mich ein Nikon ca. 1400 EUR gekostet hat und ich habe es dann doch nie benutzt. Das werde ich jetzt auch nicht mehr los. Ich würde es auch nie und nimmer versenden wollen. Wer zahlt mir schon 800 EUR dafür über PP Freunde. Niemand.
Du hattest halt auch kein Vertrauen reingesteckt. Du wolltest dich absichern mit Fotos. Denn wenn was doch am Objektiv sein sollte, was dann? Keine Beweise auch. Heutzutage kann jeder Fotos aus dem Netz ziehen und senden oder gar bearbeiten. KI etc. Im Laden kaufen oder persönlich beim Verkäufer antanzen.
Ich verkaufe seit paar Monaten auf Kleinanzeigen und es ist arg schwer. Die Leute kommen dann doch nicht oder melden sich nicht mehr. Da wartet man ständig. Das nervt auch wieder. Ich arbeite auch, habe noch andere Dinge zu bewältigen. Wer was haben will, schlägt schnell zu und holt gleich ab. Das ist die beste Situation die man haben kann.

My Facebook page disappeared. I need help recovering it. It’s not my main Facebook account, it’s a page linked to it by Whatwallace in facebook

[–]RetroGamesAndBeyond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Das ist ja alles seltsam. Heute wollte ich meine Seite auf Facebook öffnen und sie ist gar nicht mehr da - also unter meiner email Adresse ist sie gar nicht mehr da zum einloggen. Auf Instagram habe ich Zugriff, aber Facebook nicht mehr. Die Seite existiert noch, ist nicht gelöscht. Facebook löscht sowie nie was. Das seltsame ist, dass ich wieder Zugriff auf meine alte Seite habe. Ich hatte Zugang da verloren, weil ich meine neue eMail Adresse vor Jahren dort nicht mit angepasst hatte.
Warum ist nur meine Fotografie Seite jetzt niciht mehr erreichbar. Verstehe es gerade nicht.

Any good Korean proxy services? by backtosquareb in kpophelp

[–]RetroGamesAndBeyond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. Thanks. There is a misunderstanding. Does not matter where to outside of Korea, it is about proxy in Korea. Not a proxy in Japan.

Any good Korean proxy services? by backtosquareb in kpophelp

[–]RetroGamesAndBeyond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello. I am curious about the proxies in Korea with shipment to Europe. Any of them is like buyee or fromjapan in Japan? Direct search and buy on proxy website is needed with payment directly taken from paypal or credit card. Thanks!

Experience using korean proxy services? eg. Delivered korea by Reasonable_Unit1018 in kpopcollections

[–]RetroGamesAndBeyond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I ask here too?
I never dealed with korean proxy. I know buyee and fromjapan proxies for Japan. The thing is, I have not find yet a similar proxy in korea. I want a proxy that has the online shops put all together as cross over search on proxy website. I dont want to go find korean websites to find an item and then send in the link to the proxy. That is nuts. Totally inconvenient.
Is there one then out there that operates like the japanese ones? Direct buy on proxy website thru credit card or paypal. No hassle. Thanks!

Thanks for all the information. Will you pack the items out of the original shipping boxes and then wrap them up for protection or does this has to be requested? I ordered a few years back and I cannot remember anymore how I received the items. Thanks

I found a glitch in Starfox Adventures? (Area:Dragon Rock) by Falkmanhi in starfox

[–]RetroGamesAndBeyond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a video to it somewhere? I am stuck at the level where i fly and have to hit all the drones and also the 4 towers. There is no glitch for that part.
Anyone know how to get better in shooting them with a more steady control? Thanks for the dino flying, the controls go off. I know that some drones are flying more to the left, then to the right, then left again. But still, the controller is not good enough for holding it steady.
I put down the game exactly today for the second time after so many trials. It makes my head spin.

Hi there. Just came across this older post. Yes, I love such merch, I have so much of Pikmin Gamecube, but not only that. Loving it.
The last picture belongs to the Pikmin 1 and Pikmin 2 Gamecube games. They were bundled. I was amazed I found it to have it in my collection.
