HOW TO BID ON JAPANESE AUCTIONS AND GET GREAT DEALS ON VIDEO GAMES! | Sendico Tutorial | Retro Renew

[@Cheesehead302]

I just came here, a year later after I left my first comment, just to say thank you. I'm about to have some extra money, and I'm looking to get a few things I've wanted for years at this point. Very rarely have I ever bought games online through ebay or the like, my entire collection basically is just from thrift store finds and what not. However, in the past like 6 years or so finding ANYTHING at thrift stores slowly became next to impossible. It's just so cool to me that because of this it seems like I'll actually have a shot at investing in some of this stuff at a price that wouldn't be flat out unreasonable. Good luck to everybody else on getting your dream consoles/games, and once again thank you, if I hadn't been binging your videos this method probably wouldn't have even been something on my radar. Edit: I now have a Japanese virtual boy in beautiful condition, along with Mario Clash, teleroboxer, vertical force and galactic pinball. Everything, shipping included was 192 dollars. I couldn't be happier with this first experience.

ive been waiting for a decent guide to sendico, i know various youtubers get sponsored and then advertise sendico but none have done a guide like this

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Glad you found it useful! I’ve also heard a lot about it and thought it’d be good for the community to demystify the service. I was overall very happy with the service and it seemed to work pretty smoothly even for a novice like me. Cheers!

[@stuartcole4845]

“Junk” can also just mean untested. Your excitement when your realised it worked fine was cool to see! I remember at the end of the life of the Gameboy micro, there was a department store near me clearing them out for about $50Au (~$35US) and they had a massive pile of them. If only I knew how the price would go through the roof.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Haha, I was so surprised it work! My expectations were very low. That’s good to know. I guess it’s just a generic term they use for some used items. Oh man if only we could turn back the clocks. That’s some crazy good prices for a Micro. I remember I had bought one for a pretty good price towards their end of life. I sold it on eBay a long time ago and totally regret it. Thanks for sharing your experiences Stuart. Cheers buddy!

[@theclaudfather6436]

Your expression of joy upon seeing the PC engine GT actually turn on an function was pure wholesomeness. Thanks for being such a positive and well spoken figure on KZbin. We need more influencers to be like you.

Thank you Der Schlagzeuger! I just couldn't believe it was working, I had pretty much convinced myself and accepted that I was going to receive non-working PC Engine GT. It was such a pleasant surprise! Thank you for all the kind words! I really appreciate it buddy! Cheers!

I ordered from Sendico after watching Elliot do it. Good god. I couldn't believe how much extra I had to pay for shipping to and from sendico. I felt like I got a decent deal and I have another giant package on the way with a gold 64, white saturn and DMG cib. Your stuff is awesome man and I wish it got more exposure. Keep it up dude. I'll definitely be watching.

Thank McPaul! That means a lot! Sounds like you got some awesome items from Japan! I’m a huge fan of the Sega Saturn. Thank you for sharing! Cheers!

[@LandmanEDC]

Tito, seeing your excitement was worth watching this video. Thanks for going through this tutorial but also opening up those awesome items!

[@ianfairbanks1318]

Here's the thing about these Japanese import websites, you pay shipping twice and it is CRAZY expensive. Macho Nacho went through with this but had the shipping covered. Me, however, using Buyee, scored a 60 can BOSS coffee flat for 32usd (loved this stuff when I was in japan). Free shipping to the warehouse. Here's the con- What they don't tell you is you won't know the shipping until AFTER you've bought the product. Shipping to the States was $81.00usd. So much for that nice deal. I went though with it just because I wanted to taste BOSS coffee again, But pretty much anything you're buying is going to be a waste of money if you can get it from somewhere else in the world. Until the import delivery fees come down, this is still not a good deal.

[@MrAgentEcho]

That’s where buying multiple things comes in handy. They store all your stuff at their warehouse so you can have a bunch of stuff shipped together instead of individually.

[@RonyIsaPony]

I see people making videos or leaving poor reviews on Sendico because they didn't realize that shipping is not cheap or they bought a couple items, then when they see videos like this they say "Ohh they have special KZbinr Privileges ". I don't condone none of that stuff and I think its wrong that they assume there's a conflict of interest. This is a great video and has informed me a lot on buying through proxy services. I definitely will give Sendico a try and that's thanks to you! Edit: Also you refer to North American stuff as "American" I'M CANADIAN!!!!!!!!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thank you Rony! Glad you found the video informative! I actually just ordered some more stuff from them and got some more amazing deals! Haha sorry buddy, i should have been more specific when referring to North America in general, I'll do better next time. Cheers buddy and thank you for watching the channel!

@@MachoNachoProductions No worries man I was just messin around!

[@Cheesehead302]

As somebody that never thought about this, browsing the website actually blew my mind. I knew a lot of retro stuff was cheaper there, but Holy hell, they're practically giving away stuff that would be sold for an organ here. The only thing that's holding me back from trying this is the international shipping fees, but man I want to try this at some point if not just to get a PC Engine.

Second time watching this video, I just realized you mentioned an option to adjust the item value. This is HUGE for me since the piece of crap country I live in murders you with rates, you end up paying twice as much as whatever you bought cost you after 50usd. I repair old cameras for fun, and the Japanese old camera market is the biggest anywhere in the world. Glad I decided to rewatch it after a few months lol

I've done a bunch of collecting this year through sendico since buying locally has been a lot harder and more expensive than in years past. Was a great way to get lots of rare nintendo handhelds since I sold of a lot of my collection when I was broke in college, as well as a nice clear red limited edition n64. I've also found it a great place to buy a few collectibles like the pokemon scale world figures, but it's so easy to get carried away on there that I've had to seriously cut back!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Haha, I totally agree Mitch! I’m kinda hooked myself. It’s just fun to look around at the different auctions! Sounds like you found some cool stuff and I’m glad you were able to get some of your collection back! I’ve def been eyeing some of the N64 clear consoles, the look so awesome! Cheers buddy!

[@udawg34]

Do you know how to get Sendico to hold the package for 60 days? Or do they do that automatically.

[@M19u3I]

be careful with the inland shipping :D those sellers can put what they want there and they know it. You can easily pay 5000 yen and up since you know the price only after you bought it. so always best to go with free inland shipping. The turbo graphics is sick tho nice buy

Looking on Ebay, you right. The Gameboy Micro is going for way too much and the most cheapest listing are from Japan. My Gameboy Micro 20th Anniversary Edition is still in good shape. I never used it that much and i have in a case. You probably saved yourself a good amount of money.

[@soproparmvfx6269]

Great Video btw! The Quality is amazing! But i have a few questions 1. In order to make a bid, do i need to have at least the starting price in my funds? Or at least 50 yen? 2. How can i tell the weight of the product for the estimation tool? 3. Is there a way to know the international shipping costs before placing the bid? Thanks!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thank you Paramahansa YK! I’m glad you are enjoying the videos! I’ll try and answer as best I can: 1. I think you need to have at least the amount needed in order to pay for your current bid and shipping as well as the 500 yen fee. 2. I just put in a worst case guess. I usually enter 1kg to be on the safe side if I think my package will be small. It’s sometimes good to run several scenarios to get a ballpark range. 3. If I’m not mistaken, I think the estimation tool also includes international shipping. If not, you can check out services like DHLs website or Japan Post to estimate costs. I hope that was a little helpful. I’m still a beginner myself. Hopefully as I order more from Japan, I can give better tips. Cheers buddy and best of luck!

[@oasdfe1691]

So an update. I used sendico, and I have to say, unless the item is only in japan or half price when compared to your local area then its simply not worth buying. Sendico fees are ridiculous. You have fees for topping up, a free for auction, shipping packaging fee, japan tax fee, shipping fee, additional checking fees, import fees into your country. All these add up and make the final item far too expensive and in fact its still cheaper to buy in your home country.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Agree that one needs to do a break even analysis prior to committing to the service. Thankfully if your willing to put in the effort you can determine the max bid price you are willing to pay and from that you can determine sales tax. From that you should be able to determine the import duties based on the value. The inland shipping information should be presented up front in the listing. Some of the fees you mentioned are optional such as checking fees which you can opt out of. It’s definitely not like buying from amazon, so one should expect to do some homework prior to see if they are getting a good deal. I made a spreadsheet to calculate how much I was willing to bid in auctions and would definitely recommend this as a strategy. There are some great deals on the site but as with anything, your mileage may vary. Sorry that you had a mixed experience. Let me know if you’d like to know more about my strategies. Cheers!

I was curious on what you have chosen for these options and your experience around that. Thank you! :-)

Hello! First, I would love to say thank you! I just found out about Sendico the other day and just won my first auction! I have a few questions if you don’t mind answering. So as of right now I won a auction on Sendico and it shows a page of “my purchases” and on that page are things like “required actions” and other things like “in stock”. My question is pretty much what to do now? The status is saying “negotiation” and it says 0 for japan stock? Am I supposed to wait until they have them in stock or is there a step that I’m not completing? I finished and won the auction so now I’m just wondering what’s next. I’m super excited! Also thank you in advance!First time watching and I’ve subscribed, very helpful and informative!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Great question! Negotiations means that Sendico is in the process of paying the seller. Once they are paid, it will no longer be in negotiation. It may take a couple days. After payment the seller will ship it to Sendico and when they receive it you should get an email and it should be listed as in stock. At that point you can then have it sent to your home address. I hope that helps answer your question. Cheers!

Macho Nacho Productions It helped a ton! Thank you for everything (:

[@MachoNachoProductions]

You bet! Cheers!

[@MarazLP]

First of all, great video! Very informative and helpful, thanks a lot! I have a question: What happens after those 60 days my items were being stored in the sendico warehouse? Do I HAVE to pay the shipment fee and get my items shipped or can I just say something like „Hey, I don‘t want those items anymore, just hold onto them if you want.“ sorry for my bad english!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Hey Zero! That’s a great question. I’m actually not 100% sure. I would imaging they may reach out to you and ask you to begin the shipping progress. I’m sure they will allow you to hold it there longer but they may charge you extra. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful! Best of luck! Cheers!

It seems to me that japanese have far higher quality expectations when it comes to selling second hand products. A console that has some scratches would be decent condition here in the West while in Japan it would be sold has as badly used and in bad condition

[@MachoNachoProductions]

I totally agree! I think there is certainly a difference in standards when it comes to rating the condition of used products. Cheers Brian!

[@stuartcole4845]

Absolutely. I buy used watches sometimes and a watch someone in the US would rate as very good, might be only good or fair condition in Japan. They also seem to keep the original packaging.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

That’s really interesting! Thanks for sharing Stuart!

[@cute_man_with_moustache]

Avoid Buyee at all cost though.

[@ATthemusician]

its because Japanese people value their property more and don't trash it. when it comes to video games and rare vinyl records I try to buy it from Japanese sellers.

[@uhhrafael]

when’s the tito and retrofuture colab happening?

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Haha! That would be so cool! Perhaps sometime in the future! Cheers buddy!

What if I win an auction with two Gameboys, should I pay 500 yen for each Gameboy, or 500 yen for both?

[@apunktzett]

Hi Tito. I wanted to ask you for a long time whether the intro music was composed especially for you or is it an excerpt from a song? if so, you have a source for me to download? Thx for answer :)

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Hey there! Yes, the song was made for my channel by Mathew McChesky. He’s an awesome musical artist! I have a link to his webpage in every video description. I don’t think the song is available for download, sorry about that. Cheers buddy!

[@apunktzett]

Thank you for tha amswer but i dont see any link to Mathew McChesky....

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Oh man, I was just looking and it wasn’t in like my past 5 videos. I’m going to have to update that when I get home. Thanks for the heads up. Here the last video where it’s in the description kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnXQe2R_f6ySkNE it should be near the bottom. I’d copy the link in this comment but I’m on my phone and it won’t let me copy it from the app. Let me know if you got the link. Cheers!

[@AstralVelvetV12]

hey does my wallet amount have to cover the shipping and taxes, so make sure to have extra for a purchase with my wallet??

[@monkeyslade1]

Do you have to pay for VAT when getting your package into your country? I live in the USA

[@MachoNachoProductions]

I personally haven’t had to pay any VAT. It just gets delivered directly to me. I too live in the US. I hope that helps. Cheers!

[@monkeyslade1]

@@MachoNachoProductions Hmmmm, Gotcha. How much was your order total? With shipping and everything? like 500+, 1000+?

[@MachoNachoProductions]

I don’t remember off the top of my head, I think toward the end of the video I break down the total cost in detail. It should be in there. Cheers buddy!

[@expytoll9105]

i can’t find the translate bar so i have no way of translating the yahoo auction website to english. anyone know where else i can do it because the button isn’t there

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Hi Joseph! Are you using Google Chrome? When you go to a foreign website an icon should appear on the right side of the url bar to allow you to toggle between languages. Hope this helps. Cheers!

[@Youtubeiscool865]

I just buy them off of eBay lol I gotta try this though.

Hi I have an urgent question, what does custom declaration mean? As a non native English speaker I find this so confusing

[@Urm0mishere]

Just wanted to ask, did you pay any import fees?

[@MachoNachoProductions]

I don’t think we pay import fees in the US. I didn’t have to pay anything to revive the package.

[@Urm0mishere]

@@MachoNachoProductions thank you for answering!!

[@bigtimebrent]

Do you have to pay import fees or duties?

[@indy5280]

Yes iirc

[@oasdfe1691]

the problem with sendico is that you have to 'top up' the account, if you loose the bid the money is stuck until you withdraw it which costs alot.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Agree! I wish that they didn't charge to withdraw funds. I think that help would attract more users. Thank you for sharing! Cheers buddy!

[@QuestForGood]

How much is the withdrawal fee?

[@johnwest6690]

Just to clarify, It's 500 yen for each auction you WIN? Not each item strictly? That is to say, if I won an auction that was a joblot of gameboys, I don't have to pay 500 yen for EACH gameboy, right?

[@dave8826]

How about Zenmarket? it cost less, but is really good?

[@MachoNachoProductions]

I'll have to check them out! Thanks for the tip. Maybe I should do a comparison video. Cheers buddy!

[@dave8826]

@@MachoNachoProductions you bet! I bought from zenmarket not too long ago, I choose the well package box, and UPS, it was expensive, but it took 4 days of delivery

[@dave8826]

@@MachoNachoProductions Indeed! but you have to wait for every item they buy in Japan to arrive to their warehouse, and sometimes take weeks to gather all of your staff in one locker and THEN send the package to you

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thank for the info Dave!

ayy I got some thangs sitting at sendico atm

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Nice! That's what I really like about them, they let you store products in their warehouse while you shop around! Hope you enjoy the video! Cheers!
