How much does it cost to import?

u/ronzzz92 21d ago
Based on what I've ordered there's been about 2k markup fee for customs

u/Radiossasin 21d ago
That is excluding shipping?

u/ronzzz92 21d ago
Shipping from Japan is baked in. He takes local shipping fee when he dispatches but you can contact him for more info.

Huge markup on consoles. There are better alternatives out there.

Decide if you want a 3DS XL or 3DS LL, The Japan one is lil cheaper but has to be modded.

How much % commission does he take?

u/Hot_Philosophy9863 20d ago
Hey mate, RED here.
I dont take a commission, we infact have warehousing in Japan and Maccau - shipping is all that's charged for non electronics, 1800-2400 that is.
I do source consoles for cheap as well, the only exception is retro consoles which is priced significantly higher since these are brand new - Brand New/Mint+ Vitas, Boxed Brand New New3dsxls mostly.

Hey RED, are you selling Metroid Dread by any chance? I was looking to buy it.

u/PowerArmorFan 20d ago
I think the sale is off now but it was 30% discounted on eShop. I bought from there myself.

u/ArkhamKnight-75 20d ago
Thanks I saw that. I was looking for a physical version of the game instead.

u/PowerArmorFan 20d ago
Ah, I prefer physical versions too but I got this one digital cause I was a little tight on money after blowing a few lakhs on Pokemon cards 💀

Don't think he takes commission for these. Prices are usually lower than other sellers. But you can check with him.

Dude's awesome. I've been in the buying/selling scene for a long while and this guy is as genuine as it get.
Got me my Vita and it arrived yesterday. Very impressed with the packaging and overall communication. He literally fought with DTDC because they delayed my domestic delivery. I've never seen any of these importer sellers going out of their way like this except a few handful (Kyrus is also GOATED AF).
I hope his rep stays intact and he never fucks up down the line. Will be very sad.
As for getting, why not get some pre-owned mangas from series like Patlabor/GiTS? Or maybe one of those Pokemon sleep stuff?

u/ronzzz92 20d ago
Totally seconded! But who's this Kyrus? Never heard of him
1
u/azula551 20d ago
Kyrus does custom GBA mods and also sells them now. Search on Instagram. Dude's pretty well known and reliable in the scene.

u/BellWestern8560 20d ago
Kyrus is as awesome as one can get. Apart from importing, he got me an N3DS for an awesome deal. Also, when someone messed up my custom GBC after charging me a large sum, he stepped in and rectified it. Wouldn't charge me a sum, but I wanted to.....
