JHOT, providing Yahoo Japan services, Its up and running. Options

[Spider77]

Not 100% of all the details, but for those of us local guys (DFW) we all know JHOT. And I was reading on DI.net today that JHOT is doing this thing for Yahoo Japan Auctions. Pretty much for those that do not know, JHOT is an importer and sometimes (rarely) has some nice Celica parts at great prices. Now they are allowing buyers to place bids (of sorts, you state max you are willing to pay) and submitting the bids on behalf of the buyer. Then have the part brought over and distributed. After looking at a few of the auctions, it looks like a good deal (100 for a GT-4 bumper). Im going to drop them an email and see how this works exactly and get back here and throw up the answer. So this might be abit premature, but figured at least the local guys can take advantage of this!
But as of now its just a small sampling of what I pulled
GT4 Bumper (white) - 66
Cusco adjustable pillow mounts - 206
Cusco Strut Bar - 105
GT4 Brake set (calipers/rotors) - 495
C-One "Underbody panel" - 178
GT4 Riser Blocks/Spoiler - 55
GT4 Fender (Left/Right) - 11 Each

Well you get the idea...my mouse is dying so I gotta go. I will post more when I find out the exact details.

You know what, I thought I put it in the first post (sorry still a bit dazed from celebrating last night). I'll include the JHOT post from DI.net, and the JHOT website as well. Just as long as we are clear that I am in no way a middle man of any type (already got a few PM's about this). If you have any questions or need clarification let me know and I'll be glad to ask!
DI.net Thread.
JHOT Imports
Again, I have no idea how much a total shipping cost would be (hopefully they get that worked out.....as now its on a case by case). But considering how much this stuff goes for there+shipping+profit (and I mean Ebay Sellers for the most part), this might be a chance to get some good deals.
Ok, so read the DI thread and all my ?'s are there with the answers from JHOT.
To make it all barney style:
1.) Place max bid through JHOT form
2.) Get approved and throw don 50% deposit
3.) Wait for part to get shipped stateside
4.) Pay the rest of costs (if your local prepare to pay sales tax) when part is ready to go to you.

Now they require at least 24 notice on stuff. And they are not open on weekends. I advise anyone doing this to read the thread from DI. Like I have said in some PM's. I am not a middle man, you need to go through JHOT for this. Im just putting this on here cause JHOT is local to me, and I have gotten nothing but excellent service from these guys.
