It's time for a Touhou Consumer Survey!
nintendonut888:
So you say you'd let us essentially buy the games by sending you money? You have caught my interest, but I doubt I'll be able to participate. Needing parent permission, said parents being wary of scammers, etc. :( May I ask what each game would cost?
Ghaleon:
This is interesting indeed. while having the option around is nice. I really don't know how much traffic a whole page dedicated to shipping these Japanese goods would get. I have my own supplier so to speak ( <3 my super famicom with my copy of Seiken Densetsu 3) who has everything I've wanted thus far, so I don't know how much I'd use such a service.
The only thing I can think of is if and when I'm done playing Touhou for awhile, and I want more Japanese danmaku games, which aren't available here, I might like to order some of those. Alas the only one I know of at this moment is that mushinomusha (I don't know the spelling at all lol) game which I really can't afford..stupid arcade.
I also am nervous about ordering things long-distance. I seem to have this knack for being charged more money for "duty" than I do for the actual product form UPS. It's very annoying. For example the other day I ordered:
http://www.extremefood.com/shop/product.php?productid=42&cat=7&page=1
A carton of 4 hot sauces, it totaled about 50 bucks for me after shipping and exchange rate. UPS guy comes to my door, and even though I already paid shipping and handling, I was charge 40 damn bucks for "duty" WTF. This isn't the first time this has happened to me either. One time I ordered a snes cartridge from ebay using paypal, it was 13 bucks total. duty costed 30 bucks.
So.. Generally I don't ever order across border unless I'm desperate and have no alternative. This problem isn't even with the person I'm purchasing from, so they can't really do anything to help me. UPS on the other hand can goto hell >=P.
SONIC BHOCOLATE STRIKER:
do you mean mushihimesama?

Alright, it looks like a whole forum won't be necessary, but I'll wait for Letty's recommendation before I start my thread (TARC maybe?). Like I said I'll make and maintain a list of current and upcoming Touhou merchandise for people to peruse, which will include prices if I can remember them. (For now: Touhou shmups: ~1500 yen, EoSD & STB ~1000 yen, IaMP & SWR ~2700 yen)
But like I said, I'll have access to other stuff. I can get arcade parts and boards, console games, other doujin goods, books, figures, and the like. I might not have prices for them off the top of my head, but it will definitely be doable.
Letty Whiterock:
Honestly, I think that it should go in The Real World, as this is a real world service that isn't necessarily confined to Touhou products. That, and TARC already has three stickies, and I don't think having a lot of stickies. So go ahead and start it up whenever you feel like it, and I'll sticky your thread.
