When you can't sell a (maybe) 15,000 yen medal (if it had the correct case) for months on end.......

Double your efforts, and TRIPLE the price?

I'd like to know what the two rejected offers were....

Doesn't double-selling violate eBay policy?

I think E-$cam is open house for these sorts of operations.

It now appears that the ebay and YJ sellers are different. If someone buys it on ebay, that seller will snatch it up on YJ. Then sell it to the ebay bidder.

I guess...

Their description says:

"We are a group and collective of local sellers that helps and bridges foreign clients to finding your most-sought after Japan-made, Japan-found products. We represent many collectors and estates as well and help market many products and crafts."

I guess one of them, if you buy this jazz, could be the Yahoo seller. I'm going to flat-out ask - see if I get an answer! Thanks for posting on that other thread Rich! I should visit Wehrmacht seriously more often, I'm missing out on good stuff!
