Proxy site for Hong Kong

[Baiohazãdo]

Is there any proxy site which helps you buy items from Hong Kong?

[Helegad]

Why would you want a proxy site? Most sites are safe, just use ones that are recommended by people.

[Baiohazãdo]

Well, I'm looking to get auctions but it's in chinese and the registration and such is difficult.

He means a proxy-bidding/buying site, not a computer proxy. I don't know of any myself.

[Helegad]

Um... could someone please explain? What's a proxy-bidding site?

[nemesis_lover]

i think its a site that bids for you, as only japan ppl can bid on their sites. So this proxy bidding site enters your willing amount to bid/pay and then you pay them the total fees inc postage, could be wrong but i hope i kinda touched the surface :S

[Dot50Cal]

Nope, you pretty much hit the nail on the head.

[Helegad]

So like eBay's maximum bid system?

[Darkmoon]

Sort of. Only you're paying someone else to do the actual bidding for you.

[nemesis_lover]

so it'll work like this:
see a wicked biohazard item thats rare and all and you think "i'll buy nemesis lover this"
next you contact this proxy site and say "i wish to buy this item, my max bid is so and so and heres the item URL link".
Before you go any further, they ask for you to send them payment for half of what you wish for your final price to be, such as you want an item for $100, final bid, then you send them $50.
This is to make sure they don't buy the item and then you back out and run away somewhere far away
if you lose the item, you get ur cash back, if you win the item then you pay the final price, along with postage and i'm not sure but you may have to give them a small fee, not quite sure on that part.
Then the item will come and then you can send it to:
nemesis_lover
09 Racoon Rd
STARS
London
TR-69

[Helegad]

Oh, so like some sort of manual maximum bid system? Okay, I get it

[nemesis_lover]

and you get the part where you buy stuff for nemesis lover right

[Helegad]

Oh yeah, that too, but it's an optional extra

[nemesis_lover]

yeah you could say

I found one that 'claimed' to but I couldn't work out how to do it. It gave me options to bid on Japanese stuff but the HK option didn't seem to work at all .
Your best bet is to write to sellers and offer to buy it directly from them (it's risky but it's worked for me before).
I'm going to Honkers (HK) in just over a weeks time
I'll be doing some hunting around for some rare Biohazard items while there.
