Rinkya: Japan Auction Service

If you have ever wanted to bid on online auctions in Japan but can't read Japanese or are dealing with a seller who doesn't want to ship internationally, you should check outRinkya: Japan Auction Service. The site doesn't translate the item descriptions for you, but it does give you the current price, but it now price, time remaining, highest bidder and bid history info in English. The charge a commission, bank fees and shipping fees, which all seem like they could add up pretty quickly, but if there's some item that you just have to have and it's not available outside Japan, it might be your solution.
