Hey guys, first time poster. I just got into One Piece last year and it’s the first manga/anime that I’ve made an active push to purchase lots of merchandise from. I figure I’ll get my name out there in some small way so I don’t come off as completely untrustworthy if I want to get in on some buy/sell/trade of OP merch here on AP in the future.
Also, I’m an import newb full of stupid questions that I’m going to have to ask sooner or later. Learning where to buy and avoiding counterfeiters is pretty tough when I have so much to catch up on and not a lot of options for buying old merch.
To start with, here’s a question. I looked at the red-flag sellers list but it looks like a place to make reports of bad sellers rather than to ask whether or not a certain seller is bad, so I’ll ask here. On ebay, does anyone know anything about the seller yagutoro? I’m after the Grand Line Jewelry Girls figures and his listings are the only ones that look like they have a chance of being authentic. Not priced too low, explicitly claims items are authentic, and 100% positive feedback but located in Hong Kong and uses stock images.
Google failed me when I tried to find other opinions of this seller, so I’m hoping somebody here’s dealt with him. Even if not, I’d really appreciate an expert opinion on this listing. I promise that not every post I make will be begging for advice :P
