<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stork, post: 8450907, member: 71642&quot;]Not the OP but I have won several lots from Auction World in the past--the same auction in fact but not such a nice piece <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> .&nbsp; They are super easy to work with (and if there are questions they have someone who can easily communicate in English via email).</p><p><br /></p><p>In the past I have done Paypal for smaller lots or bank wires which my US institution delivered in yen.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>More recently I have opened a Wise (Transferwise) account and send it directly for much less.&nbsp; I keep my account in dollars (either a balance or they can withdraw from a linked account if you wish) and they convert/send in yen at good exchange rates.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The other two Japanese auction houses I have purchased from I have just sent wires from either my bank or credit union.&nbsp; Not cost effective for lesser priced lots and unfortunately they don&#039;t have the Wise option (I&#039;m fuzzy on the details but if I am entering the banking information it&#039;s more like a wire and the process was not supported due to costs, AW is different as they have an actual Wise account too).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In any case a wire from your US account in dollars can be delivered via wire in yen.&nbsp; It requires a little extra work, but some things are worth it.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=77704]@panzerman[/USER] may have a different way, but the ability to use Wise (or even Paypal) along with sending wires makes these auction houses more accessible.&nbsp; I have done similar with a few in Europe too.</p><p><br /></p><p>Soooo many ways to spend money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
