Title: Anyone used www.buyfromkorea.kr?
Post by: skriefal on Fri, 27 February 2009, 21:00:24

Has anyone used http://www.buyfromkorea.kr as a buying agent?  They appear to offer the same sort of service that J-Goods, Crescent Shop, etc, offer for purchases from Japan.

Hmm.  Interesting.  I haven't used them myself, but if they're any good, they may be able to score the infamouse black, Topre Realforce 101...

Buyfromkorea already responded to my request.  Apparently Leopold's page for the Realforce 86U states that the item is out of stock, and that it was a limited-run product with no more available.  It also states that they might make more in 2-3 months.  I didn't ask about the 101, but its status is probably similar.

I haven't used them. They responded quickly to my request for an estimate. They are affiliated with ebaylink (http://www.ebaylink.co.kr/kor/about_us_english.php).
