I am! I bought it in poorer condition because I have a key fob for my car. I wasn't sure if it would fit (it did). Then I saw the Daimier Key Cles for about $100 from Japan, I just could not resist! My fob fits in the key cles, but not nearly as well as in the multicles. I am thinking I will use the key cles as a card holder/wallet in the pochette when I want to travel light. Unless I find something else that would work better. I need cards/cash, keys, sunglasses...and whatever else little, tiny things fit. My current wallet is small, but too big for the pochette with my glasses inside.

I don't have car keys, just two keys to my apartment, but I have quite a large key chain that I would still like to use. Not sure how it would combine with using either of them. It wouldn't fit in the cles and there's no space on the outside where I could clip it. :oh:
 
I got a Saumur from a Japanese seller some years back and it was great. Confirmed authentic. I know some ppl say that Japanese sellers only sell auths due to laws in Japan that are super strict but I've seen some taken;(

I just got a Neverfull gm from brandoff. Still waiting for authentication and then will get it shipped to me. Fingers crossed!

A lot of people on here have bought from Japanese resellers. I just wrote about my great experience with appleproject (eBay store: http://stores.ebay.com/Apple-Project-Boutique), who've been mentioned a few times in this forum. I thought their prices were more than fair and the shipping time was reasonable. What I like about Japanese resellers is that they will often exaggerate the flaws of the bag so you'll usually be pleasantly surprised once you receive it in the mail. In fact, I was so impressed with what I got, I'm considering buying from them to get gifts for family and friends.

I really don't think you can go wrong with any of them, just make sure you get your items authenticated if you're unsure of authenticity and that nearly all of these resellers will declare the full value of the merchandise bought. I haven't been dinged by customs, but I've heard of others who have, including US buyers if their item is really pricey (typically $1000+). The list of authentic resellers in the sticky section lists tons of Japanese sellers who are reliable. Hope that helps.
I follow Apple project, and I have purchased several items from him. Once an item didn't work for me so he allowed me to exchange it for something else because I didn't want a refund (even though he offered). His communication and shipping is also great! All my items from him have been authentic and better than described!
 
Sorry if I'm being a pain with a repetitive question, but what buyers would your recommend from Japan? I get paranoid about ending up with a counterfeit (some items are priced super cheap). I've seen a ton of YouTube clips about authentication and read numerous blogs.. I think I've freaked myself out :doh:

I would buy from someone with a good return policy, so that you can authenticate here or professionally and return if need be! I've purchased from monobank before and it went perfectly!

Is it normal for the same seller to up the price of an item that "ended" when relisting?

I've seen sellers doing it many times. Of course as buyers, we don't like it. But sellers also have 'sellers remorse', example they realize the item will sell at a higher price.
Is the relisted item the same exact item, meaning same heat stamp date/code etc? If it is, doesn't hurt to send them a message asking why. Just say ..out of curiosity..:hrmm:
 
Thanks gadis- it was The same exact one. Relisted within 5 min or less from it ending. I didn't msg the seller though. I figured it was theirs to list at whatever price but it did make me curious. :huh:
 
Yeah, it is rather annoying. I did it once a while back. I had assumed I lost the original dustbag + paperwork, so when the listing ended I increased the price by few dollars. I think I also edit the description to mention the dustbag & paperwork.
