Guys get your Yokomo bits and pieces from HK. The place I use is hobbymania.com.hk. There site has sweet bugger all on it but you can email them and request pricing for parts etc. You can also bargain with them.

Shipping from HK is generally $25 US via EMS which means you can receive it within 2 - 4 days.

They also take PayPal.

go to www.paypal.com

You will find all the Info you need. You will need to register a credit card with them. You can send money to Individuals and businesses worlwide if they also have an account. It costs you nothing to send money but it costs the recipient about 5%

Default Telegraphic transfer

What you can do... is find out the exact amount. Then withdraw that money from your bank account and if your buying from a hobby shop in japan or somewhere like that you can get your money transfered into the shops bank account through telegraphic transfer.... but it costs like 30 bucks to change aus money to japan money.

hope this helps

I think that fee also includes transferring the money to where you are sending it

Default Re: CC details

lol, online from frontline? people dont know about RMS? Hmmm

Had to laugh other day, seen Venom temp monitor on ebay, 2nd hand looking very used sold for $42.50, they are at RMS for $35 BRAND NEW! hahahaha

Paypal is the best way IMO, no TT Fee's etc.. Then C/Card.

As for C/Cards on the internet, as long as its a secure session dont worry about the transfer of info across the net, worry about the people at the other end you are giving ur info to (But thats just like every time you buy anything etc, does that punk behind the counter look like he could do with some extra $$? milk milk the c/card # hehehe
