Oly25 Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 I’ve been looking to make a couple purchases on Buyee recently and wanted to see if any users had review. Did some basic research but heated to see others people’s experiences through the site! BittyRanger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerkbait22 Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 I bought a DRT K9 and DRT Joker through buyee over the winter and didn't have an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefchris Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 I buy on there all the time with no issues, essentially it’s Japanese eBay. PayPal for all the transactions so you’re covered there. shipping is crazy fast even if you select the standard and not the “ship direct” like 3-4 days to Rhode Island, ship direct is like 2 days. tons of insane deals. I buy all my conquest off there, $300-375 for brand new conquest 300 and 400s. Killer deals on baits and stuff only issue I’ve had is that the oil for the reel is “forbidden item” and they’ll ask you if you want the item removed and discarded or the whole order returned. I have them throw away the oil! Besides that minor hiccup no issues lots of stick jdm baits for way less than us retail or flippers some stuff is hard to find cause of how it’s listed like if you search “ghost” or “drt ghost” you’ll get different results so if you’re looking for something specific try a few different titles for the best results. Easy enough once you get the hang of it and see how things are listed If you have any other questions let me know buzzed bait 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKNNH Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 Keep note that if you plan to buy rods, shipping prices will always vary. Sometimes your hit with 60 dollars and other times you get hit with 200 dollars. Depends on the seller, region in Japan, rod length, tube weight, and other factors.

Frezzy Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 I buy on Buyee all the time. At least a dozen baits (Monka, DRT, Deps, etc). Never once had an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harshwaters Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 No issues here. Sometimes they have discount coupons on shipping and price of the item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scojangles Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 I have purchased a few TK's on there, they came within 2-3 days after they shipped from Tokyo area to MN. So the shipping is super fast and not too steep considering that. I've found at least for certain colored TK's you'll be paying about 150-175 after the cost of shipping for that bait specifically. I've also looked at other brands and baits on there and, like @chefchris said, they are super discounted and often new same with reels. Buyee is awesome....you kinda gotta stay on it and switch up your searches a bunch but it's easy enough to get the hang of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BittyRanger Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 70% of my collection is off buyee. No complaints. Best source for drt and other jdm gear imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
projectmieu Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 Never had any issues. Quick shipping. Only thing I recommend is buy multiple things so that you can consolidate your package and somewhat save on shipping even though you end up spending more on baits lol.

How expensive is the shipping though? If I were to buy something that was like $14, would the shipping be like $50? Haha, and any baits I see are all auctions and are way more than usual. Maybe I’m not looking in the right spots! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
