    you need a proxy service like rinkya or similar.
    Or if you know any homies in Japan enlist their help.

    ^^^ This. Will look into the proxy server thing, though.

    as far as i know they're not. There are japanese bidservices, where once you win an auction it gets sent to them and they send it to you.

    You really need a friend in Japan, and remember Japanese postage is a bitch.

    It's kinda f'ed up but they seem keen to keep this as a Japan only service, gajin is not welcome here.

    The other thing to keep in mind is that (unless something has changed) you can only bid up to ┬Ñ5000 with a regular (i.e. free) account ÔÇô if you want to bid more, you need some sort of enhanced account.

    So if you're bidding on in-demand stuff you might look into the bidding service.
