Settei Requests Rules
 
    I can search for a particular series that you are interested in or I can look for more sets from a series I already have.  These are the guidelines and possible costs for requesting a series:
  1. If the series is on settei.net and I have not yet traded for it, then you can ask me to trade for it for you (if you don't/can't trade for it yourself).  This can take awhile depending on what else has been ordered from there (I have a waiting list right now of series ordered from there, so it will take a long time to get).  This option does not require a down payment from the requestor.
  2. If the series is NOT on settei.net, then I can search for the series on Japanese auctions sites.  As long as the price does not go too high, then there is no down payment for series that I am interested in (see my wish list for series I am currently interested in acquiring).  If I find the series, then I will tell you how much the opening bid is, the approximate number of sheets and how high I am willing to bid on the auction.  If you want the series and wish me to bid higher, then you will have to pay for the difference between my max bid and whatever you set as the highest price you with to have me bidIf you choose to have me bid higher then what I would normally bid, you have to pay in advance the amount you are willing to go up to (you will get a refund if the auction is not won, or for any amount that doesn't use that max bid).  When you pay for part of acquiring the set, then you will get a copy of the set (in full color if the set is in color) for a reduced price (depending how high the auction goes, this 'cost' may end up only being shipping it to you).  If you wish to have the Set that is purchased from Japan (usually a Studio Set), then you will have to pay the full price for the set plus shipping costs from Japan (the last group of series I bought had a shipping cost of $60 for Surface mail, so this is an expensive option to choose, though it is available) and the shipping to you.  I cannot have it mailed directly to you from Japan due to the intermediary I have to go through to acquire these sheets.
  3. If the series is NOT on settei.net, AND I am NOT interested  in it, then I can search for the series on Japanese auctions sites.  If I find the series, then I will tell you how much the opening bid is, the approximate number of sheets are offered.  If you want the series and wish me to bid on it, then you will have to pay for the max bid you set to have me bidYou have to pay in advance the amount you are willing to go up to (you will get a refund if the auction is not won, or for any amount that doesn't use that max bid).  If you do NOT wish to pay for shipping from Japan, then you will get a copy of the set (in full color if the set is in color) for the price you paid for the auction.  If you wish to have the studio set (or whatever it is that the auction has), then you will have to pay the full price for the set plus shipping costs from Japan (the last group of series I bought had a shipping cost of $60 for Surface mail, though airmail shipping is available) and the shipping to you.  I cannot have it mailed directly to you from Japan due to the intermediary I have to go through to acquire these sheets.
 I cannot guarantee that I can get any series for you (nor what characters will be in it), and if it turns out that I could not get you the series, then I will give you a full refund.  Otherwise, all sales are final.

Sorry I have to ask for an advance payment, but I have no way of having you pay for something you asked me to get once I have committed to purchasing the set from Japan (and these get expensive real fast).  This is to keep me from having someone say they will bid to X amount, and then have them not pay once the auction is won.  For your protection, any costs associated with requesting sheets can only be conducted through Paypal.

Note:  Shipping options from Japan are Surface Mail (2-3 months, but cheapest), Sal Mail (usually 1-2 months, but costs more than Surface mail), Air Mail (can take up to 1 month, costs more than Sal, though normally not by much), and Registered Express Mail (within 2weeks, normally takes 1, very expensive, though the safest shipping method)
