Looking to purchased preowned figures.

Does anyone know of somewhere other than ebay that you can buy preowned figures? It doesn't necessarily have to be 100% reliable but at least as reliable as ebay. Thanks, I'm really dyeing to get a Freeing Haruhi.

After seeing this https://www.fakku.net/viewtopic.php?t=63915 i'm staying away from used figurines even more. Just buy them new.If you want to buy used figurines you can go to Amazon.com

There are more than a few figures which you can no longer purchase on Amazon or many of the other notable modle/figure websites so I've had to heavily rely on ebay. I've had some success but would like more options. Do you have any sites that you frequently use?

Another place i use but i think they don't sell used items

Mandarake has some figures which have been opened and the like. I bought a Hideyoshi figure there and got it at a lower price because it was opened, but it was in perfect condition when I got it.

figure.fm, i know it is not a hop website but there are alot of users on there who sell there stuff check it out

Ever since i read that thread it makes me not to buy preowned figures anymore !

Poor little Figures. I'm kinda disappointed on how they treat their figures, such a waste of money IMO. Well, mandarake are almost second hand but they have rare figurines.

If i were to do that which i never will, to my figurines especially the Tifa one's, i would lose all self respect for myself. That right there is crazy, how could somebody even think of that?

I'm gonna be honest, I was about to puke when I saw those images. Well, this is the internet after all...

If those figurines can come to life like in the movie toy story i wonder how they would feel.

they would feel dirty and abused :D

If you dun luv your girls, dun make them ur daughters in the first place.

If you wanna look for reliable and gd condition girls, look for ME

Have to second Mandarake here. Not just for figures, but other things as well. Prices vary between the stores, with some being on the high end, but they're generally fairly priced when it comes to things like figures. If there's any severe damage to the figure/packaging, that will usually be included in the description, though depending on the store you might want to run the Japanese text in a translator before hand, as some stores are better at uploading full English descriptions than others.

It also all but eliminates the chance of getting fakes.

Only downside is the shitty exchange rate (which isn't that big of deal, as it's usually passed on through increased prices with US retailers) and the extra cost for (fast) shipping.

I prefer to browse the classifieds on figure.fm and forums of figure collecting societies that I'm registered with.
