Looking for a Faiz or Kaixa DX Belt

[Hikuro]

Lemme tell you my story here first:
Last week I was cruising thru ebay thinking "Man I'd really like a faiz belt" and I found one off an ebayer for 58 bucks, thought "WOW! WHAT A GREAT DEAL!" cause the last time I saw a Faiz belt it was almsot 150 bucks!
So I went and picked it up, got it and opened it up and quickly realized, this wasn't a DX belt!
So I went on the item I bidded on and it doesn't say squat that it's a DX belt or anything...however upon closer inspection I noticed the guy lists all his belts the exact same....so I really had no clue that there were two different belts.

Talked to my friend Rikun in japan about it, and I showed him what I got, his response "WOW! That's something you can find in grocery stores man!" Which looks exactly like what I got, something from the toy aile of an albertsons or safeway.

I contacted the seller and though his english was rough, it looked like he was going to help me out, but then he changed his mind and pretty much told me TS.

Rikun told me the Faiz belt is pretty rare to get ahold of since the series is long over......but the Kaixa belt is actually more distributed but it's like 65 dollars, (the guy on ebay is selling it for 100!)

What I'm asking is, if anyone knows a place where I can get Faiz or Kaixa DX belt.....for about what they're normally being sold as on retail...I always liked the 555 rider belts about asmuch as I liked the Zecters....so if someone could help me out that would be appreciative.

Super expensive though.

Hey thanks! Wow.......that is pretty spendy, over 100 bucks for the belt, I'd have to put in like 13 hours of overtime to cover that cost....

That was a big help thanks!

You could always do a search using "ドライバー" (Fiaz Driver) on Yahoo Japan. Using Shoppingmall Japan you could probably get one for $30 not including shipping. I got a complete Faiz Gear with Gear box that way. All for $60.

Oooooohhhhh now that's very interesting.

I'll have to research that sometime.

Sorry for double posting, I did find the Faiz driver, accelrator, pointer etc....180 some odd dollars if I was looking at it right......and these guys don't have a problem with shipping to the US huh?

If you're going through the Yahoo! Auctions...

99% of the time they do not ship internationally without a ... auctioning service. One of those sites that they'll bid on it for you and you pay a percentage for them to recieve the product and ship it to you in America.

So that 180 Faiz set would be about 230 in the end.

That's what Shoppingmall Japan is for. They'll ship it anywhere you'd like.

Oh....man that kind of sucks....so if I bought a complete set of 555 gear...I'd have a pretty hefty service charge without even having shipping involved yet.....crap -_-.

The original plan was too bid, get the item, have it sent to my friends place in Japan, have him hold on to it for a few weeks and then send him the cash to get it EMS'ed.....

Mer, now I don't know what to do.

What do you guys think I should do? Doing this whole "Silent" bidding thing is pretty new to me.

Well, maybe you should pay off your bills before investing 200 dollars into a toy set?
