Is Buyee/Yahoo Auctions Japan a good place to buy teapots?

I can provide a much more personalized service than Buyee but it would take longer before you purchase anything, I guess. I would not use Yahoo Auction and would not purchase online. What you are looking for is probably available in my area ( North Kyushu : Kita Kyushu, Fukuoka, Kurume ~ 5 million people urban area ). For my business, I visit regularly and know very well all the stores selling second hand stuff, any kind of stuff, in the whole region. ( I have bought and re sold old cast iron teapots to Singapore and still have a rusty one ) I you could provide good photos of the kind of thing you a looking for, I could contact you when I see something ( I said that it would take longer, because I cannot afford to go and search only for you ) and you could take your time to decide, I go to the stores all the time, you won't have to rush anything, I can takes as many pics as you want, check things for you, if it takes too long we could miss the purchase but that cannot be helped ... You would see the asked price and we would negotiate my fee, if we agreed we could deal.

N.B. I am serious, my feedback is verifiable ( eBay, Delcampe )
