This lowball will be one of three (possibly definitely four!?) being held to replace our TV.
The proceeds from the lowballs will be combined with whatever I am able to save until my birthday, January the 5th and then I will be buying whatever TV we are able to afford at that time from the selections I have made. I made the following chart to track progress!


The reason we need a new TV though, is that our has slowly developed lines over the past months. It used to have a couple that would stay on for the first few minutes the TV was on, but then more began to form and some began to stay even after hours of viewing.
Currently, there are 9 lines annoying the hell out of us. It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't change color all the time based on the on screen image.
Here are some example pics I took a few weeks back when we had only 7 active lines.






Do you want to watch movies or game on this TV? It gains another line or two every few weeks, so I figure it should be pretty much junk in a few months.

Come on! Help out! You know you wanna!

Typical Lowball Rules:

START DATE: 8/27/12
END DATE: 9/1~2/12
PAYMENT METHODS ACCEPTED: PP, AP, MO

1) Simply type in your max bid for the item(s) in this thread. No PMs. No Emails. Just reply in the forum reply section. This is to keep bids public. Obviously post edits and spoilers hiding bids are NOT acceptable. If you made a mistake in your submission, please post again.
2) I will update the first page to reflect your bids as often as possible. Feel free to check the latest bids on the last page(s) if you are unsure of the latest update time.
3) There is no minimum to win any item. You can win them for as little as you bid. So if you bid $1.00 and win it, it's yours for a $1.00 (plus shipping). If someone bids $5 and you outbid them for $10, you may win the item for your $10 bid and pay your bid plus shipping at the end of the sale.
4) All bids start at $1. The smallest bid increment is $.50, no $.10 or $.01 bids!
5) Please note that you will be expected to pay the amount you bid plus appropriate shipping if you have the highest offer at the end. Negative feedback may be left for those who choose not to follow through with payment.
6) If you place a bid, you are committing to that item. DO NOT place a bid if you do not intend to keep that bid active. While I understand that sometimes unavoidable circumstances arise, if you are fearful that this may happen, please wait to bid on the last day so you know that nothing unexpected occurred!
7) All bids are welcome (excluding bids from CAGs on my Negative Experience List).

Ending the Auction:
I will not be posting the exact ending time, but I will tell you it will end sometime very late (EST) on 9-1-12 or possibly even very early (EST) on 9-2-12. Once I post saying AUCTION OVER - NO MORE BIDS ACCEPTED, that is it and nothing further will count.

Shipping/Payment:
The majority of my items ship from Japan, although a few are held in the U.S. by a friend. Anything shipping from the U.S. will be marked as such.
All shipping will be done at actual cost, so please leave a few days after the auction for the typical sorting, packing, weighing and the ever-present mad rush to find even more appropriate packing materials for those odd shaped packages.
The OP will be updated with totals as I always do, so please stop back after the lowball for your total. If I have not heard from you for a few days after totals are up, I will PM you and we will work out the payment details.

Those of you concerned about the price of shipping, I'm sure there are many here that will tell you shipping from Japan is most likely more reasonable than you would imagine. Strangely enough, some smaller packages are cheap from Japan to the U.S. than from Canada to the U.S.
I always do my best to ensure things are safely packed, but still light enough to save you a few bucks!

The following form(s) of payments are accepted.
~ Paypal
~ Amazon Payments
~ Money Order (to a CAG in the U.S.)

As always, once I have the shipping up, I will be giving the option of sending money in U.S. Dollars or in Japanese Yen. Yen works best for me as it will keep me from having to pay a huge conversion fee in a few months when I have to move the money over to my Japanese Paypal account to get the new TV, so if you can send there, it's very appreciated! Selecting "Payment Owed" works best and would be great as the fee is lower. Thanks!

I will be working to get grand totals up ASAP.

Payment in Dollars to: (AMAZON PAYMENTS) or (PAYPAL) dv8maddots(at)aol.com

Sucks about your tv man, what catagory of items will you have? Just curious. If you need a placeholder, I can delete this message.

What name brand is your TV?
That's the first time i hear about this happing to a TV.
---
I'm in and even more if you have anymore of those metal card like that k-on one you had last time.

Sounds good, I'll be keeping an eye out for the lowball. Hopefully you can get a nice upgrade from all of this.

Can't wait to see the stuff you'll put in the lowball

That stinks. Good luck with the lowball(s) I'm gonna keep my eye on this tread.

The auctions will be smaller than my typical ones since I am working so much and also to spread things out over the three or four.
It will be the typical assortment from me, pretty full of random Japanese items with some games, movies, etc thrown in.
No worries about the second post. I don't need any extra placeholders on the front page since I will have weeks between each lowball. Thanks though!

It's a Mitsubishi. And, it seems like you are in luck on metal cards. Metal dog tags too!

I will start getting up the basics of the list today. I imagine each auction will be less than 100 items.

Still have more to add to the OP, but it will have to wait until tomorrow.

If nothing catches your eye, keep checking back here and there over the coming weeks and months for more!

hopefully we can give you enough for the 70" TV and that does suck about the random color changing lines.

Mitsubishi? never heard of that mark, but now i know what name brand to stay away from.
-

Oh hell yes, more things to put on my key chain.

BTW: on Baka to Test S1 can switch to the japanese dub?
or does it only come in english.

Sorry to jump on early, but do you have an estimate on how much additional price in shipping the bed sheet is going to be?

Yes, it offers both Japanese and English audio according to the package.

Hard to say. It's not that heavy, I mean, it is in a bag and comes in a box, but the box itself is kind of thin. I'd say it'll be less than 1000yen easily if it was shipped on it's own. Probably even cheaper when combined with other items since the rates go up slower once you get the base shipping out of the way.

Whoops, silly me

A Mitsubishi TV is messing up like that. Now, I know what company to stay away from. Wish you the best of luck, hope these lowballs help you get the top tv on your list.

Also,"Pepsi Salty Watermelon" Pepsi is so much more creative over there. Pepsi always seems to play follow the leader with Coke here in the states.

I'll throw some bids your way.

needs more games!
