Exploring Sendico: A Fast and Reliable Japanese Tech Auctionand Shopping Proxy Service
For those who have explored the world of online shopping, they are likely familiar with the names Wishtery Tech, Mystery Tech, and Temu Tech. However, today's adventure takes us to Japan, where we will be exploring a unique tech auctionand shopping proxy service called Sendico. With its fast, reliable, and easy-to-use platform, Sendico allows users to purchase products from popular Japanese online stores and Japan auctions.
The Concept of Sendico
Sendico is an innovative solution for those who want to buy high-quality products from Japan without the hassle of navigating complex language barriers or navigating through unfamiliar online marketplaces. By using Sendico's service, users can deposit funds into their account, specify a maximum price range, and let Sendico bid on their behalf. If the bid is successful, the items are shipped directly to the user, who then receives a neat little box containing all the purchased products.
The Benefits of Using Sendico
One of the main advantages of using Sendico is that it eliminates the need to pay for shipping individually for each item. This can be a significant cost savings, especially when purchasing multiple items from different sellers. Additionally, by utilizing Sendico's service, users can take advantage of lower prices found in Japan, where international marketplaces may not offer the same competitive pricing.
The Experience with Sendico
Today, our journey begins with the purchase of a rare Game Boy Light, a Japanese-only variant of the classic Nintendo handheld console. The process began by searching for the Game Boy Light on various online platforms, including Yahoo! Auctions and eBay. However, it quickly became apparent that navigating these marketplaces would be time-consuming and expensive due to shipping costs. In contrast, using Sendico's service proved to be a much faster and more convenient option.
The First Purchase: The Game Boy Light
Our first purchase was the Nintendo Game Boy Light, which we had previously seen on various online platforms. With Sendico's help, we were able to find a good condition unit at a competitive price. We also took advantage of an additional opportunity to purchase some rare Pokémon cards during our search.
The Package Arrives
After three weeks of waiting, our package finally arrived, and we were excited to see what Sendico had in store for us. The package was carefully packed and contained several items, including the Game Boy Light and a few surprise Pokémon cards. We were thrilled to discover that there might be more cards hidden within the packaging.
The Pokémon Cards
Among the items included in our package was a rare Pokémon card that we had not seen before. Initially, it appeared to be just one card, but upon closer inspection, we found another card hidden beneath the surface of the top loader. We were overjoyed by this unexpected discovery and grateful for the opportunity to own these rare cards.
Conclusion
Our experience with Sendico has been nothing short of remarkable. By utilizing their fast, reliable, and easy-to-use service, we were able to purchase high-quality products from Japan at competitive prices without the hassle of navigating complex online marketplaces. We look forward to continuing our journey with Sendico and exploring more of what this innovative tech auctionand shopping proxy service has to offer.
WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en- You've seen Wishtery Tech,you've seen Mystery Tech,you've even seen Temu Tech,but today, we're buying tech from Japan.And no, no, not just any Japanese tech,we're using Sendico.Sendico is a fast, reliable,and easy to use auctionand shopping proxy service.Herein, you can buy productsfrom most popular Japaneseonline stores and Japan auctions.Theoretically, we coulddeposit some money in Sendico,they will then bid on my behalf basedon whatever my sort of maximum price is,and then if I win it, it allgoes to the Sendico Warehouse.They package up all my items,and then I get one neat little box,which hopefully, won't beincredibly expensive to ship.What do I want today?I want a Game Boy Light.I'm gonna start with a Game Boy Light.Now to be fair, a lot of itemsthat I'm looking for today,could be purchased on eBay, right?And there's plenty of Japanesesellers that do ship on eBay.The problem is that, first of all,you're paying shipping for eachand every individual thing.And second of all, frommy limited experience,items tend to be a littlebit cheaper domestically,in Japan versus the international market,because on eBay,every single Game BoyLight's gonna be compared,whereas, if I go on like, say,Yahoo! Auctions or something,odds are, hopefully, I can get somethingthat's a little bit cheaper.Oh, here we go.So, good conditionNintendo Game Boy Light.Now, if you're not familiar,the Game Boy Light was arare-ish Japanese-only Game Boy.This was essentially basedon the Game Boy Pocket.It came out right around the same time,as the Game Boy Color,and the real advantage here,we would have a very dim,but technically, lit screen.I want a Game Boy Light in my life.I'm just gonna look up Pokemon cards,and see maybe we getlike a lot or something.What the?Next-Generation World Hobby Fair.I have never seen this card in my life.$14?I'm not an emotional kindof person, but I might cry.You should subscribe andring-a-ling the ding-a-ling button.Every subscription is one tear.Wait, no, that's the opposite.Wait, wait, wait, no.Every one of you who'd, don'thit the subscribe button,I cry that I missed an opportunity.There we go, that makes alittle bit more logical sense.All right, I'm about to go hard.I'm about to go.(Austin clapping)And so my friends, ourpackage has arrived.So this whole processtook about three weeks,although, it could havebeen a little bit faster,so it was slowly slowed downby some of the auctions,I had, had like five or six days left.That being said, once theyactually shipped it out,I had to pay a lot of moneyvia DHL to get it here.- How much was a lot of money?- We'll talk about that later.Very well packed.Oh, we got a bunch of stuff.- I see a Pokemon card.- Here's the thing.- Wait, so, just one?- I think might be a couple more.Ooh...Wait, I can actually getthis outta the top loader.- Okay, great.- He's gonna dissolveand degrade the card.- As soon as oxygen hits this.- That's not the way it works!- I've seen "The Mummy."- I'd say this is probablylike light played,but for a neato little card,that I've quite literally never seen inlike eBay or a card shop or anything.That's really neat.So one of the nice thingsabout Sendico is that,you get all these items andwhat basically what happens is,is that when items show upto the Sendico warehouse,they unpack them and theykind of like set them off,to the side and they nicely repack them.So you don't have like abunch of small boxes inside.They actually do thisnice and neatly here,and I dunno how much they do,but supposedly they do at leastsomewhat inspect the itemsto make sure that it'swhat it was supposed to be.So you don't get like scammed.I don't actually know howmuch they do that for,but everything so far has been nice.Oh, okay.So these are our Casio Loopy games.Look, see we've got-- Your chest just been blinking red,for the past 15 minutes.- Let me know the in the comments below,If you like the POV cam.Don't you like to see myhands from both sides?- Ha ha, we bulliedhim into taking it off!- Not nice guys.I'm going into this completely blind.I have no idea what the Loopyis at all, but I will tell youthat we got ourselves...- Is that a tape deck?- It's like a label maker built in.- What?- Oh, let's go.- What is a Loopy?So we're gonna startout with PC collection.Let's see if this actually wants to work.- Ooh, listen to that baby purr.- Oh wait, AV NTSC.One moment please.While we fast forward three weeks,and order a Japanesecompatible television,to demo the Loopy with.Oh, hello, welcome back.Now that we have a PAL to NTSC converter,why don't we try the Loopy again?- Is there like a game?- How strange.No, it...- Ah, classic.- I mean...Oh, oh, oh, it worked it did it!I had to blow the cartridge. (laughs)Art, music, angel, a creepycat, whatever that is.Let's do paint.- Oh, it's the thingyou don't say anyone.- Do I wanna be a mouse,a girl or an elephant?I'll be a mouse.Okay, so wait, I'm very confused.All right, did I just do the thing?- Yo!- Okay, we did it.Now I'm going to cut it and reveal.Oh, look how cute that is!- Oh, it worked!- I mean it'sreally, really small,but look how cute that is.Awww. All right,well I know who this is getting.This goes right on Robo T Raptor- On his thigh?- Yeah, where do you, Imean, yeah, of course.So for $65, this was very cheap.Wait, let's pick one more.What do we think is cool?- Dress.- Dress?This one, look at the style.- You just make you,and then print yourself out.- I will do that.What are we gonna put Mega Austin on?- The back of the TV.- Okay, it'd be a really funny gag,in like two to three minutes, don't worry.Now, wait, wait, wait, I'mnot done, I'm not done.Hold on.- This is like if you toldMidjourney to render a human,and it hallucinatedsomewhere in the middle.- May I present to you Austin2.0 comprising of 16 expertlyprinted stickers from the Casio Loopy.I will be taking no further questions,on why I'm a thick boy,with a half an extra leg and three eyes.And of course I can'torder stuff from Japan,without getting the mostimportant item of all.- Drugs?- That's not the place to get those.Ken, you should know this.Pokemon cards, the next best thing.This my friends, is the Pokemon 151 set,which is the original 151 Pokemon.All in a nice, neat set.I'm very excited because this is actuallynot out in English yet.So this is gonna be comingout later this year,but we have not one but two boxes,of 151 mostly because one of these is...One of these, we're justgonna keep down here.Don't mind that one.- Are you taking company property?- No, no, what are you-No, see, the card's right here?There's just one in the box.- You are so luckyyou own the company.- This is true.This set retails forroughly 40 US dollars.However, we paid significantly more,than that and on theresale market right now,these boxes are going forsome truly spectacular prices.Gang, would you like to comeover and open cards with me?All right, let's stack up the good hits,and the bad hits side by side.I don't know if we pulledour value out of this box,but I will say the funof opening the first 151,and like there's so many cool hits.You look for the MasterBall and stuff, man.I think it's time to doanother Sendico, right?- Oh, I thought you were gonna say,let's open the other box.- No, no, we're not doing that.I'll be honest, a big reasonwhy I wanted to do this video,is that Japan is absolutelyoverflowing with DS's,and Game Boys and a lot ofthem are surprisingly cheap.For $27 this DS Lite, oh,I can immediately tell you,that's in good shape.So to go along withthis, even though this,as a DS is region free,so that means you can putin pretty much any game.We got actually a couple of options here.We've got, oh, what is it called?It's not "Brain Age."They called it like braintraining or something.I actually don't know whatit's called in Japanese,but this is basically "Brain Age,"and we also got another one.Wait, what?Wait, are you trying to tellme that I got two copies,of Brain Age and the DS for $27? (cackles)Nice.Uh-oh, I'll be right back.I wanna go find a DS that Iknow works, and we're gonnaget to the bottom ofthis one moment, please.- See, what would happen if I just did it?Just gonna...- Are you blowing it again?Oh my god, Ken blew it and it fixed it.- And I also hit itlike you're supposed to.- So I'm gonna try a flash cartto see if this works first.Boom, look at that.So we've got all the ROM,I mean the games, youknow, of course that...- That you own legally?- Actually I do.Amazingly enough, Ken is correct,that the DS actually does work.The only real bad thing you can say shortof that slightly scuffedslot, which I guess is,just probably slightly dirtyconsidering it works fineis that the screen, bothscreens are a little bit used,but definitely the bottomone is a little yellow.That being said though, it's not unusable,and considering thefact that we got the DS,in I would say good condition,and a couple of excellentboxed Japanese games,for 27 bucks, that's pretty good.That's pretty good.Next step, we have the Game Gear!Now there were other versions of sortof Game Boy competitors back in the day.There was the Atari Lynx,there was the Sega Nomadwhich is basically just a Genesis,that was in a portable form factor.But in my opinion, theGame Gear was one of,if not really the bestcompetition to the Game Boy,much more powerful, color LCD display.The downside was it was huge,and it lasted like no timeon a ton of batteries.- Oh whoa.- Oh it matches my shirt!This thing is dope andit does come with a game,which I believe is Sonic Two?Yes, "Sonic and Tails."It's not in perfect condition.Of course not, but this is so decent.Like very, very solid,especially considering,that this is basically 30years old at this point?That's one of the mainadvantages of getting stuff,from Japan because youcan get a Game Gear here.I don't think they eversold the yellow Game Gear,in the United States,but the difference is,is that Japanese stuff typicallyhas quite nice quality.So we've got ourselves a D-padwhich does not feel great,but I think that's justthe way it was designed.All right, shall we play the Game Gear?Oh my God, that screen's bad. (laughs)Wow, so here's a reminderthat early LCDs were bad,or at least the game hasnot crashed, but hang on,I need to actually turnthat brightness down.So this is like full brightness,and the brightness is actually okay,but the problem is that itcompletely wrecks your contrast.So I definitely need tobring that down some.- It looks fast.- Oh yeah, the game runs fine.The screen is ghostinglike a ghosty ghost.For $110, not only do wehave the yellow Game Gear,but also a copy of the game.Is that a good deal?I think it's a pretty decent deal,especially because I havenever seen a yellow Game Gear.Now, if you're a Game Gear aficionado,and you wanna let me know,in the comments thatthis was a common color,and that I'm a moron forthinking that 99% of themare black, feel free to let me know.But this is neat.So of course I can't goon a Japanese website,and order weird, neat Japanesetech without getting myselfthe good old reliable, a Game Boy,but not just any Game Boy.Oh no, not only is it yellow,'cause of course it is.This is a very cool Game Boy.This is a Game Boy Light.I will say I actually usedto own a gold Game Boy Light,that I sadly no longer have.I did a video on it, if youwanna see an old school,Austin video.- Oh, the one thatgot lost in the fire?- Yeah.So I purchased this for $141.I'm gonna be honest, I'm stillused to seeing Game Boys,like modified with like, you know,aftermarket shells and stuff.I'm not 1000% sure that thisis actually a real color,that you could buy.I've certainly never seen it before.- It is a limited edition,Toys R Us version of it.- Toys R Us Japan?- Toys R Us Japan.- Jeffrey, was cheating on me in Japan?- This is 340 bucks on eBay.Some without games areanywhere between 250 to 300.on varying conditions,but they're all being importedfrom Japan by eBay sellers.- So, basically what you'resaying is people are goingon Sendico buying Japanese tech for cheap,maybe giving a little bit of TLC,and flipping it for morons,on eBay for double the price?I mean flipping it is a smart idea.And if you like my GameBoy, you can visit my eBay.No you can't, I'm keeping this.So this is a game thatactually came with it.Now it's got that sort ofweird taller cartridge,which it's got the littleGB kiss thing on the top,if I know what I'm talking about.And I vaguely do, I believe this is IR.So you actually get touse a couple of games,to wirelessly communicate,much like how there was an IR sensor,on the top of the Game Boy Color,which was built in a little bit later.Okay, well, so the game is not recognized.That's fine.It has been a hundredpercent success rate so far.So let's just do it.I can't believe you're neversupposed to really spit,or do that, but whatever, let's try again.Yep, it worked (laughs)- Nice!- You can easily assume,that it's just a Game Boy pocket, right?It's very similar.This is only able toplay original Game Boys.So not Game Boy Color or Advance.So it's a little too bright in here.Can we go ahead andkill the lights please?It is incredibly dim,but you can actually use this in the dark.Is it good?I don't think so.I'm so happy I haven'thad a Game Boy Light,in like almost 10 years, so.What should we do next?What's this?Oh.- Pokemon cards?- What?No.- It kind of smells like,like Tide because I thinksomeone's doing laundry,with the money in this company.- Are you trying to insinuate that I am...- You are using the,you embezzle the companymoney to furnish your-- No, no, no-- Pokemon card collection?- No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.- FBI, open up!- This is a Final FantasyWonderSwan still in the box.Now if you just heardthe words Final Fantasy,and WonderSwan and go,"is that like the new Final Fantasy?"- That actually doessound like a Final Fantasy name.- Final Fantasy WonderSwan.I would probably play that.This was actually made by Gunkoi Yopai.- What did he say?- I think that's how you say his name?Basically the originalinventor of the Game Boy.After he made the GameBoy, he left Nintendo,went over to Bandai, andcreated his own ideal console,which was the Wonder Swan.Oh, okay.So maybe a little yellowed on the bot-Okay, so maybe not mint.Now I'm starting to seewhy this was 86 bucks.But the front looks pretty decent,and I am so surprised at how tiny this is.Oh my God, look at the game.That is so cool.You got the art on the back, look at that.That is so cool.It's really interestingto look at this display,because it is an LCDfrom I guess 2000 or so.And when you have the light onit, it's very, very viewable.But watch that move it evenjust a little bit off axis.Look, it just, it's gone, right?Like the view angles are so narrow.I would actually saythis is probably maybe,a little harder to see,like a Game Boy Advancescreen, but not by a lot.Uh-oh, we found dudes.I don't know what I'm doing.This is neat.I will admit I don'thave an enormous amount,of nostalgia for "Final Fantasy."I didn't really play it as a kid,but it is incredibly cool to see a pieceof history like this preservedso well for so cheap.Again, $86, and this console, it is crazy,that we never got this in theUS 'cause it's so nice to use.Yeah, do I wish I had a back lit screen?Absolutely, but it's comfy.The button layout, the dual sortof D-pads actually aren't that bad.Like I am legitimately impressed.This is really nice.Oh, hello there.The TV is back becauseto finish this video off,we have one of the mostridiculous consoles,to ever come out of Japan.I'm just gonna show you,I'm just gonna show you.Behold the PlayStation that we never got.This is the PSX.What, you might ask, is the PSX?Oh, have I got a story for you.Actually, I don't.I've never used a PSX,so I only know a little bit about it.This, if you're not familiar,is actually a PlayStation 2,but not just any PS2.Oh no, this is a PS2that also doubled as essentially a DVR?I think would be thebest way to describe it.So this is only sold in Japan.It has a hard drive built in.It does have a slot loading disc drive,which I will say this oneactually looks pretty rough'cause all the foam iskind of falling apart.We've got quit game,we've got power, eject.- Oh, you're notdone with the front my friend.- Where'd I miss the front? (gasps)(Austin laughs)Oh, memory card slots.Of course, we've also gotall your directional buttons,for the interface we've got.Is that FireWire?- Yeah, buddy. (laughs)- Wow, there isa veritable cornucopia,of ports on the back of this thing.So you've got your two gamecontroller slots, which yes,you plug into the back of the PSX.So this came out in 2005,for the price of almost 900 USdollars, which is outrageous.Now keep in mind that this is oneof the last models of the PSX,which is why it has someof the additional ports.But we paid a mere 170 bucks for it,which to be fair is still a lot of money.But for such a weird novelty,we again, got prettymuch the cheapest PSX,that we could find from Japan.So it is missing everything.It doesn't have the original controller,which had a longer cable,'cause you had to plug it in the back.It didn't have the remote,it didn't have anything.It also very well might notwork without that adapter.So a lot of questions.(crickets chirp)- Oh, I got it!- Oh!- I fixed it, I'm a genius!Now this probably looks,like a very familiarinterface because it is.This was what they ran on the PS3,for many years, on the PSP, in my opinion,still my favorite Sonymenu system they ever had.But they actually got it started,all the way back on the PSX.They've got music onhere, MP3's on my PS2.(upbeat music)- Oh, let's go.- This is the way I feel whenI use my PSX and it works.- You could burn DVDs,from like the shows that you recorded.- Wait, wait, wait.Okay, so I'm just wrappingmy head around this.So I could hook up, say mycable box or my camcorder,burn my recordings to the hard drive,and then put a DVD in hereand then make DVDs out of it.That's so wild.The PS3 was never able to burn discs.All that being said, that'sreally the cool part,but it is still a full PS2.I believe that this was region locked,which is why we've got "Auto Modellista."- Yes!- Ken basically told methat I had to get this game.- Yeah, man, it's one of the greatestracing games of all time.Don't you know?- Well, I know that thisgame must be popular,because it was plentiful and dirt cheap.I believe this cost me like eight bucks,including Sendico's fee.I think it was like 500 yen.Obviously there's a lot of thoughts,when it comes to ordering from Sendico.The big one is you need to,to make it worth it, spendsome good money, right?Because you've gotta considerthat every item you buy,you have to pay the500 yen processing fee.And most importantly,you've gotta spend a goodchunk of money shipping your items.So if you're gonna buy stuff from Sendico,it makes sense to get a lot.And I'll tell you that thisPSX is massively heavy.I wouldn't be surprised ifthis PSX just by weight,alone was probably like 80bucks of our shipping costs.Give a try, I'm gonna put this in.We're gonna do it all aesthetic.Everyone ready?Okay, okay.You know, that was,I thought that was gonnalook a little cooler,I'll be honest with you.Let's try it one more time.There we go!Just need a little bit of encouragement.You know, we all do sometimes in life.Let's see if the disc driveactually wants to work.(PSX rattling)Uh-oh, we've angered it.So yes, our PSX needs a little bitof TLC, but this is still really fun,to get all this Japanese mystery tech.Now, the shipping was expensive.Our entire box ended up costing $184.Mind you, if we were okay waiting,a few weeks instead of a few days,we could have saved alittle bit of money on that.But especially when youget these big heavy items,it just costs money.That being said, it wasstill a whole lot cheaper,than buying this stuff locally on eBay.And I gotta say, staytuned because this is notthe last time we're buyingJapanese mystery tech.
