Yeah I read this
ZyuRanger Dragon Buckler Loose, comes with morpher, holster and 3 coins. One coin is a casting of the actual coin that came with the toy. The other 2 are fan sculpts of the coin. all fit in the morpher.

The holster and Buckler are official, but as pointed out, the coins aren't.
Yeah, thats a shame. I might bet on this...

Um, unless I missed something, TWO coins are casts of the actual coin, and one is a sculpt. Only difference is, one cast is not as good as the other.

Sorry for the confusion.
I got a DragonBuckler but it came without a coin. I'm including in the auction one of Jess's, Buzz's and a recast of the toy DragonCoin(it's in the morpher). The toy recast coin is wither Argus or Outatime (can't remember who I got it from). The buckler was missing the 5 colorstripe stickers and the black bolts were painted in. Hope this clears things up.

Leman, just a little piece of advice, you have not mentioned the bolts being painted on in the auction description. This means some bidders may not be aware and will be annoyed when they receive it to find that the bolts are not the original stickers.
If I were you, I'd add it to the description, its better than facing a disgruntled buyer afterwards.
Krycek7o2
11-07-2007, 09:13 AM
Yeah, I would have been very mad with this. Just add that description on. Guess, I'm gonna have to cancel my bid.

why dont ship worldwide?
i hate when the people dont ship worldwide.. :mad:
!!!!
damn...
please accepet international buyers also.. open it to ship to brazil i beg you!
i want to buy this one!
(if you accept, please look some cheaper shipping style, i dont know why, but when the things is from us, the ship is about 40 ~ 50 usd for come here.. and things by airl mail form hong kong or japan use do be cheaper...
looks like this price usps is like express.. but if will accept please look for the same like "air mail" it could be cheaper...
i give up a lot of times for buy things from us because the high cost of the shipping, like this day i saw a changer for around 20 usd, but the ship was aroung 50.. so i give up.. since hong kong and japan things i payd around 30 for ems... or less from hong kong air mail..
and almost every time when the seller is from us just ship do canada and us.. i dont know why
and when i ask, they dont want..
i just dont get it, i dont undersand the reason...
and some us seller use to make high prices for sell worldwide, i dont know why

I can't speak for everyone, but I know for myself it's a LOT easier to ship to just the United States and I'll tell you why. Sitting at home, I can use paypal to print out my own labels, but a lot of the time I need to send things in boxes with packing materials if I'm going to ship overseas. If I'm shipping to the US I can just use an envelope and pay like $3 for shipping. If I'm going to ship overseas, I actually have to go down to the postal center, buy a BOX, pack it with materials and end up paying like $10-$15 for shipping. It's just more effort. I'll give you an example
Someone bought $75 worth of Kryptonite off of me. It was 2 large crystal clusters, one meteor rock and 3 of the smaller crystals I have. The total weight with EVERYTHING, including packing was 4 pounds. It cost me $9 to ship to the person and they lived in the united states. That's a great deal.
However, the same day i was shipping ONE morpher and ONE power coin to someone who lived in the UK and the cost was $9.30! It cost more to ship one small morpher and one coin to the UK than it did to send 4 POUNDS of Kryptonite replicas to someone in the United States.

International shipping from the US *is* expensive. I just got inquired the other day about something going to England, and the cheapest good rate I could get for it was $24, via USPS. The next increment down was only a few dollars cheaper and you had no guarantee when (or presumably if) it would arrive. Maybe our country's post office is purposely inflating the cost to ship overseas?
Outatime
11-07-2007, 12:36 PM
I have no clue but it's so irritating when people ask me for shipping quotes, bc I honestly have NO clue how much it will be. Even the slightest variance in weight makes the cost increase. I shipped out 2 zeo crystals to noleaf and the cost was $24. I only charged $15 (i think) for shipping. I'm not the type to go and ask for more money once the transaction is dealt with, so that was a loss for me. I just wish I could know exactly what the cost will be without having to take it down to the post office for a quote. insane, I say!

Okay, I added to the description about the black lightning bolts and the sticker stripes. I state in the auction for internatiopnal bidders to email me first. I will generally accept bidders from overseas, I just want to be aware so I can figure out the postage costs and make sure they know it will cost more to ship. I just had a request for shipping to Italy. I said it would probably be around $25.00. If you don't ask, you'll never know when someone might say yes.

well.. but why care about the cost? the buyer will have to pay it anyway...
when i buy something i already think in the shipping cost, i use to buy from japan and hk, that is very far away than US, the people sell whit no problem, and it use to be around 10 ~ 30 usd... (10 somethings of hong kong, in airmail, 30 is something like power brace from flip dude.. or 35, dont remember.. anyway its around that)
and...
why the United Statesīs post is so expansive?
nternational shipping from the US *is* expensive. I just got inquired the other day about something going to England, and the cheapest good rate I could get for it was $24, via USPS.
if you see the shipping cost for send something like a gekichanger for brazil, you will see that usps price is around 40 ~ 50 usd, and japanīs EMS is around 30 usd..
i just dont understand, why cost more than shipping from the more far away country.. (japan)
The next increment down was only a few dollars cheaper and you had no guarantee when (or presumably if) it would arrive. Maybe our country's post office is purposely inflating the cost to ship overseas?
well.. make some preview.. ok.. but the buyer just cant make the seller guarantee nothing..
when i for example want to know the time that it takes, is an preview of the service, that isnot under the seller powers.. so is just some info about the service, because different countries have different kind of services... hkīs air mail once comes in 4 day, and about a week in the customīs hand, in the second time comes on 12 days.. more a month in the customīs hand..
i knwo that air mail of hk is good.. but japan is better to use EMS, i receive the power brace from flip dude in about one week.. or less.. a friend received an cd from cd japan and received by ems in about 4~5 days..
well is just espect... isnot sure the time...
i never received anything from US yet.. due the high cost.. and i dont buy PR toys, just Sentai toys, but a costumer here wan a power morpher (he dont want to pay high for bucklers, neither like sentai so much...) and maybe i will buy one for sell for him..
-----
anyway, iīm very interesed on this dragon buckler, since is an auction its posible to get for a good price.. isnot on the box.. but anyway, is a dragon buckler.. who cares for the box.. is very rare to see one..

I suppose First Class International (I think that's what our post office calls the lowest level of overseas service) is roughly equivalent to SAL, except the post office will not even estimate the number of days delivery may take. Global Priority is like Registered Airmail, where it's 6-10 days. But either way the equivalent cost is higher out of the US than in to the country. I sometimes wonder if it could even be a matter of it simply being more common to send things overseas out of Japan, Hong Kong and mainland China, so they have the resources more readily available and can cut the cost. I'm sure there's a number of factors none of us consider that determine the rates in a particular place.
As far as Outatime's particular issue, if you do a fair quantity of mailing and get more than just the occasional overseas request, you might look into getting a 3-5 pound capacity food scale. They're usually cheaper than the real postal scales, and the weight limit is unimportant since few people will want to pay what it really costs to have something heavier than five pounds shipped out of the country. I've done enough where I have the experience to estimate pretty accurately the weight of the stuff I sell and have never accidentally undercharged for shipping, even on the rare overseas incident.
Anyhow, I can tell you from my own research that between one and two pounds of package will cost about $24 to ship to England, so your Dragon Buckler shipping estimate is likely spot on. And if you use the post office website's shipping calculator, remember that the weight in ounces is usually irrelevant - just go ahead and round up to the next pound since the cost is almost always calculated that way anyway. Unless you have a scale and know the precise weight anyway, that is. :)

It is. And the other two coins are casted from the actual toy, so I don't know why he said two of the coins are sculpted by a fan. Probably because the other cast is not as good.

Somewhat off topic, but still relevant, I actually feel so sorry for Dragon Bucklers. They are so rare, so hard to come by, and as such worth so much money, that as soon as someone gets it, its placed on a shelf, for admiration only. Often, there never even removed from their boxes, and the sad thing is, as soon as the owner comes into financial difficulties, they find themselves straight on ebay.
Its like, being a rare item actually means, your unlikely to ever be in a collection long term, its more like you will be passed from owner to owner, and I find that so sad.

You know, the same will happen for Dino Bucklers. But this didn't go as high as it could of on a count of it not having the original coin. Having that would of probably added a good $100 to it. Oh well, just don't leave it on the your computer table like I do with my Power Morpher LOL.

I've never understood the demand for the Dragon Buckler. It doesn't really do anything. lol
I think morphers like the Uzaphone and Accellular are far cooler. haha.
I bought my nephew, Reddragonstarking,a Dragon Buckler off Yahoo! Japan 2years ago for $300.00.
His Dragon Buckler is in great working shape, with the original box and all the coins. The only things missing are the five color stickers that go on the back, but I think he may have gotten some. I also bought him some coins from Buzz.
At any rate, he uses his KR Faiz Driver/belt and Accellular the most. Probably in the bathroom with the door shut. haha.
Anyway, congrats to the winner of this auction! Have fun with your new morpher!

It would be disgraceful to attempt to mod a BOJ Dino Buckler to a dragon buckler when a standard BOA MMPR Power Morpher can be converted just as easily!
aswell as disgraceful, it'd be bloody stupid!
The only the advantage I can see is keeping the BOJ stickers, but if you modded the unit without damaging the stickers at all, then your a superior human to me!
