I believe Adol's collection has since been acquired by the Strong Museum of Play in Rochester.

I used to walk about 50 meters to the conbini to do domestic shipping.

Last "debate" I recall was on Assembler, was one here I advocated a well-picked collection is far more impressive, and one of them argued (ad naseum) that a complete collection (IE, the entire catalogue) is better b/c it's well-picked and has everything else.

The whole "seller does not ship internationally" craze was basically fueled by Adol. His (their) profile literally said, "shipping internationally is easy". They basically ignored the fuck out of it and bid on every rare PC-Engine, Saturn, and FC game around. It didn't help that they listed everything at a huge premium on Ebay. Their feedback had a lot of ticks, but it was roughly 50%. Wish I remembered the account. I'm sure it's deleted by now. That story comes up ever few years I think. It sucked b/c they made the handful of foreigners on YJ (and there were very few of us) look bad.

If the seller is like "sigh, fine, I'll ship to France", then he sends cold hard cash. Again, I might be mistaken, maybe someone else said this, not him, so apologies if I'm wrong.
It's not active anymore (and hasn't been for a long time). Given up Y!J for good?
