Anime-Beta TNG

what's a sequence mate?

welp the auction has come and past and the final price ended up at 69,000 yen after 73 bids

yeah....there was no way i was gonna get it even if i tried

well the bid just went up to 12,000 yen so i'm gonna have to pass on this unfortunately

thank you all for the advice; here's to next time!

I use PayPal to pay the registration fees and it is instantaneous. If you have your PayPal account linked to Mandarake, it'll take you to the PayPal page once you've selected to pay the 500 yen participation fee. I would recommend paying that route. It's a lot easier than trying to pay with a credi...

okay so im having trouble with the fees

they haven't been posted onto my account yet and someone i know said that it's supposed to be instant

i sent an email to Mandarake support and i haven't gotten a response yet

if i don't get this processed in time i'm screwed

oh so it is at 4 am....goddammit unforntunately i'm gonna have to pass on this; 4 am is too early for me plus its on a Thursday and I have horse riding lessons on Mondays and Fridays i'm not even gonna put in an absentee bid; there's 20 people watching the item and there's probably at least 1 person...

My advice for bidding on the Mandarake BWA is... don't post your max bid here. 8O Most of your competition is going to stop by this forum, and now they know what to bid to outbid you. The only time this might work for you is when you post some insane number, and that might scare off some competitio...

okay so i looked up the schedule and the genga goes up for auction on the 5th on window A sometime after 10pm my time (22:00)


how long does the bidding on an item last usually? as i said i'm totally new to mandarake and i don't want to auction sit one specific item for hours

what does that mean? wait for when the auction goes live on the BWA?

so this Naruto genga has caught my eye https://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/auction/item/itemInfoEn.html?index=681668 i'm tempted to put in an absentee bid but A: i don't know how much to put in (tentively) and B: i've never used Mandarake before a part of me is saying to go for it but another part is sayi...

right, right

i keep forgetting that NFTs are a thing now :/

I meant a digital scan


by the way, are there any Discord servers that could help me in my quest?

Hello! I'm currently searching for the storyboard of Naruto episode 28 (pre Shippuden), the Holy Grail for my budding collection. I prefer a scan but a physical copy will also suffice! i'm also looking for physical copies of the Japanese AR scripts for the second Naruto movie namely the parts that c...
