I have never used a Deputy service before, so I 
have no base of reference to judge how good any 
service is.

However, I came close a few times and considered 
this service, Anime & Comic Japan,

"http://www.fromnippon.com/anime/index.html"

They do charge a 20% commission on the total cost 
of the transaction (cost of product, cost of 
shipping from seller to ACJ, cost of shipping 
from ACJ to you, bank transfer fees, etc.).  From 
what I have read of CelGa's pricing, this still 
might be cheaper than CelGa (although I never 
used CelGa before, either).

They also can place bids for you on Yahoo! Japan 
auctions.  Same rules apply.

WARNING, though.  You must e-mail ACJ at least 
one week before the sale of your desired item 
ends.  And your e-mail must detail a definite 
commitment to purchase your desired item (include 
your name, address, maximum price, etc.).  Their 
response time can be slow.

Furthermore, you should send both an e-mail PLUS 
fill out and submit their electronic order form 
from their web site.  You will have to do this 
eventually, anyway, because they will require 
your credit card information.

Do I recommend ACJ?  Since I never ordered 
through them, I cannot say and I make no 
guarantees.  But they are legitimate, as far I 
can tell.

Normally, I wouldn't bother mentioning ACJ, but 
it seems like some of you are in dire need of a 
middle-man.

Hope this information will be useful to you.
