Which is why I said I would NOT recommend Rinkya 
for inexpensive items.  I doubt that the fee 
structure will decrease over time because, not 
only did it cost them alot to build this system, 
it is also going to cost alot to maintain it.

Secondly, I totally respect others opinions that 
my be different from mine.  I completely agree 
that Rinkya's fees are too high, and don't think 
anyone should pay Upwards of $60 for and $8 item. 
But I was just trying to explain the reasoning 
behind it to those who may not understand why 
they are so high.  

Snotty comments such as "I'd rather buy Enron 
Stock" are rather rude, offer no constructive 
critisicm, and only serve to aggrivate the 
awesome people who worked super hard to provide 
this service!  I just don't think it's very wise 
to insult people for trying to do a super nice 
thing for our little cel community.  If a person 
doesn't like the fees, then they can go 
elsewhere.  There are plenty of other cheaper 
Deputy Services out there for small ticket 
items.  Rinkya is simply a service for customers 
who want to be in total control of their bids, 
and are willing to pay for that convenience.  ^_^

Unfortunately the only way to avoid fees and 
comissions is to make friends with someone in 
Japan!  *hehehehe*  Maybe we should start 
providing a "Yahoo Japan Bidding Buddy" service!  
^_^  I think that might be more successful in the 
long run!

So in summation, I didn't mean to step on any 
toes.... I just didn't want this to turn into a 
Rinkya bashing thread, so I thought I'd say some 
kind words.

Thanks for listening!
