1/5

posted Apr-21-2012

I used to like this site. I wasted so much money on things I thought were great. However, I realized the hard way just how much I wasted. The only thing I didn't like at the time was that the owner, Peter Payne, was braggy, a narc and acted like he was better than others simply because he is a president of a company. However, after being fortunate enough to go to Japan myself, I realized just how much he was overcharging people for stuff that you can get if you look hard enough. The slap in the face was when I check one of the prices for a book. 60 dollars on Jlist. Not too bad if you want it enough right? Well just the other day I saw the same item in a bookstore, for....20 dollars, or roughly 1500 yen. seriously? And this isn't just for one item, but many which are marked up extremely high. The last insult was a banana container for 8 dollars on the shop, 100 yen in Japan. I swore off of jlist after this because I realized that this site is ripping people off at such a crazy amount. Save your money, and even if you may not have the chance to go to Japan, I have seen many import shops that have the same exact items at a much lower price.Not to mention they are scamming people with the shipping prices. 12.50 in shipping for that candy? Yeah, right. you could get that shiped through another company for 4.50.
