trott3r Posted March 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 There are no official Onkyo Hi-MD deck dealers outside of Japan, with the exception of whetzky and fromjpnpro eBay shops and AudioCubes2. PriceJapan is also a solution to acquire one.I have found the Onkyo MD-133(S)on both pricejapan and audiocubes2.comThey both look like they would ship to the UK.Do you have recommendations or used any of these before?thanks for your helpMartin N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain_ Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 I bought my Onkyo MD-133 from pricejapan using moneybookers.com. Interesting price considering the currency rates between Euro and Japanese Yen at that time. Fast delivery and excellent communication. I had to pay customs duty though.

Kain_ Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Any reason to use moneybookers rather than pay pricejapan.com directly?It's was a bit easier and faster for me. I have to stop by my bank office to make international payement. And I didn't had the time to do so. That's why I used Moneybookers. BTW, Moneybookers fees are lower than paypal's one.
