Go for it


here's a helpful resource: http://wiki.worldbeyblade.org/index.php/Beyblade_Price_Reference_List

Note: people on ebay will very possibly laugh at that list, since many are out there to make stacks of cash and aren't interested in intrinsic value

I wish...
It's $80 a piece, and he has 3.
His eBay name is worldofbeys and he said he'd give me a 6% discount off as a WBO member.

Thanks for the help guys! I won't make anymore stupid impulse buys!
The WBO is a really useful forum.
I don't know Japanese; so how exactly can I buy from Yahoo Auctions? Also, is it run through Paypal?

You would need a middle man to do YJA. You should ask OkinawamTS about it.

But while you are at Yahoo! Japan Auctions, buy other things and it becomes a lot more worthwhile. Also, not all middleman fees are 900 yen, and I only had one case of one item costing double because of extra fees.

EDIT : By the way, all prices in the Beyblade Price Reference List do not include shipping. So, if a seller wants to sell a Wolborg MS forty dollars plus forty dollars shipping, that is OK. However, when sellers write that shipping is free, obviously the item itself is not worth the overall price and shipping does not cost them nothing, so you have to wonder if you are OK with forty dollars of shipping.


Anyway, NeoFantom, I made a thread about how to use Yahoo! Japan Auctions in the Bey Marketplace forum. It is rather simple, so as long as you have Paypal, it works like a charm.

I will keep Buyee in mind!
I do think I'll use eBay as well; there's a pretty good used lot.

Beywiki Wrote:The ABS Caul of Samurai Upper contains many notches and protrusions that give it Smash Attack ability which was not present in Circle Upper. In addition, the heavier weight and higher amount of plastic to absorb shock from hits contributes to its Defense ability. The sacrifice is that it has less Survival ability, but considering that Circle Upper was generally used for Attack-types, this is not seen as much of a drawback. For Survival-type combos, Circle Upper is still a better choice.

A quick visit to Beywiki would have answered that question.

Thanks! But if the part isn't available, is Circle Upper viable?

Absolutely, Circle Upper is still a top-tier part, it just has a successor :p

Great. Would there still be any chance of beating its successor part?

Actually Circle Upper is preferred over Wolf Crusher for Bearing Core combos because it provides some offensive capabilities with no significant drop in Stamina.

Was that meant to confirm my point or refute it?
