Kind-of everywhere? I just got a BBTS notification that my Faiz preorder was in. Picked up Genm from AmiAmi a couple weeks ago. Picked up a Faiz a few weeks back from a HLJ sale that's sitting in my... Private... Warehouse...

Well, shit. Now I've got to get a refund on that BBTS Faiz. Thanks for reminding me!

You got Genm... from AmiAmi. When!? How!?

They had a preowned one just sitting in their shop. I was getting an order shipped out and tossed it on. 3780 yen? Early June?

Worth checking their in-stock and preowned sections, I guess!

Yeah, on Die's suggestion I went to have a look at AmiAmi's pre-owned section and they have a surprisingly good selection at times. Lots of P-Bandai stuff

I just keep having bad experiences with Amiami so I'm a little hesitant to continue ordering from them.

Not sure I'd want a pre-owned model kit. I don't feel like risking botched stickers or bad sprue marks.

Preowned in this case (because I was worried too!) just meant that someone bought it, never put it together, and resold it. All of the runners were in their sealed bags. Nothing had been opened inside the box. It was basically brand-new.

Ahh, well that’s good. How much did you pay for it shipping included? Could you please do pics of him and Ex-Aid? Also, are all AmiAmi pre-owned open packaging with sealed contents?
EDIT: didn’t read you mentioning the price.

Japan has a bit of a different concept of "pre-owned". It applies to anything in which you aren't the "first owner".

Because people like to keep the packaging in tact for a lot of goods, any damage whatsoever can turn something to a "pre-owned" good. I bought a figure from Yahoo auctions that was 50% off retail because it had some rips and dents on the box (the figure itself was perfectly fine). You may have even noticed on some higher end Kamen Rider stuff (namely P-Bandai and CSM releases) that packaging comes with markings saying that the outer box is for protection only and will not be replaced due to damage.

A model kit with the inner bag opened with rarely if ever be considered re-salable, and stores won't take them. If the inner bag is opened, the item is more likely to be labeled and sold "as-is or junk".

Specifically for AmiAmi, they use a rating system for pre-owned items:

-Condition Rank of the products.

A: Item is sealed and is unopened or appears to be unopened.
A-: Item is not sealed but appears to be unopened.
B+: Item has been opened but no damage is visible. All bundled items are included.
B: Item has been opened and minor dirt or damage is visible. All bundled items are included.
C: Opened item with conspicuous damage. Sub parts may be missing.
J: Main item or main parts are missing, severely damaged, and/or having problem with operation.

-Condition Ranking for Package

A: No damage to the box is visible.
B: Some damage to the box is visible.
C: Box is clearly damaged.
N: No box/packaging is included. (item is loose)

Check the listed rank to determine if something like the seal was opened or not.
