I've been looking at some stuff on jungle-scs.co.jp, and I'm confused. Some things seem suspiciously under-priced, do they sell used stuff? Are they an auction site? Is their shipping extravagant to cover the lower item costs? Are they just a complete scam? I'm curious.

Usually when I check out a website I go to their Facebook page to check out the reactions from customers, they seem good so far, even have quite a nice looking shop front.
Going through their shipping options, nothing looks out of place, kinda thinking this shop might just be selling at normal retail prices. Like I can't see any notable inflation of prices, even the complete selections look appropriately priced. Could be a sorta mandarake type of deal, I noticed they actually grade the items, so they may get new and second hand stuff in. (Also man it's shop front really reminds me of the otaku shop in akibaranger) EDIT: oop I say that they don't inflate prices, some figuarts are a bit pricey.

Jungle is a second-hand store like Mandarake (obviously, some items they sell can still be new). The only flaw I'm aware of with them is that they charge some fee on top of the figure cost and shipping. Why they have a handling fee is beyond me, and unlike Mandarake it gets charged regardless of how much you're buying. Simply keep in mind your final total is a little higher than the item's cost and you'll be fine. Since they're not as popular as Mandarake, you'll sometimes find things in-stock there you might not otherwise. Always great to know a variety of online stores!

There's stuff you'll find for cheap but don't expect like Mandarake low kinda prices on somethings. They're pretty good and I'd recommend using them.

I use them almost just as often as Mandarake, so I highly recommend them.
The above poster says they don't have as low prices as Mandarake but that's untrue. They similarly discount opened items. For example, got a Dekabase Robo for $17 because of a single misapplied sticker and a TimeRobo w/ a free Time Flyer for $40. Right now I'm weighing up the shipping costs of a Bull Taurus for $13. |

ive used them for years, bloody quick service, plenty of insanely cheap stuff and much easier to navigate than mandarake, they charge a 500Y fee same as Mandarake do.
I got a ton of hard to find sentai mecha from there over the years and a lot of my figuarts |

Perfectly legit from my experience. I ordered Ryuga and Scissors off of them before and got them after a week.
