No, Carlos - though I lived in Japan for two years, and used to speak =
and read it reasonably well, I've lost all that over the years. I can =
only go by the photographs and prices. But, if I see one I'm really =
excited about, I'll have one of my Japanese friends check it out for me =
over there.

  Since the site is in Japanese, what is your process for translating? =
I ran it through the altavista Babel Fish Translation tool which you =
sent out a while back but only got garbage out. =
http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/tr. Do you read Japanese?

you could get around that latter qualification.
