Japan hook-ups are becoming more and more difficult, and with e-framebank shutting doors (they want to keep the frame "indigenous") to foreign inquiries, it will only get harder. RELoad, Stratton (eBayer), and maybe other random sellers will have any sort of product to offer for the time being. Kind of sucks too, but thems the breaks.
As far as price - yes, but I put a little away in order to get what I wanted instead of a dented/stressed/whatevered used frame. I still wouldn't mind another one, on the cheap of course.
