There are a couple things I'm considering clicking on one. But I'm wary. They look to be new from "shops" in Japan, not individuals.

A little update for everyone... There is a custom duty when importing from Japan. I just found out! Guess how I know...
Japan and the USA do not have a "free trade" agreement. Imported Acoustic Guitar is classified as 9207.90.0080 which has a 5% duty rate. You will likely be receiving an invoice depending on how the shipper classified your guitar.
