I'm
thinking about making a purchase from Guy Antique Gallery in Japan;
however, I wanted to get some feedback regarding the reliablity of this
business. So if anyone has purchased anything from Moktar and Guy
Antique Gallery, I'd like to hear about your experiences with them.
Thanks in advance.

I
have purchased many robots over the years from Moktar, some of which
were very expensive, and have always been happy. Great service, and
total professionalism. He's one of the few dealers I buy from
sight-unseen if I get a call. |

Hi
Pacobird,
I've also purchased two robots from Moktar. His prices are a little
high...but the robots he has are in VERY nice condition. He's serious
and ships very fast...

I've
never bought from him, but I've emailed him a few times about some
robots. He always answered my emails quickly, and I found his prices to
be fair enough. The only reason I haven't bought anything from him is
that he never has anything I want when I have an influx of money... and
when I do have money, someone's already beaten me to the toy that I'd
want! But I guess that's the sign of a successful dealer -- his stock
rotates often.
Good luck, and if you decide to buy, let us know what you get!

Morktar and Sumihiro are totally professional. I have purchased several
very nice robots from them over the years and have always been satisfied
with both the quality of the bots and the service. |

Moktar is one of the best sellers of robots, space toys and Tintin
memorabilia; he can find you almost anything if you have a little
patience; gives you a 100% reliable description, very honest guy....

Yes
- if there would only be one respectable seller out on this earth - this
should be MOKTAR from the GUY ANTIQUE GALLERY. I'm still very happy with
this mint laser robot in near mint box he explored for me the last time.
THANK YOU MOKTAR !!! With this base flattery I should be the candidate
for this biggest discount. . . .
P.S. Hey duxastrogirl . . . very nice to have you here!!! I had made the
decision the other way round - collecting the robot style one first ( .
. . yes I'm also a "tinhead") . . . but then - you know it - theres no
money left for the also very beautiful astronauts . . .

Thanks everyone for your feedback on Guy Antique Gallery in Japan.
Because of your favorable testimonials, I decided to go ahead with my
purchase with them. However, the robot I was originally interested in
was on hold for someone else who didn't show up, and therefore, Moktar
offered it to me. Now, the original guy is planning to go through with
the deal this weekend, so I probably won't be getting it. I guess a
little competition always helps motivate people.
Anyway, they have many other nice items on their site, and now I know
that I can buy with confidence from Guy Antique Gallery. |
