Persona 5 OST - Навчання та стиль
Few things worth mentioning for anyone looking into this:
1. Do not buy things that you cannot legit check/get legit checked, there are a good amount of fakes, you will not be able to get your money back if you buy something fake unless you open a PayPal claim which will get you banned from buying in the future.
2. Some sellers will use other accounts to bid items up to your top bid and then once their other account beats you they will delete the top bid from their seller account so you automatically buy it for the highest amount you bid. Be careful if you're in a bidding war not to go over what your max bid was getting caught in the moment, there's a chance it's the seller baiting you into bidding more using other accounts.
Those are the things I wish someone told me before I got scammed $600 for some fake t shirts while drunk bidding against the sellers fake accounts.. lol
sage wisdoms right here, my friend
You don't really have recourse against buyee if there's a problem, however you can't use most of these sites directly from overseas. Ah, shill bidding. I see you've had experience with ebay. Just do "buy now." You could also try a program which bids at the last moment for you. Likely the shill bidder is doing the same though. That's why the item is pulled sometimes; they accidentally outbid the real buyers.
I just had this happen. I was already kinda suspicious with some of the bidsI had, but THIS ONE literally I got outbid and I didn't even really want it like that so I was like meh. woke up and somehow I won lmao
Also yea the fake thing gotta be careful but they charge this bs 500 yen fee to check and I kinda doubt THEY even do anything. Some platforms like superbuy will even take free photos for you with measurements, easy return processes as well. Buyee the app is definietly not the best functioning app there is...lots of loopholes to jump through.
Keep the banana joke going!🍌🍌🍌
Gonna slowly start adding Donkey Kong references to every video 🍌
Buyee honestly has expensive rates. For anyone willing to put up with slightly more effort, Tenshi Shop and ZenMarket are cheaper. I'd only recommend Buyee during their bigger promos like the ones for 11.11 and Black Friday.
Zenmarket is my go-to, got a Kapital backpack for $280 shipped a bit ago.
Reggie and yourself are the two fashion bloggers I have watched the most over the years so it was great to see you guys work together again. I also enjoyed the one with Christian the other week. Johnny Thai would be a good team up too.
I have never learned anything from a Johnny Thai video
Thanks! The man really came through on this one. Would be up for doing something with Johnny too - who knows!
@@ringotheflamingo6900 good for you.
@@ringotheflamingo6900 harsh but he does make stuff for beginners - great presentation though lol
JesseOGN . Also Not So Blonde. Reggie is cool too.
Bought a cropped velvet bomber jacket from Japan 2 weeks ago for a steal lol. Buying from Japan is awesome. Shipping can be killer but if you keep and eye for steals and buy multiple items it helps to reduce the impact somewhat
I never would have found out about the Nike x Gundam collab and those are probably the coolest shoes I've ever seen. The only pair I think I'd consider dishing out for. I appreciate you highlighting them!
As someone who is a TNF addict, I have known about the purple label for quite some time but did not think I could buy it outside of Japan. I'm going to Japan next week anyway so this was great to learn more about. Thanks for the amazing video and shoutout to Reggie!
Whoa, this is super informative! I really appreciate the time and effort you put into this - it’s amazing to learn about stuff beyond one’s own borders.
You've really gotten me to think more strategically about the clothes I wear. I'm not like 100% techwear all the time. I love the stuff can't afford a lot of it but really your content is great and it's given me a lot confidence with your advice. Anyway picked up a nike x acronym Jacket and some cargos from 686. Excited to be the most functionally dressed guy in my library.
oh wow I forgot about you lmao
I love the videos that you released in the last 12 months. I've been really enjoying your rants about various things and these cool little projects with Buyee and such.
Thanks so much! Really appreciate it
Amazing to see how far your content has evolved, dude!
Wasn't sure when I saw the thumbnail if I'm gonna watch this one but it was well worth it.
Love the feature with The Casual and build up to the Arc jacket, keep it up!
Thanks very much! Haha I can appreciate that, been experimenting with different thumbnails and such recently to see what works best - not everyone is gonna like everything
Bro is absolutely just flexing on us this episode. Did not expect the Beams jacket 😭
This vid was joyful and packed with a lot of segments we've come to love about this channel. Enjoyed the heck out of it. Please rename the vids where the jacket was previously mentioned part one part two etc because seeing you get it in this was tv series finale levels of satisfying.
Love the dynamic in this video! Very well put together 👍🏻
As a long time watcher of this channel and a huge gunpla nerd with a display room full of them. Welcome Antwon to the best wallet killer hobby you can find.
I’m glad you did this.
Been subscribed for a long time and while I’m not a techwear fanatic that one video you did about Taobao single handedly raised my wardrobe level.
There are so many AMAZING independent designers small brands in China and South Korea that are leading the way for menswear and simulacra.
And their colour theory 😭😭 yooo 👌🏾
Great collab too haven’t checked a reggie vid in a while, let me change that.
Nice Pickups! 😯 And Another Dope Collab! Can't Wait To See When You'll Work On That Cool Gundam Model! 😁
Been watching both channels for a while. Dope crossover!👏🏻
nice to see you collab with Reggie again! Japan exclusive stuff is always a treat. On a side note, is the Mizuno Wave Mujin TL Review gonna come out ?
...I like how you're instructing people how to order reps without blatantly saying "this is how you order reps"
Love that Arcteryx X Beams jacket. Looks amazing! Great video!
As soon as I saw that arcteryx shell, my first thought was using the snowpeak layer as a liner, great minds think a like XD what a fantastic video, would love to see more collabs
If anyone is looking for different JP shops; I definitely recommend places like Hardcore Chocolate and COEN!
Nice video about Buyee, I have been using them for over a decade now for picking up Japanese fashion.
A big point you may have missed (Have not watched the earlier video yet) is that Japanese sizes tend to be a bit smaller than western sizes or at least a little shorter if that makes sense. So if you are an XL in the west you may be wanting to grab a 2xl.
I also think it might be worth you personally exploring the world of military replica clothing from the likes of buzz rickson and real mccoys (or cheaper options like Houston). Military clothing after all is the original tech wear being highly over engineered for durability. Japan also geeks out about certain aspects of Americana and there are somethings you can get today in Japan that are made in the USA but not sold to the USA market. A good example of this is some of the heritage lines of red wing boots again not exactly modern techwear but very well made utilitarian shoes for sure.
There’s a Gundam Uniqlo collection here in Australia now. Only a few tees in the collection though.
Finally! Epic collab. More please!
Yes! A collab between 2 channels I love!!! Would love some tips, somehow, somewhere, some time later, about Plus size brands (i.e. standard XL sizing lol), and girl brands options!
I hope you never change the background music of your videos. It is an integral part of the channel's aesthetic, vibe, feel, swagger and atmosphere. Voilà. Just that note.
Have a nice day
Loved the video dude, I'm currently sitting with a few things in my Buyee cart atm but after doing the estimated shipping I was getting quoted something ridiculous like £650, you never actually mentioned how much your shipping came to in the video other than having to pay a hefty fee at customs ... Would you be able to give a rough breakdown of the shipping cost for your package, box dimensions, weight, courier method, etc?
I think I was in that bidding war for the beams jacket. 😩 found one cheaper after losing a few weeks after 🙂👍🏼
That's really awesome that you're getting into gunplay and I feel you on that backlog lol😅. It's just so addictive to buy more
Haha for real, why is it so much easier to buy them than build them!?
nice collaboration& good to see reggie
actually did an interview on tv for buyee, good people good service.
maybe kinda sucky you have to pay to combine parcels if you wanna send it all in 1 go but yaknow this what it is
Great video! If possible I’d like to see some maybe something similar but for Korean clothing markets?
I've got a wide frame and i'm 190cm myself so I'd have to fight hard to find something that'd actually fit me on the Japanese market, but this is an amazing video that wants me to give it a shot. I appreciate you going after pieces you just liked, and not a lot that was particular huge brand stuff. Awesome tutorial, awesome looks man.
Thanks very much! I did see a few XL pieces floating around, but it's far more common on tees/jackets etc. than pants.
The gunpla is the highlight for me. I have 30+ gunpla in NG, RG, HG, MG, PG, and even 1980s kits. I HAVE TO HAVE THOSE GUNPLAS lol
FINALLY, I'VE BEEN WAITING AGES FOR THAT DOSE OF ANT
Love to see this, hope you two do future collabs together!
Very nice collab! Loved the video
Thanks so much!
I got the Zaku here in the US. Also, the SB Dunk Gunpla was here in the US too
Oh nice! I've never seen them over here so thought they were exclusive. Glad they had a bit of a wider release
bug net jacket zipped all the way up + sunglasses looks hard af ngl
I love the Persona 5 music you slipped in the background
Crazy u guys collabed !
at what pricing point do you think that it is worth buying some clothes out of japan? love that acteryx btw❤
Considering I'm in Poland if I see you running here I'll be running as well cause it must be some pretty menacing stuff you're running from if you got from UK to Krakow
Hey man - would you mind telling me where I could get that necklace? (Just need the cord - got my own pendant) :)
Stop giving away my secrets 😤
Man, I missed something like 5 raffles on those gundunks. Had to set up proxy addresses in 3 countries
The Aile Strike reference surprised the hell outta me
Really interesting video!
I am between 6' 1" and 6' 2" (187cm) and weight about 200 lbs. (90kg). I like looser fits. Most of my jackets are XL, for example. Does looking into Japanese brands even make sense or will their biggest siza be to small for me?
It's nice to buy from japan, but shipping for my hoodie was 30 dollars, i got free shipping with a coupon but still had to pay 30 dollars tax for the import
Yeah import tax can be a killer, gotta remember to factor that in when buying stuff. Sometimes ime things can get through but it's not worth relying on that.
Omg i need those gundam in my life now !
my two favorite channels
Loving that intro
Is there a website like buyee but for malesians brands ? I'd like to buy some orbit gear jackets but I can't find them anywhere else their official website
You guys need a seasonal meet-up.
Amazing video, keep it up!
Thanks so much!
Yo this is a great collab son!
What a crossover 👏
9:20
I firmly believe this actually happens and nobody can convince me otherwise
Somewhere there's a postal worker's IG account with infinite drip
The gunplas are my favourite pickups
Do they even make clothes for people that are 6’3”? This is my biggest concern. That things will not be long enough.
I've been playing so much Persona 5 recently I thought the bgm had just been ingrained in my head
I could think of worse soundtracks to your life tbh, pure vibes
The captions, little commentary, won you a subscriber lol.
what mizuno shoes are in the background?
Well now i know two peeps will be at fault when the marketplaces will be sucked as dry as an overaged cow udder for everything over a size medium.
Ps: (don't know if it was mentioned) a Japanese L is not always a international L, some viwers will probably find out the hard way.
PPS: Knowing measurements in japan is key so y'all better buy metric tape measures 😉
You forgot to mention how insanely expensive those shipping services are lol. Also, I'd be very careful of who you're promoting in that space.
what is the shirt you are wearing on ant?
I just want to know what sweatshirt Reggie is wearing 😅
Would have been good to get an idea of how much the service and shipping cost, rather than just the cost of the items.
REGGIE AND ANTOWN
Is that a fw 18 acg jacket?
This was like coming home and finding not just Mila Kunis, but Margot Robbie, in my shower, too!
Nice!
looool that is not a comparison I expected but I'll take it
Can you buy things from japan if you’re 6.3?
REGGIE!!
I died at 10:56 😂
Oh wow, the Persona 5 background music lmao.
02:52 I thought that was Ted Cruise 💀😂
The mizuno evangelion shirt is goin kinda hard
19:09 the vibes…✨immaculate✨
I tried bidding on a Naruto x Libere transforming pants. I won just snipping on bidding and just waiting for it to arrive. I hope i made a rigth choice haha!
Update. It is actually great buying in buyee. I already wore the pants, bought it really cheap and just sniped it and no one is bidding. It also arived exactly the day the event i wanted to wear it. Great experience Ant💪
Thank you!
Woah this crossover!🎉
Iconic duo 🔥
I like the thick T-shirt
Ant you don't know Jollibee damn you need to try some 💯🔥
God damn it. I liked almost everything.
How much fee did you have to pay ? (Cause i'm in France and I'm afraid of its cost)
La même
@@sloopinglevrai4807 genre ça me donne envie, j'ai fait un tour sur le site ya des dingueries mais si faut payer 100€ de livraison jsp
@@aachs5765 mais oui 😭 à chaque fois je vois des trucs incrr mais jsp comment le site fonctionne !
@@sloopinglevrai4807 bah genre y'en a où c'est des enchères et d'autres où c'est des pro
Geez. Keep this info for the gatekeepers 😂
Links for these site would be appreciated 😢.
There's a link at the top of the description to Buyee from which you can click to the various sites (Yahoo.jp, Mercari, ZOZOTOWN etc.)!
@@ThisIsAntwon Ah I see it’s just a collective of sites on one platform gotcha! Once again Antwon your the man!
Aile strike gundam is my favorite youtuber :)
nice video! also early.
Thanks! 🏆🏆🏆
Nobody cares if you’re early
I can't decide if I find Antwon (Atawn Jamison) genuinely funny with dumb intentional corniness or if that persistent ironic cornball persona paradoxically just makes him an actual giant cornball lol
Either way I love him and the channel!! Incredible and consistent resource. I suppose I'm somewhat techwear veteran but more idiot who never considered the utility (ironic?) of UA-cam continue to learn about how to dress like a Shadowrun street samurai. So glad I finally checked out the nerd on r/techwear who took a fit pic with his Animal Crossing wearing matching pink NikeLab ACG jackets
ps katana/cyberware pickup & review when??
omg reggie!
I love watching your videos astrology.
And I love reading nice comments like yours 🤝
oh wow I'm subbd to reggie too
Just spent 230 on sum kid super pants wish I saw this lmao
I got my Beams Salomons last year via Buyee👍 works great. Nice pick ups!
Nice! Love their collabs so excellent choice. Thanks 🙏
Great video but what was not converted was the sizing difference. When you visit a country like japan or Korea it is very difficult to find clothes for specific body shapes. When I lived in in South Korea a lot of my American friend had to buy most of their clothes online because clothes just were not built for their shape. Is shopping from other countries fashion industries a great way to find niche pieces yes of course but with the difference in how things I would be very careful about spending money.
Oh yea South East Asian fashion is so different in sizing. I wear M in all of my US bound clothes, but when it comes to pieces from countries like Vietnam or Japan; you have to size up.
I love Japanese brands but I hate buying from Japan. If you are of smaller stature, have at it. If you are a little bigger, don't waste your time. You'll spend your entire time trying to find something in your size, not something you like. I'm a L in US sizing but an XXL or XXXL in some of these brands and good luck finding a seller with your taste that also wears that size...
Hey what's up this is automaton here
