OLIVIA and her band signed the custom guitar from her "Into the Stars" music video while at PMX06. Near the end of the month, PMX will be putting up the guitar for auction, with proceeds going to charitable causes. The official announcement has been posted on the website.

Auction will start July 20, 2007.

Tell us what you think about the guitar.

i think this is wonderful. What an awesome piece to do some charity auctioning on Now...I have a question, and I wasn't sure who to contact regarding this...

For foreign bidders to yahooauctionsjp (ie, US-bidders), it was suggested by you guys to use a proxy/middleman like Rinkya. Now, to avoid costly commissioning fees from them, if I have my own yahooJP account, can I use this to bid in the auction?

1. I dont see any issues with paying, since I have a paypal account, and its stated you guys are accepting paypal.
2. I dont see any issues with shipping, because its stated that international shipping is ok.

-The only issue I am concerned with is that I am unfamiliar with what occurs if the auction is won (im being presumptious because I'm sure there is a lot of interest in the item). Will the transaction be finalized with someone speaking english at that end / will there be any trouble on my end trying to do this myself if I can't read japanese?
