I bought a ysl455g from them. Shipping from Japan was included, and only took a couple of days. The horn wasn't the exact one in the pictures, but I think it was better. Sold as used, but nearly indistinguishable from new. Price was good. I definitely recommend the seller based on this transaction.

@hyperbolica Were there any duty fees associated with the purchase? Seems a fair number of used Yamahas are advertised from Japan

I was not charged any duty on shipment. One time a gov't agency tried to chaege duty on a tube I bought from China, but they thought it was $30,000. When rhey saw it was $3,000, they forgot about the duty.

I don't know what the rules are, but I've never paid duty on an international purchase.

That should depend on where you are from.
