No actually I live in Japan! I always forget that our location isn't posted like a lot of other forums.
But yeah, they usually have free domestic shipping but of course would probably charge for international shipping. But the money you save on games/accessories would probably more than make up for the cost though. Their prices for consoles/systems are a little high though. A great place to pick up software, extra controllers, etc.
Looking at the site i'm thinking may i sign up there nice selection on megadrive titles,but it's hard to tell what is complete or loose.

I'm looking at the Japanese site, but if these characters are there then it means its loose: (箱説なし)

Rights got my eye on a few sega-cd games there.

RGGHHH!!!

"We apologise that despite our best efforts we have been unable to obtain a copy of the item you have ordered and have deleted this product from sale on our site. Many of our products are very specialist and sometimes can be difficult to obtain as was the case here. Please be assured of Catapult's commitment to customer service and let us know if you would like to make a reselection on this order - the majority of our products are in stock and available."

Godammit, why are they listing stuff if they don't even have it?!

My guess is there is a lag between their database and the actual listings on the site. Games are listed on Suruga even if they have only one copy left, so if it gets sold it's gone and their website is immediately updated. A proxy site won't be updated as quickly. One way you could avoid this is double-checking on the actual site by copying the Japanese title of the game (usually found on the game's wikipedia page) and searching for it on Suruga to make sure it's available before ordering through the proxy site.

rakuen has a link to see the original nontranslated page and you can find the Japanese name of the item on that.

Were they out of stock on everything you asked for?  if so that's very unlucky.

I did just make an order myself but I don't think I sniped anything you were trying to order; my order had Rayxanber 2, the SF2 *with* the box, a pad, and some non-PCE things, including a copy of Dancing Stage: Dreams Come True that was so cheap I ordered it just to get the manual (which my copy has missing).

Nah, I would have had that SF II, but only if they'd had a couple of Parodius, Twinbee, Star Parodier or Soldier Blade.  Not worth it with the shipping though.
