Rikuto Wins Baby Clothes in Yahoo Auction

November 17th, 2007 by Nick Ramsay

Mami recently plucked up the courage to bid in an auction over at Yahoo! Japan. The world’s largest auction site is eBay, but it doesn’t even exist in Japan, probably due to the overwhelming success of Yahoo! Auctions.

To stop herself getting carried away, Mami claims to never bid over 100 yen. That’s just 90 cents to those of you who think in US dollars. Anyway, even with such a low spending limit, she won her first auction and the baby’s new clothes arrived today.

Here is Rikuto’s winter wear, good as new, for just 80 yen:

Pretty cool, eh? You’ve got to love those built in socks!
