Valicious 572 Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) ***The RarezHut store is temporarily on hiatus until January. We are busy creating a snazzy new site with many new exciting features. Make sure to follow this thread, as well as our Facebook and twitter for updates and events!*** Monochrome Heaven discount: Enter MH05 at store checkout to receive 5% off your order! I'd like to present to you all: RarezHut! We are the largest internationally-based store for used Japanese Rock and visual kei music. We have been working hard to deliver a store to meet the needs of the international visual kei and Jrock community, offering a wide selection of products at a very low prices. We've got a total inventory of well over 2000 items, each of which includes a listenable/watchable sample, and will be working hard over the coming months to deliver timely updates with as many items as we can stuff in there. Currently available are a multitude of CDs, DVDs, VHS, and cassette tapes spanning well over 200 bands. http://www.rarezhut.net/ "Fuzzy search" system: When you search for a band, it'll pull up any other items available by bands with members from the band you searched for in addition. Listenable/watchable samples for every item to give you a little idea of what to look forward to. Newsletter: If you create an account, you can opt-in for our (mostly) bi-weekly newsletter which details all of the newest additions and will be sent out the moment they're added to the site, allowing you to get first dibs on any new goodies! Remember: once they're gone, they're gone for good~ Digital copies: Along with any cassette/VHS purchases, we offer high-quality digital copies made with professional-grade equipment free-of-charge. We realize that not everyone has the means to play these aging formats, but we aim not to let that get in the way of you being able to enjoy them! In an effort to make sure that buying goes smoothly, all items added will have the digital copies ready before addition so that packages can be shipped out on the next business day. We decided start a new program last year, namely livestreaming auctions. We unbox giant orders we've had shipped in from Japan, and let people bid on the rarest of the rarez using our automated bidding system. With few exceptions, our livestreams are Saturday and Sunday on the 2nd and 3rd weekends of every other month. (January, March, etc) Concerned about shipping costs? We’ll hold your items from the first weekend, combine them with those from the second weekend, and ship everything out together. Invoices will be sent out after each weekend, and payment via PayPal is due within 3 days of the invoice. Pay for the item only after the 1st weekend, then the 2nd weekend’s invoice will contain a shipping quote as well. Orders are shipped off within 3 days of the last day of streaming provided payment has been received. We have the greatest customers in the world, and we want to continue to give back. For every $200 we sell during the livestreams, we will raffle off a free CD. Simply be in the chat when the milestone is reached, and you’ll automatically be entered. (There will be a meter visible that shows how close to the next giveaway we are.) All streams are located at www.rarezhut.net/stream If you've got any questions/comments/feedback, feel free to ask. Click on the images to visit us on our social media and like/subscribe/follow us for the latest news, events, and exclusive giveaways!

We’re looking for contributors to make videos for our YouTube channel! What kind of videos? You can do anything you want as long as they are informative, reasonably entertaining, have decent production quality, and are at least tangentially-related to visual kei/jrock/Japan/etc. Message Valicious for more details*** Edited October 29, 2018 by Valicious 4 emmny, shiroihana, robkun and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

herpes 1597 Posted January 13, 2016 is that a cascade vinyl?! also i swallowed my tongue @ seeing mitsuko london on the band list (also also can you tell me what ya-foo you've got coming up so I can prepare myself) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valicious 572 Posted January 13, 2016 I wish. It's actually a "fake" vinyl. There's a cardboard record in there with little hub in the middle holding the CD in place. It's still really cool though! We generally try and keep the exact contents of the stream somewhat of a surprise, but I can at least tell you that it's a full album 1 herpes reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valicious 572 Posted January 14, 2016 Introducing RarezHut Crowd Rewards We have the greatest customers in the world, and we want to continue to give back. For every $200 we sell during the livestreams, we will raffle off a free CD. Prepare yourselves for a tidal wave of free VK, all you have to do is show up <3 I was thinking about doing an MVP system that rewards whomever spent the most that weekend, but I figured a system that rewards a collaborative effort fits more into the spirit of things. Next up, Monochrome Heaven-wide giveaways! (as soon as I finish brainstorming on exactly how) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Valicious 572 Posted January 26, 2016 Thank you again to everyone who came to the streams the last two weekends. We're steadilly working on packing up orders and should start sending out invoices tonight. 1 Jigsaw9 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valicious 572 Posted January 29, 2016 We are continuing to send out shipping invoices, thank you for your patience We apologize that it's taking slightly longer this time. Panda started school this week, and his Game Dev and C++ classes are not going easy the first week. Valicious wishes she could help, but stupid useless hands are not allowing that. We are forsaking sleep tonight in an effort to finish packing, weighing, and invoicing for all 30+ packages. 1 -NOVA- reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valicious 572 Posted February 4, 2016 Effective January 17th, 2016, USPS raised their rates across the board. Most notable is a 21% increase for first class international mail, as well as not giving a discount for paying for shipping online anymore. We are currently in talks with other shipping companies about getting discounts to make shipping more affordable. (We ship over 100lbs/month) RarezHut is working nonstop so that our customers are not punished by this increase. We'll keep everyone updated as we learn more. 1 -NOVA- reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
