Stay tuned for more Sanrio products. My time is sparse, but please come take a look! ### ★★★★★Important Notes ★★★★★ - Any significant stains or scratches will be mentioned, but please be aware I may overlook minor flaws. - Even new, unused items may be opened for inspection; exceptions apply to items marked as unopened. - We have a pet (dog) in the home; I will do my best to keep my workspace clean, but hair may occasionally find its way onto items; interested bidders with allergies should refrain from bidding. - Product images may differ from actual items due to official photos or multiple stock items; please inquire if you’d like actual images; I can provide more. - For new bidders or those with less than 20 ratings, please inquire before bidding; bids made without prior communication may be canceled at my discretion. - Products with unauthorized bids or bids I decline will be relisted at more than double the price. - No discounts are offered except for combined shipping costs; I will not respond to discount requests; items with such inquiries will be relisted at double the price. - If 24 hours pass after winning without initiating contact, I will cancel the order automatically; if you wish for a combined transaction, please contact me within 24 hours. - Please allow several days for processing before shipping. - Be sure to check my self-introduction! After shipping, an automated message will be sent from Yahoo Auctions after three days, but please disregard it. Just check the item upon receipt. I know I sound strict, but past experiences compel me to outline these guidelines. I hope to do business with someone who fully respects the auction price! ### ★★★★★About Shipping★★★★★ - If you're concerned about shipping fees, please ask beforehand. - Many misunderstand types of shipping; shipping from Hokkaido can be expensive (¥1000-¥2000+) even for small items when using Yu-pack. Please do not complain about shipping costs as I do not set the prices. - I often allow Yu-pack shipping, as most of my items are purchased by businesses. - **If you mistakenly select shipping**, changing to standard or registered mail is possible; feel free to reach out. - I exclusively use the post office; if you want a different carrier, I can list the item again accordingly. ## Collector note This 2001 Hello Kitty folding mobile phone (model cdmaOne C401SA) is a standout piece of Y2K nostalgia, particularly appealing to collectors of Sanrio merchandise and retro technology.
