LBA is designed for speed and efficiency for easing bulk purchases, and for incredibly low prices, at or near cost prices, in mind.

Purchase Conditions When buying an item, you agree that: You are responsible for following our requirements and other instructions listed on the LBA site, participating in an auction in a quiet, safe, distraction-free environment where you can have the best audio/video to concentrate on the descriptions of the items by our auctioneers and understand them fully, and reading the full item listing (when available) before making a bid or commitment to buy. You enter into a legally binding contract to purchase an item when you commit to buy, when your offer (bid) for an item is accepted, or if you have the winning bid (or your bid is otherwise accepted). Your legally binding contract with us above is your right to purchase an item at your maximum bid (or lower if the final price does not meet your maximum bid) should we decide not to withdraw the item. A bid is not a guarantee that you will be able to purchase an item. We reserve a right to set a reserve price for an item and are under no obligations to disclose the reserve price. We reserve a right to withdraw an item you or someone else has placed a bid for if the reserve price has not been met within a certain time, if we deem the bidding price is not sufficient, or for any other reasons. We do not accept cancellation of an entire order or individual items within, during or after auctions. All sales are final. Though our auctioneers try their best to describe our items in a clear, coherent manner, we are not responsible for misinterpretations of their product descriptions and purchases arising from them. Examples of such misunderstandings include, but not limited to, nuances or different meaning of the words they used, or due to audio/video issues. All of our items are sold AS IS, all sales are FINAL and we accept no returns or refunds, except those outlined in the ?Return/Refund Policy?. Please do not bid if you have any doubts or uncertainty about the items. You are obligated to pay for the item(s) within 5 calendar days from the date of the purchase. If we do not receive your payment within that period, we reserve a right to cancel your order and make the items you originally purchased available for other buyers again. 7. Shipping Policy We generally ship your order within 24-48 hours after the order has been paid, and will notify you with a tracking number via email. If your order is less than USD$500, it will be shipped with regular shipping. If equal or more than USD$500, it will be shipped with express shipping. Regular shipping will take 5-12 days to arrive almost anywhere in the world, and express shipping will take 3-5 days. All items will be shipped out of our headquarters in Japan.
