Well, I have considered and understand all of your points but thought I'd give it a try anyway.

It would require someone who was very trusting and trustworthy to be able to do this for me. If I'd found someone I was intending to have a few phone conversations and a mini-interview of sorts to try to gauge how trustworthy they are. That way, they could possibly get an idea of what kind of person I am as well.

The thing is, me offering money to someone who brings them over is a better deal than keeping a bunch of pairs of underwear, right? Unless of course they devised their own scheme to sell them...maybe unlikely. That was something that could promote honesty on their side.

Don't worry, I'm aware that it's a bit of a shot in the dark but from my experience, a lot of the people coming to Japan and in Japan are honest and good people. Because of this, I know that the chances of this situation working out are better.

However, not everyone is honest and good so there's a risk there too. Thanks all for your honest outlooks and concern. I'm willing to take the hit if I mis-gauge a person and assume responsibility.
