omg are u for real?? *cries*

but he said it was imported from japan etc... :cry

The labeling on the DVD's are wrong, so chances are it is a bootleg. (CDL 2001-2003 should be CDL 2001-2002 and Stadium Tour should be 2002.) The photo of the box is also wrong...
But if he/she claims it is region 3, then it is the Overseas Version... but I doubt it.

overseas versions of anything never has chinese on it except for the insert inside the CD with the chinese lyrics and the thingy they stick on the spine of the CD.

and that's majorly expensive for a bootleg!!

Syphex 22nd June 2005 05:40 AM

If the seller claims it is the original imported japense, and it is not, then youhave a right to send it back, get a refund, and leave negative feedback.

You win, bootleg or not.

You're exactly right. Also, if you look at the spines of the DVDs, only one DVD has part of the 'A' on it, and the other titles are in the middle. On the official DVDs, the titles start at the top and work their way down, they're not centered.

Qt Mashi 22nd June 2005 07:06 AM

will dvd bootlegs quality and concert same as the real ones??

wat exactly are bootlegs?

mnuguyen 22nd June 2005 07:25 AM

There are some "high quality" bootlegs, I guess you could get them if you don't mind it not being official.
Bootlegs are "home made" copies of the original DVD or CD.

Delirium-Zer0 22nd June 2005 07:57 AM

I've seen ayu concert bootlegs where the audio was WAY off from the video. This might be a hi-quality bootleg but, being a bootleg, NO way it's worth $50, much less $80. :( I say get a refund and hold out for a real one.

I think it's a bootleg. :( I've got the original set and there is no writing in the upper corners. Also the person said that these were the original discs from Japan, yet lists the region for them as being Region 3. Japan is Region 2.

You should of asked us before bidding. :( I think you can probabally cancel the transaction through ebay though, since the items are being misrepresented.

Also an official set w/ all 4 wouldn't go for less than $100 and Ayu's concerts are so good, she deserves people buying the real things - not bootlegs.

Poor Qt Mashi!

Delirium-Zer0 23rd June 2005 07:42 AM

Hey, you live you learn. I think QT learned from this experience, both how to identify bootlegs and that you should always ask around before bidding on something that might be a bootleg. (To me, buying bootlegs is even worse than downloading alot ;_; cuz you're not only not supporting the artist you love, but you're supporting people who make money by trying to fool us, and losing money yourself in the process!)

lol yes hehe

Qt Mashi 24th June 2005 08:19 AM

i messages him on ebay and asked for a refund because it was a bootleg because it had chinese writing etc and he messaged me back:

"I don't know what you are talking about. All my merchandise are 100% matching my descriptions. No "bootlegs" in my listings. If you want to change your mind because your carelessness of reading my description of the auction, that's your problem. At Ebay, winning bid is a contract, you can't change it according your will. By the way, your merchandise was shipped out yesterday morning. For your info."

s.k.y 24th June 2005 08:31 AM

><" hope you figure a way out of this :(

isaac hiew 24th June 2005 08:59 AM

Jeez, never buy ayu products on the net, man..... Even you wanna buy it, you should ask the auctioner properly.

My condolences to you. As for me, I have a trustworthy J-POP/K-POP dealer in my town so I always and only goes there to purchase ayumi merchandises.

Talk to Ebay. It IS a bootleg and bootlegs aren't allowed to be sold (even though plenty of people do it all the time) Ebay has a special section to report items that go against Ebay's selling policies. Or if you paid through paypal, you can lodge a complaint with them.

Also, point that person to this thread. It is POSSIBLE that they don't know they are selling a bootleg although with such misnamed titles like Countdown Live 2001-2003, I don't know how they couldn't know...

Brittany 24th June 2005 06:22 PM

Ugh, I dunno why Ebay lets people sell bootlegs. I don't think the people that run Ebay can tell the difference between Japanese and Chinese bootlegs. I may be wrong though. However .. ugh, that's so dumb. That seller.

I don't know how people can lie out of their arses and tell the buyer that it's an authentic one :rolleyes

jerms 24th June 2005 06:29 PM

haha, it's fake. i own 2 of them though. a local store sold all 4 of them seperately. don't cry, you got them for cheap and they still work in your dvd player.

elaniel 24th June 2005 07:16 PM

if you used paypal CANCEL the money trhough paypal.

Prove to them its a bootleg with all the info you compile on eneabba.

Ebay will ban the user and youll get yoru money back to go towards official stuff

Well, HOPEFULLY they work - with bootlegs you never know what you are getting. I unknowingly got a bootleg of Battle Royale and the picture sucks and the subtitles don't work. Plus I see from his feedback there have been people complaining about discs not working.

Whether they work or not or are cheap or not, isn't even the point though. :)

~Matt~ 25th June 2005 08:56 PM

i think its fake...

EDGE23 26th June 2005 02:23 AM

i don't think it fake . some places charge the cover of the CD.

you are joking right? Its so obvious its fake.

kyuusei 27th June 2005 06:56 AM

Interesting, the auction link doesn't work. I wonder if eBay did something about the seller, or is my browser acting up?

I do believe I saw it on eBay a few days ago though, looked like a fake so I passed it over. After I pay this fall's tuition I hope to buy the real deal off CDJapan anyway.

I believe it is out of print now, but I'm not sure. Does CDJapan still have it?

And the link doesn't work for me either. Looks like Ebay actually did something about it. Now hopefully QT can get her money back too. :)

kyuusei 27th June 2005 07:58 AM

I think it was the complete clip box. Or, I'm guessing from the posts. CDJapan seems to still have it... (9800 yen, ow. But it'll be worth it. =P)

Ahhh that's a different box set. The Complete Clip box contains all of her music videos from Poker Face up till Forgiveness. What we are discussing in this thread is the Complete LIVE box. It has 4 of her concerts from 2002 and is out of print and costs way more than 9800 yen. :)

kyuusei 27th June 2005 09:01 AM

Ohh... the live box. I know which one you mean now. I almost forgot about it. XD

I did see a bootlegged complete clip box on eBay though... probably where I got confused. Though I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same seller. Hah.
