Good buy or not?
 
Hello! I just bought four CD's on eBay all used for $31.50 USD including EMS shipping. They were all Japanese version and were: M, Seasons, Surreal and Audience all with their OBI's and all were in good condition (according to the seller) just wondering if it was a good deal or if I got ripped off?

If you purchased from AnimeCast, they're bootlegs. I bought some Ayu albums from them and they were all bootlegs. I spent about $150.

You bought awesome singles~ :D

edit: I don't know if AnimeCast sells singles, so, yeah, I don't know. Lol.

Well, hopefully they're all real. XD

If so, then you got a pretty good deal.

SURREAL and AUDIENCE were limited to 300,000 copies and sold out [from what I understand]~ so you paid a little less than 8 dollars each with shipping. :D

I doubt it's Animecast (those bastards) because he said they were in "good condition", and Animecast only sells new to my knowledge. You're probably fine. And yes, that's a pretty good deal. The only way you could get them cheaper would be to buy them used in Japan yourself.

OMG THAT MUST SUCK!!! :irked I'll get them for you!! Hmm... I bought them off, I think it was like route001 or something like that and he said they were all official japanese releases so I'll guess I'll just have to wait and see!

Deneb 28th April 2008 11:51 AM

I think it was a good deal!

But I would never buy Ayu CD's on ebay. I saw so much bootlegs there.

apple-pi 29th April 2008 06:24 PM

Aren't OBIs a way to make sure they aren't bootlegs? Or do people falisifie the OBI too? o__o
Anyway, I think new release singles cost around $10 each (CD-Only)~ no? If that's right, four used ones for $30 seems like a good deal~

thinkingoutloud89 29th April 2008 06:37 PM

its a good deal altough I paid 2,99 for all of them (each) ^^

For something on eBay I think that you only got a slightly better than average price. Used CDs on eBay can go really cheap. There is nothing wrong with your purchase though.

me0wie 30th April 2008 04:00 AM

those are definitely originals. i was bidding for them too! honestly, u can get it for a better price. I wouldn't call it a rip off. Its just slightly more expensive. I'm buying those 4 singles separately on ebay and it does costs slightly cheaper to do so... My advice is, never be too excited on a single bid that u bid very very high just to get the item. Chances are, a few days later, there will be other people selling the same things, starting from the bottom bottom bid. If u're lucky, noone fights with u, u get them for the first bid much much much cheaper. Some things are expensive on ebay only because, unluckily, there are a few people eyeing on the same thing together...
