Hi,
Honestly this is not an original one. And I have never ever said it's an original Japanese one or an Asian version. When the bidders wrote me emails to ask about the makers of the DVD's, CD's...? I've been honestly asnwering them, the DVD's are from a company called "Miya Records", which is located in Taiwan. I even told them, if you are looking for an original one, please do not bid!
I'm not trying to cheat or make meself to be belived a good person. But I'm really a very honest person.
Many new bidders or new Paypal users sent money to me twice, I not only retuened them the money, but also wrote them letters to teach them how to pay. Actually I was charges Paypal transaction fees as many times as they paid. But I don't charge them.
Believe or not, many bidders are Japanese who live in Hawaii, or anywhere in the U.S., some of them are students, some of them are..., Japanese people know exactly how much an original one cost. They would simply write me an email to ask, " who's the maker? How's the quality?" I always tell them the truth. They still buy. Believe or not, about quarter of the bidders who have bought from me are Japanese. (I can tell from their names.)
And maybe you don't believe me in that Japanese people use copy ones? Well, I'm not sure whether you've been to Japan? In Japan, everything's too expensive, and they really care about "Face" to catch up all the new trends. So they are to buy fake ones. Or simply they can't always afford the real ones. For example, you might think that the most percentage of people who use "not official Microsoft Windows" is Taiwan or China, because all the fake stuffs are from them. Then you are wrong, it's Japan. (You can check the official record, if you would like to.)
When I took a trip to Japan, I found something weird that a lot of shops have CD's, DVD's for rent, not for sale. I asked my Japanese friend, she said that they can't afford always to buy new ones, so they rent and make a copy, even copies for themselves and their friends. It might be funny to you, I know.
I felt bad when I got the letter from you. Because I know some people still care! Well, please retuen the DVD to me, I'll refund you by Paypal. If you have reported to eBay, it's OK for me. I don't mean to sell fake ones are good.
But please, when you try to purchase from ebay again, please ask the seller of the makers. I found some people said they only sell "only original, sealed, new ones, no used, bootlegs..." sell Miya's stuffs, too. Not me, I don't do that. So you can see some of my feedback shown the bidders said that I'm very honest.
what a good excuse huh..
