Sorry bout that. =/ The only person I trust on ebay really for selling Ayu stuff is Ayumi Showcase. ^^
Ayumi Showcase price are damn expensive, i never bought stuff from him... he is just STEALING people, steal in the price of the item and on the shipping price...

I already reported ALL bootleg sellers + items for Ayumi stuff on ebay


Here's is a list of cheap, fair and good ayumi stuff sellers :

-ystgc
-tomohare1969
-penggy
-mnuguyen
-best.friends.in.tochigi
-pinkygirl629
-uscsteph
-popn_roller


Bootlegs sellers but reliable seller too (if you say that you don't want bootleg, they will refund you (if you paid trought paypal it's easy), and you'll juste have to return the item :

-animedrama

Tips in order to avoid bootlegs :

-Never try to buy CDL 01-02 or 02-03 alone, they'r all bootlegs...
-DVD Region ALL are bootleg
-If the price is very low (under 9$/dvd), the item is certainly a bootleg
-If the seller is located in Singapore, and the price of his item is very cheap, 90% of chance that the item is a bootleg too

Others tips :

-Try to buy stuff from sellers located in Japan !
-Try to use paypal for paying your auctions, you'll be refunded easily if there's is a problem with the seller/item
-Check prices on ebay and yahoo auction singapore too ! Sometimes they'r much cheapers on yahoo SG !!
-Avoïd seller like ayumi_showcase, that got huge pretty collection, but sell item at very very high cost, and make money on shipping cost too
-Ask the weight of the package you buy in order to verify online the REAL shipping cost
-Never buy from someone that got 95% positive feedbacks or less...
-Try to buy your ayu CDs on lot Some lot of 20-30 CDs are very cheap ! 2-3$/CD sometimes...
-Use combined shipping in order to save money
-Never leave a positive feedback before receiving the item, and testing it, however ASK FOR positive feedback AS SOON AS YOU HAVE PAID ! It will be better for you to have the positive feedback first.

When you are not sure if the item you are currently bidding on, is bootleg or not, you can always ask me on private message, i spent 2-4H/days on ebay/yahoo auction since December 2004, and already spent 750€ ( about 1000$) on ayumi stuff
