Bootlegs on Yahoo Auction Japan?

apple-pi · #1 10th May 2008, 05:07 PM

I know one should be very careful when buying from Ebay because of bootlegs, so I was wondering if Yahoo Auction Japan had bootlegs as well? Or are japanese sellers more trustworthy?

Ya they do have bootledgs for some singers for example BoA they have only a few though

I've seen some bootlegs on there but certainly not as much. As always be careful when buying used anything. (Or even new)

Personally I've only bought posters on there but I do peruse CDs now and then and see them there. =\

I haven't really seen any bootlegs on YAJ yet but i'll keep a good lookout for some now

I don't see why japanese do bootleg though >_> they can walk down the street and get a 2nd hand copy of any cd for iunno 200ish yen? i thought all bootlegs are usually made in china

Any country will produce bootlegs. Asian artist bootlegs aren't contained to just China

There are people everywhere who will try to make a profit on something that isn't really theirs. It's cheaper for them to burn a CD than buy it used in the first place.

I've bought used CDs through YJA and they were real. I also go through a few pages of Ayu things sold on there and I have yet to see anything fake. If there are fake ones, they look very real. But I'm pretty sure there are very few of them, if at all.

Thanks for the info guys! I guess it has a lot less bootlegs then, at least.

I saw someone selling RAINBOW+I am... albums, and in the tracklist they wrote for RAINBOW was like this:
1. everlasting dream
2. WE WISH
3. Real me
4. Free & Easy
5. Heartplace
6. Over
7. HANABI
8. taskinillusion
9. everywhere nowhere
10. July 1st
11. Dolls
12. neverending dream
13. Voyage
14. Close to you
15. independent
16. RAINBOW

...that's wrong, right? XD Probably a bootleg?

^the "RAINBOW" could be referring to the firstpress edition that came with the instrumental of RAINBOW so people could write lyrics to it. It's usually labelled as track 0, though.

i thought that track 0 wasn't at cd. there waas only a link to download it from secret site. But it and full RAINBOW included in Rainbow dvd audio i think
