Change in price for You were... / BALLAD on YA?

I've pre-ordered them, but the price was 23$, it's now 32$, in CAD.
Why did this happen?
Talking about the CD/DVD versions?
Anyone else notice this?

This is why I don't like YesAsia when they price their things. They increased the price because of a poster that's supposed to be free? At least CDjapan actually sticks to the actual price as it would be sold in Japan, 1000 yen / 1800 yen.

^ Yesasia shipping is much more expansive if you're going to use EMS, if you're using regular mail it's pretty cheap on cdjapan too

I personally have seen ayaka's History 2006 - 2009 ; 2 CDs with photobook , the price jacked up all the way from US$35+ to US$49.99 on YesAsia

still , it went outta print sooner or later

i'm not sure bout other country,but this is the price include shipping fee to my country,malaysia :

Yesasia : US$31.95 (CD VERSION )
CDJapan : USD14.9867 (CD VERSION)


so far,the differences is quite obvious.one is giving so-called free poster and another so far does not announce bout this.
the shipping option i choose is normal airmail

all i know is that whenever i buy a single from CDJapan and pick the cheapest/slowest shipping, it still costs about $30 total, for a CD only single. add in another single and that's another $30 (they won't even combine shipping). $60 for two cd only singles sucks.

When you pre-order at YA you always have to order as soon as possible, because when you order before they add the poster you will get the normal price + poster, not the raised price.
