damn I miss the days when I had money to order whatever I wanted ~___~

the usb is limited, although you still can find it in some online stores, but they will be gone and won't be reproducing after then.

if your's is in yellow case, then it's more rare. Those are the first press that got sold out very fast, cdjapan/hmv jp had them sold out within 4 hours

i have a question about ayupans. how come the AT06 are worth more than the rest of the ayupans? and who keeps their ayupans in those plastic display cases. ive been wanting to do that but i gotta find it.

~angel*ayumi~ · #**385** 2nd July 2009, 06:50 PM

The AT06 Ayupans were the first Ayupans that come along with a DVD release and were sold out very soon. Ppl weren´t prepared that they were out of stock so soon.

pchan1986 · #**386** 2nd July 2009, 07:07 PM

wow i didnt know that

krazeyo · #**387** 2nd July 2009, 08:13 PM

I like all the ayupans starting from AT06 D: I only have a few favourites from before AT06

Being a collector is so money consuming :x

I try not to let that get in the way though lol. I just won 3 of "the other side" remix singles last night on ebay! They'll make a nice addition to my collection. I'll post pics in a few weeks once I get em.

omgosh u guys, they just told me to pay $360 to ship my items from my middleman T-T i emailed em and told them, thats insanely ridiculous to pay for items that are worth way cheaper. so i told them to change it to SAL, id rather wait 2 months than pay for that much!

Mr. Goto · #**390** 4th July 2009, 07:38 AM

^ waaat does SAL seriously take that song to reach you??

i assume you are ordering from a middle man? it only takes around 2-3 weeks(usually 2) to reach me using SAL...

Ayumi_lover · #**391** 4th July 2009, 07:39 AM

i even have the feeling that there aren't even many sets of them to start with....seeing the comparision from her AT07 and AT08 ayupans, which can be found easily on auction sites.

well, shipping from japan aren't cheap to start with, and normally they would use EMS, it's safer. and they have really good packaging, so the items will be safe and sound.

which middleman are u using? and what did you bought? i assume you bought the musical box right? they will have to wrap extras layers to protect it, so that could be part of the reason why it's USD$360

pchan1986 · #**393** 4th July 2009, 03:53 PM

i guess its my fault, my stuff included magazines too so i can see why but lesssoned learned. i use japamart as my middleman.

Even so.......no type of packaging and shipping should total up to $360. Seriously, for that much they better be flying from Japan and showing up at my doorstep with the package in their hands and a letter from Ayu thanking me for my purchase.

NintendoHTF1242 · #**395** 4th July 2009, 10:43 PM

I love Ayu, but not enough to shell out $360 xD

Lady~Deviance · #**396** 5th July 2009, 01:05 AM

^ I second that.

well, she bought magazine and shipping rates for boks/mag are insane, from every country...as they are much more heavy.

pchan, i assume you have around 7 or more magazines right?

kendelle · #**398** 6th July 2009, 08:31 AM

Well, I'm just looking at this: http://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/cha...ms_all_en.html

The shipping would have to be WAY less than what they quoted, right? According to this site, the package would be equal to a 29Kg package in terms of difficulty to ship if this were the case!

Can they send the mags separately to lower the cost? I wouldn't think it needs to be pack in much beyond cardboard and wrapped in plastic to prevent water damage! Maybe next time contact the eBay seller japan_ssdyuk (think that's the spelling) as he ships free on SAL shipping after you spend $USD100 in his store. He may be able to offer a middleman service for you?

LacusClyne · #**399** 6th July 2009, 03:07 PM

oh and i just remember!

have you paid for the shipping, for the items to be ship within Japan?
If not, then it sounds reasonable for USD$360 for EMS, as you are paying for double shipping.

not to mention that some sellers in YAJ might sell the items cheap, but they are not putting a shipping price, so the sellers jack up on the shipping. that's why when i bought items on YAJ, i'm very careful to avoid those without shipping rates stated on their listing

pchan1986 · #**400** 6th July 2009, 05:24 PM

yea im pretty upset that i had to use surface mail since thats so unsafe T-T i asked them to separate the package to make it cheaper for me but they stated they cant do that since its already packaged (cheap ...BUTTS) even surface cost $145. itll be my last time being with them. ima go to cresent shop now since most peeps use it here. the package did include 12+ mags but i seriously didnt think it would cost that much. shipping within japan for 12 magazines cost $12! *sighs* ima take a break from buying from YAJ unless ayumi releases stuff from mu-mo (gona use cresent tho)
-yea ive paid the shipping already for the items within JP.
-thank you kendelle ur so sweet, ill look into that seller. ^^
