i will say most of the singles are real, but albums can be a bit tricky. For recommend sellers, buy from dora_ts17, mindofjapan, misskey, letheglace.

^ O.o
nvr heard of misskey before
i'll check her/him out now xD

Well, mostly because of the buyer. Altough, I Am... , Rainbow, Duty, A Best and A Ballads, are the most common bootles out there. Those are really easy to tell because of for example, the Duty one has a weird obi, the Rainbow bootleg has this weird grayish blue color. I have only seen some singles bootlegs on Ebay, and most are incredibly easy to tell because of the track list and/or the cover, for example there's one INSPIRE right now that has the obi on the bottom

And wonder how many AYu singles there is in this auction...

i own the second one and it's from cdjapan japanese version. I think both of them are japanese versions second is just First press one

I think it's hard to tell from both pics but it looks real to me .

Except for the 2nd pic , it has the OBI .

Do both albums in both pics comes with the photobook ? If either 1 of them does , then it's the real thing

yatsuda · #**126** 24th May 2008, 03:22 PM

It doesn't say anything about the photobook in the first pic, so I would guess there's no photobook (because it's not the first press edition).

ah ok

but yeah it looks real , it doesn't seem fake to me , the giveaway I suppose's the Japanese sticker in front of the album/s

Both versions of GUILTY came with the photobook, as long as they were first-press. When they were released, it was announced they would come with the same photobook.

I would have thought they were both Japan versions because it has the price in yen on both in the bottom left corner of the obis, I don't think it shows that on the OS versions...

I never saw this sellers at E-Bay.. maybee, they are not on the German E-Bay side? I have no idea.
Once, I aked a seller, where from are his Ayu-Albums, he wanted to sell. And he said.. it is from Miyu. It was a botleg. I told him.. and he said.. "Because, it is not the official Legal Version, it is allowed to sell it. (°-°)'''
I didn't bought it.... i dont wanna have a botleg.

He really told me. I also said to him, that it can not be and is not allowed. But.. he don't reacted any more.

lol You're trying to correct someone's English when you don't even write proper English on here? Anyways, "because it is not the official legal version, it is allowed to sell it" sounds like it was translated using some website (Excite, Babelfish, etc). It should really be "I cannot sell it because it is not a legal copy" or something along those lines.

eBay or YAJ is where most of us buy our items, probably. ^^ That's where they're the cheapest, really...
