I've never had anything smashed from Dora, even when he wraps things on the cheap side.

I have about 30 CDs from there - the only one that wasn't 100% was my white H CD - it has a little mess on it, but you only see it if you look in natural light ^^

I know what you mean. I ordered INSPIRE and Moments from him and both had major damage to the jewel cases. Luckily the CD's were fine. He was very apologetic and refunded part of my money though.

^ That just reminded me of something. There was once I bought a CD from him which was supposed to come with an OBI but didn't. So I messaged him about it and he sent it out but it has been about 6 months and it still isn't here yet :( I messaged him that the obi isn't here yet but only told me that he already sent it out and didn't do anything else :( Sad.

well, the only thing you need to be careful buying from dora is that, i think he uses the same picture for all the same singles that he's selling, therefore the picture you see on the listing page might not be the exact same thing that you will be getting.

Like he have a SURREAL single in his store today, he posted the picture and it gets sold. then like 2 weeks later, when he sell another SURREAL single, he used the same picture if i'm not wrong or my eyes aren't playing trick with me.

Yeah he's got like a database of pics for the items he sells or something.

@Meat Pao: Yeah you have to be really careful with those pics too. I bought the Depend on you re release single from him, thinking it would come with an obi. I open the package once I receive it and i'm like "WTF. Where is the obi?". I went back and checked and the picture of the CD had no obi with it. :/

did you tell him u didn't receive it? same thing happened to me, but i received it within a week.

the irony is that... sometimes when i feedback that the cds come in cracked cases, he offers to send me another casing, but it comes cracked. if he's getting so much feedback about receiving cracked cases, shdn't he be doing something about his packaging method? its a waste when u try to save on bubble wrap and have to fork out extra to send another case overseas.

other than the cracked cases, i really like buying from him though... hope he improves on his packaging...

That's exactly what happened to my copy of Ayu's A single actually :laugh But for the CD that came without an OBI, there was indeed an obi in the picture but I didn't get it, so he sent out another one which until now hasn't arrived yet. I guess it's lost in the mail *sigh*

I did tell him, but he just told me "I already sent it out 2 months ago, thanks" when I asked him in March, so I guess I'm just unlucky!

And yea, I do agree that Dora should improve on his packaging LOL. I buy from a user called mindofjapan too, who packs everything in a box and ships quite as efficient as dora too, just that he doesn't list CDs as often as dora :(

kendelle 14th July 2009 04:54 AM

^ mindofjapan is ok but when I used them the shipping was much higher than Dora's and the packing was pretty similar.

me0wie 14th July 2009 08:05 AM

i used to buy from mindofjapan. his things are of better quality, more new looking, less cracks, scratches... his stuff used to be cheaper too... now more ex... and less items... i miss buying my stuff from him...

LacusClyne 15th July 2009 07:29 AM

^i think it depends on how much he got them for in the first place.

since both of them buy from YAJ to sell, so if they buy more and pay more, the items that they sell will have to be higher too.

As for shipping, mindofjapan ship VERY FAST, like on the day you pay he can send on the SAME day. I wonder how he does it?
In terms of packing, if you buy more cds from minofjapan, he will pack them very carefully, with a sheet of bubblewrap BEWTWEEN cases, which is something that dora doesn't have

Meat Pao 15th July 2009 09:30 AM

Yea I really prefer mindofjapan's packaging wayyyyy more than dora. Would pay more for my item shipping to arrive nice and safe lol.

LacusClyne 16th July 2009 12:59 PM

not to mention that mindofjapan item description are more accurate, at least he knows what's he's selling.

dora seems to be 100% sure of his Morning Musume stuff though. I saw there are more editing on his different listing of the SAME item

critter333294 16th July 2009 04:50 PM

^true, but mindofjapan has like 15 things up for sale right now! And his stock almost never changes. I wish he would put up some ayu goods for sale :(

LacusClyne 17th July 2009 03:32 AM

maybe because he had not purchase anything to sell....

pchan1986 19th July 2009 02:17 PM

are these ayupans suppose to be rare?

im sorrie to ask so much about ayupans but i just started collecting some of them.

LacusClyne 20th July 2009 05:21 AM

^they are sort of rare, but it depends on the pricing. How much did you see them for?

and another thing to take note is that these are EVEN SMALLER then the regular ayupan.

pchan1986 20th July 2009 05:54 AM

i got em for 8850Y:thud this is baddd...ayupans are eating my money LOL sike its my fault but still im in no rush to collect them all. i got this since 1) their together 2)their still sealed 3)memorial address era= awesomeness. i never buy ayupans separate, its makes it harder to collect them that way in my opinion. it seems like im collecting my ayupans backwards tho :D i tried getting the my story straps that went up to 11000Y i was soo mad cuz the dang bidding thing froze at the very end, preventing me from winning T-T

LacusClyne 20th July 2009 03:30 PM

^my goodness, i won't pay that much for a strap....it's too much, no way! lucky the system hang on u, you can get a better deal for that.

but the price you pay for the ayupans is okay for me, at least it's in a set and sealed

Will anyone here will be disappointed if they received their Limited TA tour 2003 fan with 2 nasty scratches.. The scratches was not on the photo when I auction it off on e-bay.....

Blasterion 21st July 2009 12:28 AM

I'd be somewhat disappointed, but I could live with those scratches.

but then I'd still go try and find one in better condition ^^
