:shimmy i just received the big gold bag and Depend on You 8cm :mini!
|
Ooh, cool!! How much was DoY?
|
I Want DoY 8CM!!!!
|
My collection is finally complete~! I'm only missing Nothing from Nothing single and album. Aside from that I just recieved my last order including everything I was in need of, remix singles and others! I can't beleive I actually got all 6 versions of Mirrocle World :P
I'll post pics later! |
Soo I wanted to start collecting some Ayu stuff, but I was wondering if you guys could tell me the price range of stuff, like on ebay.
Albums: Singles: Tour DVDs: Ayupan: Tour Merchandise: Posters: Remix albums: Misc: Did I miss anything? Also, could you guys tell me the price range on kinda rare stuff? Like first press editions, with different covers, CDs, and stuff that comes with it? And about how much is the difference between mint and used condition> |
Hard to tell and depends on the seller, there's no real average price for singles. You could get lucky and get a single for 1.99, or if you really want it you might end up having to outbid lots of people and stuff gets to like $40~
Most poster on ebay are overpriced. Dvds, most are fakes, imo it's better to buy from cdjapan or yesasia. Tour Stuff, way overpriced on ebay. Remix albums and Albums, anywhere from 15 to like 30 usd. You just have to look really, the price ranges are very big! |

The AT08 pouch I've recently got (and which is not that great, imo) is currently at 60 USD which is way too overpriced O_O
http://cgi.ebay.com/Ayumi-Hamasaki-p...QQcmdZViewItem |
^why on earth did you buy that from ebay??? you would have got it at less USD$15 cheaper with middleman.....
|
He didn't said he bought it from ebay xD
+ it comes with a coke and a battery! |
Hahaha, how great would that be? As soon as you can get your bag, you can have a nice long drink. XD XD
I think its just there to show sizes. :) |
>_> First of all, I already got my pouch, LacusClyne. I was just talking about this ebay auction because the bidding on it is already at 61USD now and the auction ends in 4 days.
And for your info: I also got my pouch from ebay too but I paid only 36 USD for it, including fees and shipping to Germany. So it wouldn't say that the middleman is cheaper, at least not in my case. @ Milox *sobs* I'm a girl! |
woops! sorry ;P

Omg I was bidding on that, too! When I saw it got up to 50 (From $20 o_________o) I promptly gave up on it. What I really want is an Ayu hoodie, though ;-; |
Waiting for kanariya & ayu-mi-x IV Non Stop Version 2CD :shimmy
|
Thanks for the help :P I was wondering if anyone had brought from these buyers on e-bay before: spiderpage, dora_ts17, and mindofjapan. Which ones would you recommend? Also, since my favourite single is H; how many versions of H are there, and what are the differences?
|
Quote:
There are five versions of H - the regular edition (white), then the limited editions (blue, pink, green), and then the limited re-released edition (again, white). The tracklistings are all the same, just the coverart is different. Click on these two links to see the covers and such: http://www.eneabba.net/ayu/disco/singles/27.H.htm http://www.eneabba.net/ayu/disco/singles/28A.H.htm |

how he can obtain so many cds to sell?? don't you think that he is loosing money selling cd's cheaper than he bought them???? it's really strange as for me..... lol
edit: or he is Santa Claus????? |
i think he have a way to get this cd second hand, in a very very cheap price, that's why he can sell them off at such a low rate
|
yeah, that's a complete mystery :mini! maybe somebody should ask him :roflmao!
|
i reckon YAJ is where he gets his CDs from
i saw Dora bidding for Ayu cd's on YAJ =D and its quite cheap sometimes but RARELY u see really gud deals such as 60 ayu cd/dvds for like...50 bucks...and shipping japan is less than 2000yen which means he paid approximately 60-70 bucks for 60 cds and yea... i bought a 50 bucks for 30 somethin cd/dvds + a book and a VHS from YAJ...coz i thought the 60 cd one would be too much including the international ems shipping lols especially wen Crescent Shop has really good yet heavyish shipping protection =D/=( but yea... xD |
There was this once I saw uhh 20 CDs + 2 sealed (AUDIENCE and SURREAL the rare ones). They costs 100yen only and someone else bidded 1600yen in the end.
Spoiler:
|
^errr
20 cds...why didn't u bid like..20-30 bucks on them!?!?!?!? *SLAMS* lols |
Yah i think he should be making good profit from this!
|
In general you can get things for quite cheap on YAJ. It's just a matter of constantly searching every day or two and keeping an eye open. I found a sealed version of AUDIENCE and won it for 200yen, and a sealed SURREAL that I won for 600yen. Yes, there are fees because of the middle man, but THEY ARE SEALED. I'm sorry but you don't see them sealed anywhere else very often...
|
What exactly do sealed singles look like? Is there a big difference?
|
Sealed means they've never been open. They're brand new.
|
Hey guys!!!! My bff cousin is willing to let buy his copy of the album a best however he sended me a picture and the cover looks kind of weird.Do you guys think he is trying to sell me a cheap copy or is this and overseas version? Here is the pic.
http://files.myopera.com/doctr1ne/blog/IMG00033.jpg |
my CDL07-08 alredy entered despatch process on HMV.Japan
|
They both buy from yahoo auctions, you know those big lots of cds auctions. I have outbidded dora there before :P, she has the same username xD
|
^har har! I've always thought they go to used CD stores or something. =P
|
dora_ts is a HE :P
|
Hey everybody!!!! A friend of mine is letting me buy his A Best album from Ayu and he sended me a pic but the cover is different.Can anybody tell me if this is an Oveseas ver. or is it a cheap copy?Here is the pic...
http://files.myopera.com/doctr1ne/blog/IMG00033.jpg |
^ It's the China pressing.
|
Quote:
Partly because these china versions are very cheap, like USD$7.50 only. how much is he selling that for? |
^Thanks!!!:P
|
^my advice, don't buy fom him if he offers you anything more then USD$5, it's not worth.....
|
^ WHAT!? China pressing of A BEST doesn't include an obi if I'm not wrong. Since it's opened, buy it at US$3. That's the max I'd go for.

Oh well on the good side another friends just gave me as a present the (Miss)Understood cd+dvd ***.ver. with the limited edition photobook.(On my way) Its so awesome.She also got me the Guilty album wich is also cd+dvd and limimed edition photobook.The (miss)undestood album is not new but she took good care of it and everything is in perfect condition.I feel like kissing her right now.lol.:D |
Hello guys...
I was finally going to make an order in cresent shop and I realize that the Stickers are out of stock, since the 1st part of the tour is ending this weekend, do you think they will be re-stocked? or are they gone for good? :( |
My guess would be that they will be gone for good, but I could be wrong.
Your best bet at this point is to search on Yahoo Auction Japan, people will likely be selling them on there. I noticed a lot of the AT08 goods being sold in auctions even though they were out of stock on mu-mo.com |
I just wanna know if there are 2 alternative covers for &? I mean there are 2 different pics of ayu and they both look cover-ish to me. The first one is the official one and the second one is a different picture. Does that mean it can be the cover too? Because it has
"& ayumi hamasaki" |
I think that the other one where she's facing the camera with her eyes closed is just a picture from the booklet. [HUGE SCAN] I think that the person who buys it can just put that as the "front cover", if they prefer it, by folding the booklet differently or whatever.
|
On this picture, you can see that the person turned the booklet around to show the 'usual' front cover. So it's possible it's like criminal said, they might have turned it around.
http://img283.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/u...296631jo07.jpg |
So its considered a cover? Okay! Then I'll use the alternative one since that one is nicer <3
|
Do you love AT07 design??? Because i'm in love with this!!! With box, cover, booklet, dvd's art.... I did'nt plann to order this tour, but i had money and wish to spend it on Ayu so i ordered also AT07. I've got it and it's fantastic!! It's just better than all my hopes!!
|
I LOVE THE DVD TOO! <33
|
has anyone yet received the normal (non-first press) cd+dvd edition of mirrorcle world or is it just a myth?
|
I've heard of someone ordering them, but don't know if they received, I would assume so.
Why do you ask? If you're wondering what they look like, they are exactly like any other CD+DVD singles. But with the respective images (same as First Press, except smaller to fit in the case). |
Quote:
MW is still an unpreceded case in her discography. |
order normal version through hmv.co.jp
|
Quote:
|
I can try and make it if you guys want~
-EDIT- I did it anyway. XD Spoiler:
I don't have any idea what the obi would look like. XD What I did was to replace the covers with my GUILTY casing. |
^You took your CDs from the First press and put them in the GUILTY jewel case? xD Awesome! Haha~
|
that does look awesome, great idea!
|
Here are some pictures of my non-first-press DoY-version:
Sorry they are a bit blurry, but that is all I can get out of my crappy cam at night. Spoiler:
You see it's not only a myth and it really exists :) I was a bit disappointed when I didn't get the bigger casing, but now I am happy about it, since it fits better into my shelf and the obi is quite nice (and I love obis). :D Tell me if you need more pictures. |
|
^...i want those re-releases!!!!!
|
Quote:
more pictures are welcomed. <3 |
Quote:
Spoiler:
The white disc is the DVD and the black one is the CD. The obi is blank at the reverse site. I guess you pretty much have the notion now how it looks like. :) It's not any different from the first press edition, apart from the missing paper box and the additional obi. All the pictures are the same. |
Heh my "fanmade" one looks exactly the same. XDD
Thanks for the pics! |
Quote:
Mine so far consists of (in order of purchase): (miss)understood (CD+DVD, Avex Asia pressing) Secret Guilty My Story Rainbow (Taiwanese bootleg apparently but I love it anyway) Secret, Guilty and My Story are all regular Japanese pressing CD only versions. I honestly don't care for the CD+DVD versions because of the bulky packaging and the fact I can't play the dvds anyway. This is all in less than a year so I know I should feel proud of my collection. But I really REALLY want physical copies of Memorial address and I am... With Memorial address, it's feasible since I've found two places I can get it for around $20 including shipping. I am... is another story and my financial situation right now is not very merciful. :( |
Quote:
|
Is this legit?
MY STORY Team Message Shirt It doesn't look like it's from AT 2005, since it uses the STADIUM TOUR font and I'm not sure if the back would actually say "My Story Ayumi Hamasaki" on a genuine Team Message shirt(?). If this is in fact licensed, then it looks very different from the rest of the MY STORY/AT 2005 merchandise. |

It's a parka/sweater/hoodie and not a t-shirt. And it's from CDL 04-05 :) |

Have anyone experience with http://www.play-asia.com ?

^ Never tried it. I heard the things there were very expensive x_x
Hey people. I have the CD+DVD version of Mirrorcle World YOU version which is an OS press. So which one should I buy next? - CD+DVD Depend on You OS press (Not sure if they are still giving out posters) - CD Only Depend on You Japan press (Just SG$1 more expensive than the CD+DVD one) |
Umm, does anyone happen to know about this t-shirt?
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t...ody/tshirt.png I got it from my Japanese friend. It wasn't removed from the plastic so I didn't do that either. It's really simple, so I was thinking, is this really real? :yconfused If it's real and someone's interested, I might sell it. :ybiggrin |
Quote:
All in all, if you're looking to purchases movies, animes, music, you're better off going on another website, imo. I bought my DS game there, because it was the only website I found it on. If I have to buy through them again, I'll definitely take EMS instead of UPS. |
About time this thread is revived! XD
|
Just gonna say it
I got appears, SURREAL, AUDIENCE, and Daybreak (All come with obi) for 2 bucks each ~ Best deal I've ever made. No, they aren't sealed, but I could careless because I bought the CD's to listen to. |
Quote:
|
^i will only sell if they are extras....been collecting for so long, i don't think i'll sell them off
|
Here's all I have
-All the mags I've got is the chinese ver as only this I can found in my country. -A BEST 2 -WHITE- -A BEST 2 -BLACk- -Talkin' 2 myself -Secret -GUILTY -CDL 07/08 http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/p...collection.jpg And this I'm gonna buy if I get some money. -AT 07 -AT 08 -latest Ayu's album after GUILTY |
Lol, did you like use paint and then cut the pictures and then paste them into the same background? No offence, just asking. :D
|
I think this thread should be updated so that fans can talk about their collections because some people in here were annoyed because of too much talking in the image section for ayu collections. Anyone?
Anyway, I just bid for ayu-mi-x and Startin' To Be.. (CD Only). I pray and hope that I'll won! |
I just got my Japanese Version of I am.. and RAINBOW album!! I know many here have it already but I am really happy to have it now as my own colllection! Treat it with super care~haha. I bought it from HMVJapan, after all the discounts, it is much cheaper than CDJapan etc. Also, my sis helped me order it on Monday night and I got it on Wed afternoon!! The delivery is fast and there is no extra cost on express delivery or smth. VERY VERY GOOD SERVCIE HAHA.
And I recently bought Dome Tour 2001, CDL 2000-2001 DVD from auctions!! very happy too! rusuke- I know how u feel!! Hope you will win the auction! |
i never thought i'd actually take pictures and upload my ayumi collection...but i just did anyhow. its not great, i really regret that some things (my older cds) aren't in great condition anymore, but when i first discovered ayumi i really used her cds a LOT. now i buy more to collect, but for for the first few years i bought things to use them.
anyhow, here it is... Spoiler:
|
Wow! you have a nice big collection out there, touchedstar! You know, you should not regret that some of your CDs aren't in great condition anymore.
I was also paranoid of what will my CDs condition will be when I usually used them but, I don't care much now. It's a different feeling when actually play the CDs than listening on PC or MP3. But I'm still careful in handling my precious CDs but you know too much carefulness can lead to more mishandling. (Which happened to me a lot of times!) |
Quote:
That's great that you already have I am.. and RAINBOW.. I just got mine last January. But they are slightly used but It's OK. I have to be practical these days. But someday I'll buy brand new copies, I hope!:) |
I started to collect Ayu CDs when I was in the 9th grade (3rd year HS).
I was victimized by a MY STORY bootleg in a local store here since I was newbie on buying genuine stuffs. I thought its okay to buy bootleg... but it wasn't good. I promised myself that I will be extra careful to it more. The very first single I've got is glitter/fated (CD+DVD), when I've open the box... I was amazed that this is REALLY a genuine one. Since that day, I've gone crazy saving money for buying Ayu CDs in the future. In my whole collection, about 60% of it was bought on my own wallet and the rest are support from my brother-in-law(even my sis) and my aunt from U.S.A. My aunt bought me 4 singles, namely HEAVEN, AUDIENCE, Free & Easy, and evolution. My brother-in-law gave me a (miss)understood (CD+DVD) on Christmas day of 2007. Recently, I was planning to get 5 singles this year. But since there's a news about the new album release, Im still planning it to cancel it. I've made up my mind that I'll get the album since I want to have a new album for my poor lonely (m)u. So, I've planning to get SEASONS, &, and of course, NEXT LEVEL (CD+DVD). :D That's it! ^_~-* |
Very nice...I should take a picture of mine soon. I'm too lazy to put them on the shelves haha...
|
I've got a pretty small collection, consists of:
fairyland CD+DVD Memorial Address MY STORY (miss)understood CD+DVD+on my way A Best 2 CD+2DVD Mirrorcle World(DOY Version) ayu-mi-x 6 -GOLD- Coming Soon RULE/Sparkle CD+DVD Next Level I recently bid on SEASONS and vogue on ebay, so hopefully i'll get those to add to my collection. I'm really interested in becoming a collector, but I'm still a bit confused. Can somebody explain middlemen(Celga, Crescent Shop) to me? I was reading their sites but it's a lot to take in with all the fees, etc. It sounds really expensive, but i'd really like to find the rarer stuff since ebay US doesn't have much. |
Quote:
I just won ayu-mi-x and Startin'/Born To Be...(Cd only) at ebay! Unfortunately I can't buy NEXT LEVEL limited edition..huhuhu... |
Quote:
|
Congrats to you!
Surely indeed! Collecting ayu stuff is so expensive! My pocket cries! But it's worth! BTW: Does Boys & Girls have OBI? |
Nope it doesn't. It's one of the older singles that doesn't have an obi. Back in those days, I think only albums had obis.
|
Quote:
|
That is strange Boys & Girls didn't have an OBI.
Because Utada's 12cm singles Automatic/time will tell, Movin' on without you, and First Love all came with OBI's, even though being packaged like the Boys & Girls single. I guess avex didn't bother making OBI's for the 12cm releases. |
Random question regarding the collections..Did ur treat ur Ayu collections with extreme care? I did that..i was so careful with all the OBI, plastic covering, holding the cd with so much care (scared that there wld be scratches so on)
|
^ Yes! I totally freaked out when I saw my GUILTY OBI tear a bit at the top :dead2 It's not just Ayu though, every CD that I own are treated with extreme care, LOL.
Argh, I so want that damn USB :grumpy |
I just received this morning my ayu-mi-x, Startin'/Born To Be...(CD only) and Boys & Girls! ayu-mi-x rocks especially the acoustic orchestra side with some reggae mixes!! I'm now loving teens! I really love it!
Now I know why Boys & Girls didn't have OBI, it's because the OBI details are in the sleeve itself... And I was amazed that it's the only Cd case that differs among all ayu's 12cm singles. Quite slim. Quote:
Whew! that was long...:) |
Yes! I buy wrappers from CDJapan for my CDs. Not only does it keep the CDs in good condition, it also makes the CD looks nicer to some extent. XD
|
^ Thanks for that info!
Now, I really want to get some of that. BTW, I had confusion on getting CD wrappers. Which is for CD+DVD and CD Only? I've decided to get her new album and 2 old singles, namely & and SEASONS. But there's a huge obstacle ahead. I must try to earn as much as possible before the release date. I want to have an another album. :( My sis wanted to buy it to me but they're just settling on their new apartment with her husband. I understand them as much as possible and thank God that I still have the $10 on my YA account. So far, my sis ordered me Rule/Sparkle with Days and free poster. I can't wait to have that! X3 |
I also put all my CDs back in the original wrapping, some of my Cds are even original sealed as I had them on ym PC allready.
|
Quote:
I have a few cds that are no longer sealed (from when I first started collecting) but now most everything is sealed or partially sealed. It sucks because a few of my cds have cracks, none of them are ayu though. |
