I'm sucha loser, buying CDs to actaully listen to them. :[

Sadly my Audience that I bought on eBay was already opened, and no OBI =[

:yes same here

Maybe the CDs were opened just placed back inside. I do that to prevent any types of scratches or damages. It takes like, have a second of your life to just open it and seal it again so just let it go people.

anyways:

Hitomi Shimatani - Papillon [album]

That's what I do evolution =D

I open my cd's put the wrappings in a pile behind my desk for sentimental value and then keep my cd's on a bookshelf

=O

Ayumi Hamasaki - Appears (wrapped =3)

^what'd you give for it and where?

It was an eBay purchase ;-)

I think it was around $18 w/ shipping.

I found a 2nd A BEST cover too ;-)

Exactly.

I geuss we all have different views of things =]

^I'd say that guess is quite good.

Shouldn't a thread like this be created for the Asian Music section? Most people here post non-Ayu collections too...

I was thinking the same thing =/

^ Same here, but since everybody just kept on posting releases/merchandise from other artists, we just went with the flow I guess.

Anyway, non-Ayu update:

Pardon the bag and the magazine on the upper-left hand corner~ ^^;

I can see why people don't open their CDs, if its really valuable then you wouldn't want anything to happen with it. I personally haven't had a real valuable CD so all mine are opened :D
