[EBAY] A-discography $5,299

[C+R+E+AYUMI]

simply WOWOW

[kendelle]

Well $6k is probably what the retail value of all these items is anyway...I don't really see an issue here =|

I don't see your point on not investing money in anything. That's like saying "don't buy toys for your kid because they'll grow out of them", "don't buy a car because it will just get old and you'll sell it", "don't buy any fashions because they'll be unpopular next season".

Live for the moment, live for what you want to do. If collecting Ayu stuff is fun for you just enjoy it.

^Well said!

^^ I agree with you too!
But at the same time a tiny little annoying voice (my ******* mother) keeps saying.
Something is only worth what someone will pay for it!
(that women never supported me in anything i did... *****)

As for the bashing.. I think this thread is somewhat attacking...

Ayumi Singles (everything): 118968 yen = 1516.29 USD
Ayumi Albums (everything): 174658 yen = 2226.10 USD
5 DVD's : 12390 = 157.91
Grand total = 3900.30

I couldnt add the other stuff cause i dont know how much that runs for, but all those prices are from the avex website... So it looks like its not really a good deal.. lol
But, i still think if i had that kind of cash to blow I would buy it..

(but right now, I thinking in the back of my mind.. I have most of the albums... Look how much money i spent! X.X)

maybe he was ordering through CDJ or even middleman and want's the shipping costs back as well

in my country for this much cash I can get almost new Hayabusa 3000, sorry Ayu, I'm happy with the few albums and concerts I already have

Yeah, an observational judgment (calling the seller a lunatic was so tasteful)--followed by a drawn out post in which you give "advice." You obviously know enough about everything to be able to tell the seller that what he/she is doing is a waste of time. You imply that he or she is unsure about Hamasaki-fandom. Hello, news flash: It's not really in your authority to decide if a person is a fan or not. The seller could have encountered serious financial issues, ect, ect. How would you know?

And then you have the audacity to draw in AHS sellers as "examples." Um, I don't know who you think you are, but you have some issues if you feel this whole thread was necessary. I don't really understand the whacky research you did on all those Amazon sales or whatever but it was pointless.

Going back to the subject at hand, the price that seller is requesting is absolutely within reason. None of those items are overpriced, they're all brand new. Anyway, I don't know who made you an expert on collections. If someone has the money to buy all this stuff (granted I sure as heck wouldn't) then its their freedom to do so. Who the hell are you to be composing this pseudo-case-report on how unfit of a fan they are? Anyway, I'm done with this whole joke so whatever.

Good luck to the seller on getting rid of that stuff!

I have a strange feeling that this is pieces...Everything is sealed, Japan press. And when I asked them about her drizzly singles, they didn't know what they were, just like pieces.

This person has not been hit by the earthquake or tsunami. I saw this up on ebay months ago.

what do you mean by pieces?

[Mai82Go]

I wouldn't buy it even if I was a rich girl. I think people are too much concerned about posessions and collecting stuff. I think having all Ayu albums and the DVD's that I like is enough. Never bought a single of Ayu and I probably never will.

I think he's saying he thinks its Pieces_of_SEVEN selling this.

[Picaflor 7/4]

^yes. Because if I said it's Mike selling this stuff, people wouldn't know what I was talking about.

and I was like...why are you so obsessed with me? LOL

Why would you think it's me?
You really think I'd part with my ayu collection? NEVER.

[Picaflor 7/4]

^Deductive reasoning. You and the ebay seller have a massive ayumi hamasaki collection. You both have multiple versions of everything. If ayu releases versions A-Q, you buy all of them like this ebay seller did. Their collection is all first press and japan press like yours, and I'm assuming none of yours is taken out of plastic, or you at least put them back into it when you're done with them. Just like the seller with this collection. It's all sealed. And they didn't know what her drizzly singles were when I asked them through pm on ebay. Neither did you. When I made a poll a few weeks ago asking if ayu should have more drizzly singles. you said "what are those?"

So... with all this in mind, I thought you two were one in the same. I guess I didn't realize that there was more than one person with a massive ayumi hamasaki, japan press, first press, multiple versions of everything collection who also didn't know what her drizzly singles were. oh well. I know now.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^^I'll take that as a compliment. I'm too proud of my collection to ever part with it. LOL

[Picaflor 7/4]

^I would be too if I were you. lol I'm only proud of my ayu vinyl collection which is already worth a lot. haha

[lividlillies]

That picture is amazing! I saved it. Why collect all that ayu stuff when you can look at someone else's collection? XD;

This's exactly what i'm thinking when i see this thread! an useless thread!i just can't get the point of criticizing sb just becasue he/she wants to sell their collection!

It would take me about a six months to earn all that on my own .
