Thanks for the tips! But, I wonder where I can find stuff cheap... here at AHS there aren't that many people selling Ayu stuff. I'm scared of using eBay and getting bootlegs. And does YJA auctions actually end up cheaper than buying it new? Aren't the shipping + tax + middleman charges a lot?

Some people sell stuff every once in a while, and usually it's cheap. On eBay, just look at a person's feedback, and you should be able to tell whether they are good seller's or not. Oh, and make sure you check the description, and if it's an Ayu item and you're not sure if it's real or not, go to eneabba and compare. Usually, middleman charges are a lot of it you buy a lot and get it shipped via EMS (which is what they prefer, but usually they'll let you use another service as long as you notify them).

Thank you so much When I started buying CDs back a year ago, you could find a lot of stuff on eBAY from trusted sellers such as Dora's Store and MindofJapan for very very cheap. Some of my CDs were brand new and cost me only about $3. I've noticed that now its a lot harder to get good deals, the bids go up to like $15 or more. Its insane!!! I remember when it was super cheap to get stuff Now I usually have to wait a while to buy, because it's too expensive.

I really want to get A Best 2 -black- and -white-. Realllllly do, but unfortunately for me right now I don't have so much money in my hands. Those usually sell for super expensive prices, even on Yahoo Auctions Japan. The prices are usually awfully close to the retail price

^do you mind the oversea version? they are actually at least half the price cheaper then japan version. i will recommend getting those if you are broke and die die want these.

No not at all, the only reason why all my CDs are Japanese versions is because they either came from CDJapan, HMV or eBAY (Dora's and mindofjapan). Can you recommend any stores that has overseas stuff?

Aw ~ I started with glitter / fated too! I have my MY STORY, Duty, and Secret coming soon! Japan ver. of course. <3
Does CDJapan still have the photobooks with (miss)understood? I need to order the Japanese version of the CD ONLY because my Korean version is seriously damaged.

Yea glitter/fated will always hold a special place for that one reason hehe
I don't think CDJapan still has the first press, I just checked and it was actually sold out. I recommend looking through eBAY. I only buy from two sellers and I trust them 100% they always have official copies and in really good condition. Check on mindofjapan and Dora's Store, if they currently don't have (miss) understood up for bidding then you could check back again next week.

Another thing you can do is personally contact them through eBAY, I've contacted Tsuyoshi (Dora's Store) before and he has actually found CDs for me he didn't have up for bidding. So that's another alternative!

Good Luck!

All of the (m)u albums available on online website stores(like CDJapan, HMV, ect) are out of stock or sold out concerning on First Press(which included the photobook).

Your best bet is to check out on eBay often, or Yahoo Auction Japan if you don't mind using a middle man. Though I haven't seen any on eBay, I used YAJ a lot and I just bought both copies of (m)u (CD and CD+DVD) with photobooks last week. Also, sometimes you can see the photobooks sold on their own without the album (I purchased the GUILTY photobook on its own not too long ago).

You've got a pm, Earth_maiden

(Sorry, for the self-promotion but if anyone is interested in purchasing the (m)u photobook on my way then pm me. I have two copies of it that I could sell or trade).

it can't be trusted when it comes to taking orders, but for in store items, it's fine. I had been getting some pictures from them for the past 4 years.

back then, they were still located in Heeren

[apple-pi]

Thanks a LOT for the help, guys! I saw I lot of stuff I want for really cheap, I'll go on a buying spree at eBay as soon as I have the money! XD

I don't understand
What store are you talking about?

[AyumiBest]

I was so shocked when I saw A song for XX and MY STORY at HMV tonight. I was gonna buy MA but nah...I'm gonna wait till Koda Kumi's Moon comes out and buy everything I want all at once.

I think that cover of my story is no longer first press since its a later pressing. =P

^ YesAsia.com is the best place for Overseas versions of Japanese CDs, though HMV.hk has them too.
