Collector's talk!

[Milox]

i was looking though play-asia the other day and I saw that they have the 10th Anniversary tour stamps FRAMED version O_O. Those look so cool, but I don't think my walls have anymore space XD

they cost 60$ X___X
Better getting them in Japan, it's way cheaper lol.

I don't think they sell them at the venues though I think you can only buy them in shibuya's post office.

[GRACE]

I would TOTALLY buy that if I had 60 bucks laying around. Sadly, my money is going to a complete Anna Tsuchiya collection =D

Nah, you can buy the stamp sets at the concerts. That's where they originally sold them before they were released in postal offices, though.

I'd rather not spend $60 on that set, though. Honestly, it would be a lot cheaper just to get it and get a frame sort it. >________< That frame must be made out of gold or something... lol

[Milox]

It's a really cool, show off kind of frame. Let me find a pic:

[polka-dot-jewel]

I think it's just that one being kept in a frame, though...if I remember correctly, the stamp sheet comes in a folder of some sort...

LOL Ayu chips!! XD

aw pommy don't be upset about this . I don't want you to feel inferior in that just because you don't have some sort of ayumi collection , it doesn't mean that you don't support her innit ?

I think the ones that costed me the most (in terms of money) to get brand new, was the 8 cm singles. They are all brand new but they costed me a good amount xD

And well the A set isn't that rare, but not many people have them sealed. Most only have the obi and the cd. I'm so picky with those things lol

There's only one single I own from my collection that isn't completely sealed, Boys & Girls, but it is signed by Ayu and has the original bag it came in just opened from the bottom. But I loooove it so much lol

And the Appears in ebay ended for like 13 usd i believe, incredibly cheap for that one. I have seen daybreak, which isn't that rare, end for like 40usd!!!!

=O
wow nowadays everything which i thought was expensive is cheap now
i bought all of my limited singles for 2.99 from mindofjapan
and i din have trouble getting outbid or nething
hahas
in fact...most of my singles are from moj coz that guy is just plain awesome =D

...yes, I know you can't get the stamps alone. It's a set. :-/



So how long did it take everyone to get what they have now? For me...I started collecting November 2006 (when Secret came out =D), so about a year and a half now.

[Milox]

When I bought my stamps at the concert venue, there were no frames like the plastic one pictured with the tour goods. It's in a folder, like someone previously wrote.

***

I started collecting the moment I bought my first Ayu single, back in 2002.

[astameth]

I bought my first Ayu cd, in january 2004. (endless sorrow single)
I didn't know that I could find Ayu items on ebay at that time, thus I bought new, almost all my cds.
Now, then I see some cd for 1/10 of the original price..
Even worse, when I began to buy stuff on ebay, I didn't know about Yahoo auction, and I've paid some items an insane price compared to Yahoo auctions..
After seeing Ayu in february, I though that I will stop to buy new stuff...
I've stopped one month.. and now back to crazyness
