Are OBIs A Necessity To You?

Hello! Are OBIs a necessity to you? For me, it's definetely a necessity when I'm buying an opened or used CD (brand new CDs come with an OBI so I'm not counting that). It's turned into a deciding factor for me on whether I buy a CD or not. I do have a CD or two without an OBI that I bought online but they look naked to me without them. I was under the impression at the time that they were coming with OBIs but it ended up that they didn't. I guess you can say that I get a little anal about it but it just feels weird. Am I the only one who doesn't like to buy CDs without OBIs?

not really , the contents of a CD/DVD is more important as compared to a piece of paper

it looks cool & all but it's not a necessity to me

most importantly , I'm not a collector to begin with

i like OBIs for some odd reason.

i mean, i can do without them in the overall scheme of things, but i prefer a CD or whatever with one. but i do own some used CDs or DVDs that don't have one.

It depends on the CD, sometimes. I like my Ayu singles to have them because without them, you can't really tell what the CD is from the spine. As for other CDs, I'm not too bothered, I'm happy if they have an obi but if they don't, I'm not going to cry or anything. XD

I keep all of my OBIs, and I put an elastic band around my CD's, so the OBI stays on where it originally was.

I like having them. They look pretty!!
Some OBIs I threw out at the beginning and now I'm sad!
I even printed out a Guilty and (miss) understood OBI because they looked so sad without them XD

Why would anyone throw them out? Obviously they're not an integral part of the packaging, but it's not like some piece of garbage it comes with

Hahaha, anyways, I would expect an OBI to be with a CD if I ever bought one used.

If I'm going to pay like $20 more for an overpriced Japanese CD....I'm going to pretend that the $20 buys something....even if its just a piece of paper.

I will keep them if they came with the CD, but can't bother much if I didn't come with the CD

I couldn't imagine why anyone would care about them before, but since last year I started to collect them. Not because I care, but if I ever want to sell my CDs they do add some value for some people XD

Yup, they are important to me. I want my collection to be as mint as possible. Plus it looks better when they are in shelves imo.
