¿Where do I buy old and rare ayu items?

[yagovg]

I became an ayu fan in february, and since then, I bought some things like singles and albums, but the point is that if you want to buy something old like her 3 inch singles you have to sell your liver to buy it, or they are out of stock which is even worse.
My question is, those fans that now want to buy her old stuff, can we find it somewhere, is there a web or a good way to obtain them?
I want her "TO BE" 3 inch single so bad, and "evolution" too. I tried to find some first press (of her actual stuff) but it is no use, it's all out, i wanted to have the "guilty" album cd+dvd with the photobook japan version, but it's sold out.

Can anyone help me? or we, the new fans, have to accept we cannot have her old and rare stuff?

You CAN get her old & rare stuff, but not if you're not willing to work for it.

My advice is to find it via Yahoo! Auctions Japan. Most sellers there wont' ship overseas (in fact about 99% won't) so you need to go through a middleman. This can get expensive, but if you find a good deal on YAJ, it's not TOO bad.

Check with these middleman services; look at their fees & shipping costs and choose the one that's most reasonable to you.

www.shoppingmalljapan.com
www.rinkya.com
www.crescent-shop.com
www.celga.com

There are others, but these seem to be most popular.

you can also search a bit here on AHS, there have been quite a few people selling Ayu CD/DVD's.

and about GUILTY it'll be on sale again very soon i'm sure of it^^

Not the first press?

I think you'll just have to settle with buying at a premium, it's quite logical when you want soemthing from such a popular artist. When there's a strong competition, price will go up.

[jiarongisme]

Well I got my AUDIENCE and SURREAL from eBay. They're both rare singles. ^^

[yagovg]

Thank you guys, can someone give me the link of the selling items of this forum?, i cannot find it LOL

that's true, the only way to get that is e-bay and here on AHS^^

for ebay, just beware of bootles, if you are new to ebay, i'll say search for these sellers-dora_ts17 and mindofjapan. Both are great sellers and have tons of jpop second hand cds in reasonable rates. They ship overseas. (^_^)

[love in music]

I've bought from both of these sellers in the past. dora sometimes sells sets of singles. I got UNITE!, Dearest, Free & Easy, Inspire and moments for under USD $20!! ^__^

EDIT: Actually she's selling old Ayu albums for cheap right now!! http://shop.ebay.com.au/merchant/dor...Q_fromZQQ_mdoZ

its at the Fan's Site, under the off topic section

[Keiichi_JPU]

Yes keep an eye on the Fan Site department here I bought Surreal from an AHS member for a very good price! Really happy with it ^__^

[yagovg]

Actually what i'm looking for is brand new sealed items, which is near imposible to obtain you know, and if it is, it becomes so expensive tha you cannot buy it

[LacusClyne]

not true, you can find the sealed version from the above 2 ebay sellers, sometimes they do have it. just looked out whe it says brand new or sealed, coz i got 5 of koda kumi's 12 singles(sealed, brand new) from him

dora has good stuff but they often come in very bad condition. That happened to metpao and I at least. Try mindofjapan too. He is a great seller.
