I dunno, ebay can be way more dodgy than a Japanese web store...

Is it possible this person bought the blu ray BEFORE they jacked up the price to that extreme high? That's the only SANE thing I can think of.

If not, then fuck, I wish I'd bought multiple copies. The profit woulda covered the Iron Maiden tickets I just bought :-p

That person was definitely special to say the least assuming that they didn't just drop the auction after winning and not pay...

For reference, here are some recent (completed) auctions for the BD and DVD.

I guess it's totally realistic for some people to buy it second hand at a ridiculous price, watch it, maybe burn it, then make their money back through resale I assume that's how a lot of limited edition items make their way around when they're going this high...

God, does that mean I'm gonna have to keep preordering Ringo stuff before hearing or viewing it if I want to get it for a decent price?

I was planning to take it easy from now on and WAIT till I hear/see whether or not it was worth plonking down the cash for it.

I'm noticing markups on the Coke single too now, triple price average. Hope the people that wanted that grabbed it already.

This is the first time to memory that I've seen these kinds of price jumps, but I'm guessing that if it says first press only, you might want to grab it immediately.

Of course, the latest single has a very strong visual that would likely get people interested in owning a physical copy even though it's available through digital music markets.

Of course, stuff like MoRA was also limited to first press only, but I guess being willing to put out the amount of money for that set restricts the people able to purchase it in the first place, compared with comparatively inexpensive singles and DVD/BDs

There was retarded price jumps when Ichigo Ichie came out too (30,000 yen was the highest I remember it). The boxset version still demands stupid prices (around the 15,000 yen mark), but the CD only version is floating at near normal price now (I'd say that's thanks to the second pressing of it)- which I hear (though have not seen a picture to prove it unfortunately) comes in standard jewel case now.

Kinda offtopic, I see Ichigo Ichie mentioned quite a few times on this boards usually when it's a talk about something hard to get. Is it that good of an album or is it brought up only because of its rarity?

I think it's a great album, but it's like a natural extension of SG.... so yeah you might be eh about it.

I think people who criticize Ringo's current output should offer her goods on ebay dirt-cheap. Sell it for what you think it's worth.

"I have a sealed Blu-ray of Expo14 and it's yours for 25 cents!" -- Ringo critic with integrity.
