For example, a cd only offered through japan's club nintendo; how do stores on ebay get like 15 copies of it? (and the specific example I most recently noticed has no bootleg out there listed in the database)

Here is an example:

I've bought from this guy before, and he seems legit, but 15 copies of a cd only available through club nintendo? I've seen this sort of thing a lot...

I'm guessing they just buy points cards, then trade them in for the soundtracks?

I see his prices are still as expensive as ever.

I think it has much to do with the currency exchange over the last couple of years.
