The Rarest and Most Expensive Cds

[Aifread]

Look at the bid count. 2nd one was very clearly a bidding war which is guaranteed to make the price fly way off the handle.

While looking for the film soundtrack for Sweeet Home, I stumbled upon this: https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp...on/w1024161680

Hmm tasty sunfaded spine. Luckily I have a copy, bought many years ago, at the time I didn't even know this was somehow related to Biohazard.
(though they stole A LOT from Alone in the Dark - did they even mention this at some point, or are they too ashamed?)

The same copy with the same description (why is "バイオハザード BIOHAZARD RESIDENT EVIL" there?) and photos is also on Amazon for double the price. Fishy...

Thanks. I bought one and requested photos from Buyee and this is what they gave me:

What do you guys think? Does this look in good condition?

[Chris Porter]

Well, at least you know that it's well packed. Whatever condition it's currently in, you can be pretty sure it won't end up any worse. Haha!

What? You're making fun of the wrong people. I value the seller putting the bubble wrap. It's Buyee thinking I want pictures of bubble wrap for 300¥ that's the problem.

For comparison sake, here's what Zenmarket has given me in the past (for 500¥ each):

They won't open something sealed unless you request it, which is what I did here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dbrsqxh4z...oH9rmvjta?dl=0

I can't believe these are still up! https://www.dropbox.com/sh/pctanrqzs...gjjIDErka?dl=0

You get what you pay for, I guess?

[LuxKiller65]

Ah I get it.

There have been a few sealed and used copies of Ales no Tsubasa these last few weeks - all of a sudden. Was thinking of buying one but then I told myself what I really want is the Area 88 album. Too bad that one is way more expensive when it shows up. Last sealed copy just went for 25 k

People just have too much money, really. There's no other explanation

After 9 months, the very same set of game music records surfaced again on Yahoo. How do I know? It's missing the insert of Ys II and you can tell from the foxing spots of the Sorcerian Arrange II LP it must be the very same one

Final price was 57k Yen this time, so considerably less than last time. Was the first buyer hoping for some price increase? I don't know, the initial price was very high already imo. This is somewhat fishy and my guess is, game music LPs are really getting pushed (literally, in price). Another example would be this Sorcerian LP which ended some days ago for over 50k Yen. Another weird example, since this was readily available for about 10k Yen not too many months ago.

I’ve got some very obscure stuff, including a CD/R “pre-master burn” copy of the first Giacchino Medal of Honor soundtrack, but I think the big one for me is the Origin Audio CD, Vol. 1 I finally found on eBay after like 20 years. It was only given out internally at Origin in 1991, and it set me back about $400 after I talked the guy down a little.
