It'll be like the shoes - the first pair of UW shoes on eBay in my size went for a stupid amount of money - I waited it out and eventually got what I wanted for only 25% more than they were sold in the stores over here (and which was a darn site cheaper than some purists pay for a "regular" pair of Nike's or Adidas in the shops).
Thousands of these CDs were made - more and more will appear on eBay, the non-hardcore fans will get fed-up with silly bids and the prices will come down eventually.

What amazes me though is this: as soon as these CDs were announced, a lot of whining and bitching went on in the forums about the Japanese fans getting it all and us getting nothing. I don't think it was any coincidence that the band decided to do something about it for the fans. But, despite their gallant but ultimately failed attempt to stream the Tokyo gig, and despite the fact that they actually DID stream the Osaka gig in full for us, (sound board, amazing quality), there are
still people who seem to take it as some kind of personal insult that the CD has not been released in their country. Bizarre.
