this is fair comment, because if they were not available in these batches at £15 each, then the only ones for sale would be from people who acquired them at the gigs, and as such i would be bidding on some....
Although - when this was first released, i did see some for sale on ebay, before i had my copy, and didn't bid because even then, the price was too high for me...stupid money
Generally, I weigh up the quantity of an item against the price, and see if its worth it, like the mmm skyscraper CD singles, there was no way i'd pay £75 for one, but i didn't have a copy until last year, but it cost me £15...i'd have gone to £30 but not more because its not worth that much and my waiting paid off as i got one relatively cheaply, and so waiting for this Tokyo CD set has paid off too, because almost everyone who really wanted one got one at a decent price....its not always the case, but patience does pay off...
i knew i could get a Tokyo CD somehow, and did, likewise, mmm skyscraper...but even i have limits on price on somethings
there will be some who don't have this and the only outlet will be via ebay...and if they pay over the odds then its their own choice...
ebay is a strange, but fairly freemarket and if someone wants to charge $100 for a Cd that people could quite easily get for £15 then thats up to them...
