you can't tell them not to support this person. well unless you give them another alternative. like i used in my example earlier, if BSS hadnt gotten one of the 'official release' on ebay, you can be sure he'd have been bidding on this one.

if its not widely available, then the ebay sellers are always gonna win out in the end. someone will always want it that badly.

now, if he was selling a CDR version of say, Cologne, we can say not to buy it from him. But this is an official, and rare release. its the real deal.

There is another one and funnily enough, the pictures and text are exactly the same as the ones that came from seller m-2 in Japan (who is no longer an ebay member BTW), but this one is from a seller called sensense and also has the private bid thing on like m-2 did. Still, its not worth $165 but I wonder where this guy is getting his CDs. This must be the 10th to go on sale at least.

I printed out the history of the purchase of the 2nd ebay yannick round - someone called interstate got 2 copies in one go, "ballaran" nabbed 2 copies separately, and "duderjw" nabbed 3 copies separately. Maybe one of these is selling on ebay @ $165?

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...

I got an email from someone this morning saying it was for sale on ebay. I assume it was the person selling it for $165. Screw that. At least I know the guy's name now though. I tried replying to his email to say that the price is ridiculous, but for some reason, my reply bounced back as undeliverable. Whatever.

again, the price is only ridiculous if you dont want to pay it. to someone that makes say, $200k a year, the price is a 'who cares' point. ebay is a pretty good guide as to what things are actually worth to people. if it doesnt sell, he'll relist it at a slightly cheaper price until it does sell.

and he is doing nothing wrong really. just reselling a collectors item. like i said, if he was taking mp3s and buring them to disc and then reselling, then we could report him.
