Fucking auctions.
So seiret linked me to this, which is quite possibly the most obnoxious auction ever. And not just because of the ridiculous amount the bid is up to.
That DVD was a free extra that the Tower Records in Shibuya gave to customers to pre-ordered Beautiful Days at the store. It was not, to my knowledge, ever sold or given away at lives.
I'm EXTREMELY displeased at the description of the item. "I think the item was sold at lives" is nothing short of misleading. (And I'm subsequently disgusted by the possibility that there are people bidding on it who don't know any more than the seller does.) Unfortunately, as much as it irritates me, it's really not good enough grounds for reporting the auction. And it's almost over so there's no point in trying to contact the seller.
Oh, and they're also selling this. And another copy of demonstration vol. 1. (That's what, the fourth? Fifth?) I'd really like to know how they keep getting these items, when by all rights they should either be in the hands of people who bought them when they were available, or in Akihide's possession (seriously). But I was expecting individual fans to start selling their stuff off, not someone who doesn't even know where the fuck the stuff they're selling came from.
ALSO, HOLY SHIT TWO PAGES OF FAIRY FORE RESULTS. In all the years I've been trolling Y! auctions for their stuff, I swear I've never seen more than one page's worth. And I see that that seller is still trying to get ￥4,800 for FILL IN and Un*Balance. IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. BREAKERZ fans don't care enough, sorry. Oh wait, no I'm not. There's also some sellers that need to understand the same thing about KING and LAID fans. Especially KING fans, since anyone who gives enough of a damn to buy the recent demos is already going to lives anyways. Except me. And isn't going to pay 2+ times the amount the band is selling them for.
Oh, and does anyone know WHEN THE FUCK I GET TO USE USE YAHOO THROUGH EBAY? WHAT THE HELL IS TAKING SO FUCKING LONG WITH THAT.
