big-will 7 Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 but at least the look new when you buy them. I just got 10 cds send over from amazon.co.uk - all of them really cheap (about 2-5 pounds each!!) but most of them look like they're 2nd hand (they aren't). I suppose I'm used to the shrink-wrapped, well-made Japanese versions that don't have bits falling off first time you touch them. Obviously, it's the CD that counts but its just annoying buying poor quality new stuff. There I feel a bit better now. Great prices though!! Link to post Share on other sites
bettyx 0 Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 yeah but i can never get the damn shrink wrap off. & then when i finally do, i've gotta deal with the seal at the top of the case.. aah give me good value anyday! Link to post Share on other sites
ProbablyaCrazyPerson 2 Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Japanese cds don't usually have the top seal - thats US ones, well in my experience anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyFrog 0 Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Know what you're saying, I've had some come from the uk and they've been in pretty crap condition. Good value anyway, but you do expect new things to actually look.... new! Link to post Share on other sites
white-void 0 Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 More than a few times come from UK or US and the middle part that keeps the CD in place has been broken. Annoying but if they are 1/4 the price of them here.... Link to post Share on other sites

rach 1 Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 big-will just looking at some of the special offers on amazon uk theres some really cheap things on there. If I get them sent to my parents, then they send them on the shipping will be much less as well. Ta! Link to post Share on other sites
