I hope you do realize you have to also pay the separate shipping costs for SMJ to ship the items to you right? It's not part of the invoice of the total cost of the item as that's just the cost of paying and getting the items sent to their US storage facility.

Anyway, I assume you're going to start collecting more BGC soundtracks? XD, It was very addicting when I first started using SMJ to get those rare Scramble Wars soundtracks which eventually led to searching for many other anime soundtracks and singles. I got some pretty good deals such as getting all 5 volumes of the Chobits drama cd for just 2500 yen (around $40 with fees and commissions in total) when one of those alone cost around $40-$50 on ebay or US sites.

Nowadays I'm just browsing there for rare and out of print soundtracks or singles from animes I like.

Just a note: maybe it's a collectors mind but I always tend to look for soundtracks or singles that comes with its original obi-strip (those strips you find on the spine of Japanese jewel case CD's). They can end up adding much more value to the items they're packed in and usually contain a summary or information about the item.

Another thing I also look out for is finding out if there is a first press edition of the cd I'm thinking of getting. They are released in very limited amounts that comes with some small extras. Sometimes it's a bonus DVD, a sticker, a mini poster etc. They're usually small extra goodies. There's a few BGC soundtracks that have first press editions (BGCrash! Soldier Blue drama CD, AD Police OST 1 and AD Police Takoyaki Western drama CD).
