Yeah, I understand I have the pay for shipping twice, plus their commisions and potentially customs fees. Even after all that though, the price I'm paying is great compared to what these things go for on ebay in the US. Average price is usually about $40-$50 each with Obi strips, I'm guessing maybe $10 less for copies without the Obi? I'm not sure how much value that really takes away.
I know what you mean about the collector's mentality too, I'm like that when I buy DVDs. At the moment though, I'm not that concerned with tracking down 100% complete copies of import CDs. As long as I get the case, booklet and disc and they're all in good condition, I'll be happy for now. If I really get into collecting, I can always search out stuff in better condition later and sell my incomplete copies.
This auction was also nice for me since it's my first auction using a deputy service and I'll be saving quite a bit of money since it's only one auction and I'll only have to pay all of their fees once.
