Then there was a notification 'Evolution' being almost sold out. That was removed and the price increased to 38USD, that batch also is sold out by now. New batch of "Evolution is Timing" for sale on AirRaid's site for just $ 68.- ex p&p From Yahoo auction site (through Google translate): Since the end of last year, 800 sets in one month was sold out, popular commodity! We've discovered 😂 a few inventory from the warehouse, it sends. The major live concerts from 1969 to 1980 to 15 discs in high-quality sound has recorded plenty. Since it has a shrink wrapping of factory direct, it can now be offered at low cost. By housed in the secret sale box, it has become a beautiful box.

That is still a low price and it does not look like a budget release either... What is good is that it has tracks from L.A. 1975 soundboard. It will tide me over until it becomes part of another release or a Moonchild one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moby_Dick_Ale Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 EVSD is definitely trying to make money out of this, as there is a new copy on "Evolution is Timing" aka "The Stargazer" for sale on yahoo auctions. This time it's a numbered version, limited edition just around $ 120.- ex p&p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckman Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Previous week I've spotted another one on an auction site here in Europe for a whopping 160 Euro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moby_Dick_Ale Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 They stop pressing after we stop buying. Right now my guess is around a thousand copies... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miinsane1971 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 I'm hoping mine will arrive this week. I don't think I've been this excited about a boot arrival in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miinsane1971 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 As a complete aside, has anyone from this forum ever purchased anything from Yahoo auctions? There are a few titles that I'm interested in that are selling cheaper than on Air Raid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I use the Buyee service to buy from the auction site - works fine but they declare full shipping value so for anything over $25, I generally expect to get charged VAT @ 20% plus a handling fee once it arrives in England so often there's no saving on using the regular providers who charge more but help avoid the fees. I actually bought 2 copies of the box set talked about above, separately, and they both came in under the threshold for VAT/fees so happy days - this is when they were $25. Sometimes there are items sold at big discounts which even with the VAT and fees paid are way way cheaper than the usual suppliers. Also Buyee offer registered airmail which is half the cost of EMS for small orders so this is a saving over some other suppliers and Japan Post is excellent.

There are three items from the same seller that I'm interested in that are selling for around 40 usd each. Just wondering what it's going to cost me in total.

My guess is as "Seastory1945" because sometimes when you buy sth a business card is enclosed with "AirRaid" on one side and "Seastory1945" on the flip side.

I really wish he would "price match" his prices on Yahoo auctions. It would be the difference between me being able to order three titles this week instead of only two.

Moby_Dick_Ale Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Besides the (IMO only small) price difference the real setback are customs. When I buy from AirRaid I've never had to pay customs. Most of the time it states "used cd's" or "gift". But as Yahoo Auctions is such a big organization, they have to do things by the book and thus the "custom-forms" with the actual price is on the package. When I bought the original "Deep Throat" it costs me € 250,- & € 22,- p&p. To pick it up from the post office it sat me back another € 56,- making € 328,- in total Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
