It is also with Yahoo Japan that sellers easily just pull auctions. Either they are not satisfied with the end bid, or don't want to sell to proxies, or have the item in another shop, or a physical shop and when sold there, they pull the auction at Yahoo, or leave it for centuries and when someone bids, realize, it isn't there anymore and also pull the auction. The only comforting thing is you haven't paid yet, so no trouble. Buyee reserves some money, but then you get that back if not won. substance wrote: They are also on ebay from the same seller. I check the auctions everyday. Unfortunately no obi=no buy! If one auction stays at 6000 yen, under 100 bucks, then i am the last to let that deal go. Most of these discs go in the hundreds. I would like to go for Atlantis, i like nature, just for the have of it, as i don't have a player to play it (yet). Nice thing sometimes you can get good deals. After all, i bought a few vsd's there that would have cost me a few 100 bucks if bought from ebay, or even higher from some member here . And the cdv player i got also for a few bucks, (ok having to pay 100 bucks for shipment and another for a transformer added to the overall cost. HLD would cost me an extra fortune for the muse decoder and the monstrous shipment and customs costs). Thanks for the mentioning of the discs; would still be very nice to have one . (No, now everybody going to bid sky high on all of the titles, mwah, we"ll see).

IIRC, the obi on most Hi-Vision releases (I think Jumanji was the exception) were stickers. Also, didn't know they're were also on ebay. Looks like they're from a seller in Portugal though. Minus T2, all his listings have their obi included. http://www.ebay.com/sch/magic_80s/m.htm ... 7675.l2562As for bidding sky high on them, I doubt it. I mean, the market for Muse discs are pretty low, since you need a decoder + an expensive player to even watch them. I would bid on these, but they're too high for my tastes plus the previous statement.

I saw these just this morning as well, frankly I was hoping too much attention wouldn't be drawn as I could do without the competition too!!! Though I'm sure like Substance anyone with the interest here would check quite frequently anyway. I'm grateful at least for his obi ocd so I might have a chance with some of these!!

publius wrote: Huh. I don't really care about the "obi" -- it's nice to have, but I am comfortable without it. On the other hand, the movie discs are of small interest to me. I entirely concur with your statement. I do not care about the obi or the condition of the disc. My MUSE disc of Okinawa has some severe scratches but it still plays very nicely. And I do not care about the movie discs, either. They are of very small interest to me, too.

Good for me that can live with missing obi and some scuffs. If the cover and disc are clean and in excellent or better condition then it would not bother me at all if the OBI is missing. I would of course pay less for the item but I'm still interested in MUSE titles without the OBI if they are priced accordingly. Of course first preference is always to get the item complete but I will settle for less as long as it is still in nice condition. Scruffy sleeves and scratched discs is a whole different ballgame.........generally I have no interest in worn out items that have obviously been neglected, especially high end items unless they are virtually free. Interestingly the only MUSE title on yahoo that DIDN'T sell first time was the one with the scruffy sleeve....I wonder why! The market for junk like that is really small.

The cover it self is in good condition. It seems it is one of the titles where the obi was a round sticker. Mine doesn't have the shrink plastic anymore, so naturally the sticker also is gone. The scratches didn't affect playback at all, nothing deep. The title isn't anything spectacular, it is: Romantic Greece (1994) [COLE-50001]. A little bit fun for me, as I wisited Greece (Rhodes) this summer.
