| Important note: The discussion below and relevant prices are all from around 2004-2006. The exact prices have most likely changed, some products may no longer be available and some sites may not longer be operational. I still consider the comparison below useful, more or less - even in the middle of 2013 - so I'll keep it... | |
| 1. | The information on this page is not to be considered as an endorsement of any online store - it's just a comparison from which everybody can draw their own conclusions. YesAsia.com, however, should be noted as the preferred supplier of many people (myself included)... |
| 2. | The issue of shipping cost is not addressed since it would be quite different for different areas of the world and for the preferred way of postage (registered mail, air mail, express mail, sea mail, etc.). All prices are converted to US dollars. |
| 3. | It is very important to understand the conditions of the sale fully (is a product new or second-hand, what are the accepted methods of payment, delivery time, shipping costs, etc.) BEFORE you commit yourself to buying anything. |
| 4. | The data below was gathered in 2004-2005 about selected albums, singles and DVDs. Please note that both prices and availability are likely to change. Where there were several items of the same product available, an average price is presented. The examples of these differences are 'Overseas' or 'Japan' versions of the same product and 'new' or 'second hand' items at auctions. |
