Hi all, I just recently made a few purchases on e-bay - a few Japanese CDs (I'm a fan of Utada Hikaru, L'Arc En Ciel and Dragon Ash) and a few Japanese DVDs, for a fairly reasonable price.
There are a number of stores on e-bay (in particular, Asia or US-based sellers) that offer sales (DVDs, CDs, VCDs and more) to international buyers. If anyone is interested in learning how to use e-bay (if you haven't come across it before) or what they can search for, please let me know. Another option is using Amazon, but unless you're happy paying up to 10 times the price, I wouldn't recommend Amazon - I find them highly overrated and overpriced, unless you are searching for a hard-to-find, unique item, in which case you can justify spending the money! I picked up a few DVDs at only about US$10 each from a store based in Hong Kong via e-bay and I find them a great study tool - you can enjoy a movie as well as learning something. I usually watch the movie with my electronic dictionary close by to look up words as they come up. It's a very worthwhile investment for the money. Depending on your level of Japanese - you can get some DVDs with subtitles in Japanese, which is great to be able to READ what is being said. Also, if your native language is Chinese or English, there are also a number of DVDs that have these subtitles also. Hope that helps. If you have any queries, send me an e-mail and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
