Biohazard Outbreak Original Soundtrack
 

Hi there,

I'm currently searching for a seller of the "Biohazard Outbreak Original Soundtrack" (KICA-1324: Biohazard Outbreak Original Soundtrack - VGMdb). I received a copy from the score yesterday which I ordered from the Amazon.com marketplace, but it turned out that the seller was dealing with bootlegs. So the copy is going straight back to him in a few days (after I have enough information from the Amazon.com customer service how to handle this there).

I usually buy my VG scores on YesAsia, Play-Asia and VGMWorld and never ever had a problem with these. But sadly the Biohazard score is not available anymore from these online shops, so I have to search for other places that still have the score in stock.

eBay: Bad idea, there was my first bootleg experience and eBay really doesn't care a bit about what the seller ships to the customer, it's all legal from their point of view as long as cash is flowing... No thanks...

Amazon Marketplace: We already had that, I think I currently refrain from using it again for VGM purchases.

Any ideas for some good shops? I need international shipping btw.

I'm also willing to buy used copies if they're complete (intact booklet, obi, etc. - you know what I mean).

In addition to VGMWorld and Play-asia (which you already shop at)
The other top ranked stores are CDJAPAN.co.jp and Amazon.CO.JP
(new from the store itself, not user marketplace)

Between those 4 stores, that gets you coverage over most all NEW-release JP vgm.

But when you're looking a few years past the release date, such as KICA-1324 in this case, then Yahoo Japan Auctions is the place to look.

The "General VGM CD" category is here

Just search it every couple of days (name or catalog number) and it'll turn up for sale eventually.

Hi Carl, thanks for your reply.

I have found the score on Otaku.com (in stock), and Chudah is listing the shop under "Affiliates" - so I assume it's safe to order stuff there, right?

I'm still waiting for the Amazon marketplace seller to reply so I get my refund.

If you can manage to get a front and back scan of the bootleg copy, we can put it up on VGMdb (as a special bootleg entry) to make it easier for people to identify.

I dunno. I only removed the shrink wrap and tried to get off the cardboard box around the CD casing. That's when I saw the Miya Records logo and put everything back into the envelope.

I can create scans of the cardboard box but I don't wanna twiddle much more with the casing (the box is very tightly attached to the case - another sign of bad fabrication).

Would these scans suffice or do you also need booklet/cover scans?

Yes, Otaku.com is a safe shop also, so go ahead if they have one onhand!

Just to let you know: I ordered the score from Otaku.com (plus the Seiken Densetsu 2 OSV).
I must say that this shop is really fast! Quite impressed, going to order more from there.

And I still have the bootleg lying around, but still haven't found the time (and device) to make a scan.
