Default Bon Jovi SHM-CD's. Are they worth it?
New to posting on forum, but long time reader.

Has anyone bought the Japan SHM-CD's? Is the sound quality actually better than the 98 remasters? Are they worth it? Also, have you loaded them into an ipod? Does it still sound better?

Just seems like a scam to me, but still very nice packaging.

They dont have a big market outside Japan as not may people want to pay $35
for a CD. I havent noticed any difference in sound quality , I have like about4-5 of them.
The packaging is nice and CD supposed to last longer than regular CDs

If you're going to compress them to MP3 anyway then it's a waste of money.

If I have the cash to spare, I'd get them, but I don't, so I won't.

Good point about compressing them. I bought the "Tour Box" from Japan. Dude had it for $99 free shipping on ebay. Every Jovi album on SHM for $99 hope at least it sounds a little better...beats the hell out of $299....plus AAA on DVD....

Did you buy from the person with a low feedback number? If so, have you gotten it yet? I'd be very interested to hear how the transaction went/goes. I've been tempted, but I usually don't buy something that's more than a few bucks from overseas if the person isn't a long-established seller.

Terri- I felt the same way as you...saw a guy selling for only $60 but from Hong Kong with low feedback...so I steered clear...this had positive feedback over 1,000 buys and was from California (im from jersey)...so i gave it a shot...i also emailed him and asked to clarify that this was what it seemed to be...he said it was.....just won today...i'll let you know how it goes...

That $60 seller was exactly the one I was concerned about. Good to hear that there was another person with a good price. I'll have to search a little more. I hope your transaction goes smoothly! I'd definitely love to hear the final outcome.

Definitely! Would you be willing to PM me the seller's eBay user ID?

Sure. However, all you have to do is just search ebay "Completed Listings" for Bon Jovi "Japanese Box Set" You'll see it up there. Just ended today. $99.
