I normally wouldn't bother with this OT thread 
(which you should have pointed out in the first 
place).  But since you're risking misleading 
others (and because I'd feel really ill if any 
other anime fans makes the same mistaken 
assumptions as you did) before doing your 
research...

Lady Bug:

Most anime stores in North America carry ONLY 
the gray-market bootleg versions of anime 
soundtracks on the SonMay (SM) or EverAnime 
labels (including Anime Asylum).  It's because 
the authentic Japanese imports are more 
expensive and more difficult to stock (they are 
usually limited to 1-2 pressings only).

The person you're endorsing is obviously selling 
bootlegs, even though he's trying to sucker 
uninformed people like you by cutting off the 
bottom of his CD cover scans (which would have 
displayed the SM or EverAnime logos, absolute 
proof that they're bootlegs).

The following links that were previously 
provided to you (by Tralfaz, who does really 
know what's really going on) will tell you the 
TRUE value of official AUTHENTIC Japanese CD 
releases.  And I'll even show you how to tell:

CD Japan: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/
Amazon Japan: http://www.amazon.co.jp

These are direct retailers from Japan, and their 
prices reflect the actual MSRP retail prices of 
authentic Japanese CD releases in Japan.  
Examine the prices not only in dollars but 
especially in yen.  Perform the exchange rate 
conversions and you'll see yourself that full 
albums soundtracks cost at least $20-30 USD.  If 
you're buying anything new for much less, 
consider yourself a sucker who just bought 
bootlegs.

Anime Jungle: http://jungle-scs.co.jp/en/

Anime Jungle is a retailer that specializes in 
pre-owned merchandise, including authentic 
Japanese CD's.  You probably can't find prices 
much lower than theirs (unless on auction).  If 
you do find regular shrink-wrapped in-stock CD's 
at lower prices in a retail store, it's a safe 
bet that they're bootlegs.

Yahoo Japan Auctions: 
http://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/

This (and maybe E-Bay) is probably the only way 
you'll find authentic Japanese releases for the 
price ranges you have been hoping for.  And 
they'll be pre-owned, not new.

You shouldn't believe that just because someone 
tells you that they go to Japan and stuff all 
the time, that they got the inside track on 
getting official releases.  They can go to Japan 
all they like, but what they're selling isn't 
the real deal.  The only way they're telling the 
truth is that they're getting the bootlegs from 
a contact in Japan (but they are still bootlegs).

The only retailer I've ever known to sell 
official soundtracks for anything close to what 
you're hoping for was TokyoPop (which was a 
major distributor, not just some little anime 
shop), and they went out of the retail business 
long ago.

Of course, I can't change your mind if you 
really feel that strongly about the store you're 
endorsing, but hopefully this will set the 
record straight for those who are willing to 
investigate the truth for themselves.
