I buy SHM CD and BluSpec CD's (above 24bit on sound on any player)
from Asia.
The owners put a low cost for the CD.
So it should be $40 or $50
they put $9.

I did buy one from Japan
the owner phoned me and said from an email
click the Royal Mail link
pay £20 Import tax
Then it arrived the next day.
