^This is the package itself. It cost $80 to ship...because it weighed about 9 pounds and had to be shipped EMS. XD (sorry about the big black splotches - I'd rather not have internet pedophiles stealing my personal info :P)
^This is the box upon opening the lid. Everything is packed nicely, thanks to either Ohta or the seller. I'll give the credit to Ohta since he's a cool dude and bid on the auction for me, haha.
^Here's all the CDs unpacked and stacked up. 55 in all.
^And sorted in stacks. The left stack is CDs I didn't have already. Middle stack is CDs I already had. Right stack is doubles from within the box.

The auction ended at 8000yen (about $80). With Ohta's middleman fees and the seller's shipping fee, the total without shipping to the US was $120. Add in shipping, and it comes out to $200. That's a little less than $4 per CD, and a little over $2 per if you don't include shipping. All of them are releases from 2002 or before, so I suppose that's not quite as good of a deal as if they were stuff from 2003 to present...but they're all in good condition, and I can sell/trade the ones I already have (which I'll be doing very soon - I already had a decent-size pile of stuff to get rid of before this monstrosity arrived XD). I'll most likely be doing that in a thread over at H!O, by the way - I'll make note of that here as well, for those who don't regular the forums and may want to make me an offer I can't refuse. ;)
All in all, I'd say this is a pretty good way to get a running start on your H!P collection (or, if you're already well on your way, to give it a quick boost and get some leverage to work with in the H!P selling/trading community). It's obviously a fairly large chunk of cash to drop in one shot, but I think it's worth it for anyone who enjoys collecting H!P stuff, or who wants to start doing so.
Now...NO MORE SPENDING UNTIL ANIME EXPO, DAMMIT. >.>

Woah! Your lucky that box didn't end up at my house. :P
But seriously, I wish I had those! Especially the Coconuts Musume CD's. Lucky!
Damn this is a great idea. This is like the old random boxes of comics I used to buy, you get some crap and doubles but some stuff you'd never think of buying.
