Metal_Warrior Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Hello i had this experience today: i received a cd that i won 1 month ago, only to discover that it is the russian, cd-maximum version. In the description it was stated that it's a "european import". I am completely dissatisfied with this fact, and it's stated clearly on the CD that it should not be sold outside Russia and the Baltic states. Besides, on the ebay page of the item it is stated as item location "uk", while my cd was shipped from Russia. can i claim a refund for this? I never opened the cd, it's still sealed.

HighNDryRulz Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Two Ebay sellers, Nitro music and Selling on Adrenalin (or similar names), are the same people who run the NuclearHell website. They sell Baltic State CDs. Personally, I have no problem with that, having bought a good number of CDs from them in the past. Generally, the prices are lower, the quality is good, and often there are bonus tracks that are not available in the states. I am more interested in the music than where the CD is from. I know there are many on this board who would disagree with me because they are collectors or because they have problems with the legality of these CDs (especially artists like Blue Charvel), but that is where I stand at this time. Personally, if the item listing says "import," but does not say where it is from, suspect that it is one of these CDs. If it says "Eastern European import," it IS a Baltic State CD. When in doubt, email the seller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal_Warrior Posted January 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 it's "selling on adrenaline" indeed what do you propose me to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Planet Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 it's "selling on adrenaline" indeedwhat do you propose me to do? Email the seller and explain the situation and your feelings about the cd origins. Maybe the seller will be willing to work things out with you.....

Email the seller and explain the situation and your feelings about the cd origins. Maybe the seller will be willing to work things out with you..... Their shipping is pretty high. It was probable about $8 if I remember right, and they won't refund that after all is said and done, not to mention the $$$ you'll spend on shipping it back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swazi Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 I'd put it in the books as "lesson learned" and pay for and keep the CD. Don't worry about the quality ... it will be very good. Nitro Music does not ship to most countries in Europe (Germany) and there is a good reason why ... ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Gold Donors headbanger4life Posted January 4, 2008 2023 Gold Donors Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 While I prefure US, Japanese and European release, I do have a few of these. I too learned my lesson the hard way my purchasing the "import" without clarifying where it was from. I have not had any problems with them though. The sound is good and the artwork is professional.

Dave Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 There is alot of them selling the Russian cd's on eBay again........Just check out Richie Kotzen "Into The Black"....every second one is a Russian copy and I even think it may be the same seller under 2 different names Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now there is none.......I wonder if the record company may have anything to do with that ??????? This happens often, one minute there is a heap of them, next minute they are gone only to resurface at a later date and usually under a new eBay I.D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glam_junkie Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Probably works our cheaper buying direct from their site... considering that shipping is cheaper if you buy more than 2 cds. http://www.nuclearhell.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhodeislandrock Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 I just bought two CDs on Ebay that turned out to be Russian issues: Seller = dd_records WASP - Dominator (Demolition/Rockwrox Inc.) Akira Kajiyama & Joe Lynn Turner - Fire Without Flame (AOR Heaven/Mystic Empire) Both CD are sealed, the seller was located in Las Vegas, the prices were competitive, and the feedback was very good. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that the auction did list the Russian label with the main label. I'm chalking it up as a lesson learned and I will have to do my homework from now on.

infinity1971 Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I won House of Lords - World Upside Down from Selling on Adrenalin awhile back. Was a russian release. Oh, well, I bought it for a friend. The only thing I really didn't like was that it took almost a whole month to get it. So, it came after Christmas...urgh....
