Important! I mostly made split purchases/group buys until now with my friends. What I mean by this is that not many people are currently interested in this kind of thing, meaning that price per CD is still high and I can’t even tell you if I’ll purchase it in the end.

When do I pay? / How does it work?

– you choose what CD you’re interested in (by messaging me)
– when required amount of people is met, I message everyone if they’re still interested and provide amount they need to pay
– if every person agrees to pay, I send everyone link to my Ko-Fi
– after I get payments from everyone, I purchase CD and send you link to the files
– if someone isn’t interested anymore, I send you this information and you need to wait again for required amount of people,

You can always DM me if you’re no longer interested UNLESS you already claimed that you’ll pay.

Where to check what CDs are in group buy?

Latest info is in the spreadsheet (link above, this big button).

Can I still get CD that was already bought by other participants before?

Yes, but price will be the same as the one that participants payed (so it’s fair for everyone). Money from old purchases are going to be used to make current group buys cheaper. CDs bought a while ago might have some discounts.

How much do I need to pay?

That depends on how many people are currently interested. We split purchases evenly. So if CD costs 3000 yen and 4 people are interested, we split purchase to 750 yen per person.
For every CD there is minimal amount of people that is needed for me to purchase CD so you always know what price you need to pay (obviously, if more people are interested, you’ll pay less).

What if CD doesn’t have enough interested people?

Nothing I can do. Price of CD per person is made based on how much I can spend on it. If you’re tired of waiting and lose interest, or you got CD from somewhere else, you can always uncheck the box in the spreadsheet.

What if you/someone claim that they’ll pay for a CD, but in the end don’t pay?

When you inform me that you will make a payment (when required amount of people is found) but you don’t do it in the end, you’re banned from split purchases forever. If you have good reason for doing that (I get that one day you can have millions in your bank account and couple hours later your house is on fire) I can temporarily ban you, but next time you’ll need to make payment BEFORE everyone else makes one.
What does that mean for everyone else?
I’ll refund your payment (excluding PayPal fee, sorry) OR if I have enough funds, I’ll just pay for the person who didn’t pay.

Can I pay amount for two people to get CD quicker?

Yup! If you want something like this, I don’t mind it. You can let me know about this anytime before I send you invoice.

What files do I get?

You get the same files as if you’ve bought CD (if they’re .wav files, I compress them to .flac to save space, it doesn’t change anything in sound quality and you can always uncompress them and you don’t lose anything).

Why some CDs from splits are for free for everyone?

The only CDs that are like that are the ones that I bought with my friend/s. You can see in the spreadsheet that there is really small amount of participants.

Can I request CD to be put in the spreadsheet?

Yes, BUT if I’m not interested in it, I won’t be putting any of my money into the split, but obviously I’ll still get the files. In my opinion it might be unfair so keep this in mind.
If you lose interest in this CD, I’ll remove it from the spreadsheet entirely.
You can request through discord.
