Up on Buyoyo. HK$621 (~US$80) shipped via Air Mail to the States. No clue if this will stick around for awhile or be a repeat of Dislocation, where Buyoyo jacked up the price way up at some point, presumably due to demand.

OLD WELL seems quite popular and selling fast, similar to DISLOCATION.

Thanks for the heads up. I went ahead and ordered a copy. I did find a copy of Dislocation on Goofish, albeit at a markup. I'd prefer to avoid dealing with that headache again.

Wow! I discovered buyoyo today and saw Old Well available on Blu-ray at the top of the page - immediately set up an account and placed an order. I hope they release the new restoration of Yellow Earth and A City of Sadness at some point.

I decided to go the buyoyo route for this release instead of Media Psychos. It's the first time I am using them, too

I'm very happy with my buyoyo purchase.

Old Well arrived today in pristine condition. It was very well packed, shipped from Hong Kong.

I was really struggling to afford these releases when buying through Media Psychos. Buying through buyoyo was about half the price of what I was paying MP, so I can comfortably get them by this route.

I ordered Across the Furious Sea from Buyoyo the other day, together with one older release (Love in a Puff). Hopefully I'll get them, because what was supposed to be my first purchase from them - Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains - got cancelled.

Do you know if they are IOSS registered?
