  1. Connoisseur, from what I understand, Sony is still producing Neige minidisc in Jamaica but you would not be able to place order with Sony. Not sure as to the why but if you are serious about using minidisc into the future, I would continue purchasing all you can afford now online as this could all turn on a dime.
  2. It is now May 2014 and I am still buying minidisc and 1GB HI-MDs via ebay bidding or Amazon.com. Sony 5 pack Premium 80m and 74m are selling for about 20-30 dollars US new and sealed if you can find them as those sales are now scarce. One year ago the same purchase was 15-17 dollars US on ebay. Sony 8 pack color disc with case are extremely scarce and now run as high as 35-45 dollars US (I currently avoid making these purchases). One year ago the cost was 15-20 dollars US on ebay. New and sealed Sony Neige 10 pack 80m and 74m minidisc (made in Jamaica, I believe) are selling for 17-22 dollars US, most disc being shipped from sellers in Japan but a few US sellers on ebay and Amazon.com have supplies in stock here in the US. I also see a few ads for new Victor 80 min 5 or 10 pack minidisc for sale on ebay for about 15-20 dollars US or less. Due to the long life of minidisc there is a market for used minidisc some of which I have also purchased at a lower premium than new and sealed minidisc with no problems from ebay. Most of my used minidisc purchases include cases that hold five minidisc but I do pay a little more as there is a premium for those plastic cases. All my current 1GB HI-MD purchases are used disc purchases averaging about 14-15 dollars US per disc, with me making buys of 4-5 disc from a single seller as far away as Australia. Buying used 1GB HI-MD here in the states now run 21-25 US per disc which I avoid. New 1GB HI-MDs are 40-50 dollars US which I also avoid. I have purchased a number of backup minidisc and HI-MD recorders so I feel I am ready to continue my 15 year run with the minidisc for an indefinite period of time well into the next decade.....long live the minidisc.
