Problems and Solutions.

[ickaimp]

I have a couple of problems.

One:
I have too much manga. About 400 tankubon and 200 (mostly DC, mostly yaoi) doujinshi to be exact. Gut feeling says that we're moving soon, so really would like to see that cut at least in half. It was most of the bulk and weight the last time I moved.

Two:
Japan trip looming at the end of March. *panic, panic* We need money for hotel and transportation. (plane ticket is taken care of)

Solution:
Sell the manga and doujinshi.
Um... will be seeing about getting a list up of manga to see if anyone wants them, seeing as we can't get to the one in LJ memories. (Dogmatix, y'want my YGO?)
But what would people consider being a fair price for manga and doujinshi?

For excellent condition, I asked for 75% of what I originally paid, for good condition 50%. That was - of course - what I didn't sell on Ebay, where I sometimes got more than what I originally paid (but minus the fees I ended up at an average of 75% again, meh)

Anyway - does the flist get first dips? Do you accept Paypal? >D

Yup! ^__^ That's why I posted it here.

Um... I do have a paypal account, just not connected to a bank account right now. Need to work on that... >_

Erk... forgot to mention... that's one of my problems.
Kinda have a mixed lot. Some manga I paid as little as $1 (american), some I've paid as much as $11. If I get it new here, it's between $6-8 dollars.

And I can't bloody well remember which was which. >_

Then go by quality and original price for the manga. And as for doujinshi... I'd try Ebay for those anyway, that probably makes more sense than trying to sell them for a fixed price (girl speaking here who saw doujinshi go off for 50 USD

It's just that the only way I can pay for anything in/from the US is via Paypal. No credit card (they're a lot harder to get here), no money orders without hideous fees etc. >_>

Don't undersell yourself, though, Icka-- ask a fair price (fair for YOU too, I mean, this isn't charity; charging a reasonable price isn't being greedy, you know). If it's worth something, sell it for its worth and don't forget to calculate the postage in too!

So smack the price right in the middle and call it done. I usually pay between $6-12 for 'em on eBay. Unless it's something I want really bad. ^_^ I agree with Ysabet and tdei - if it's worth something extra, or special to you, call it a higher price. *shrugs* Don't think anyone here will begrudge you that.
