ickaimpI 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?

Date: 2005-02-15 08:16 am (UTC)For doujinshi, the price will vary a great deal depending on the series, supply and demand. I generally pay $10-$20 for a doujinshi on Ebay, but you might find that flooded markets will cause some to sell for less. My biggest tip is that, if you want to sell your doujinshi, mark them WELL. Give series, pairings, a rough plot summary, and at least one internal picture in addition to the cover. Doing that should about double the sale price that you get. If you sell em on Ebay, avoid words like "hentai" that get auctions and users banned, but be sure to mark explicit ones. The word "Explicit" itself seems the most popular way to do that.
Now, for the manga. Is it Raw or English or both? I think the English stuff will probably sell better, but 've little idea of the selling price for either. However, I again might buy some from ya, if you had anything you thought I'd like.
Oh, BTW, I do kinda crave owning ONE really funny LOTR yaoi doujinshi. If you happen to have one you'd like to part with..... Sugar Darlin, featuring Aragorn in a wedding dress is my favorite of the ones I've seen.
