HUGE Manga Collection Found At This Sale Anime and manga are super hot items to resell and flip. The manga books in this haul were bought for just $2 each!
That’s some backwards logic. Resellers don’t determine prices. The market does. It’s basic supply and demand. Also, if I didn’t buy these then they more then likely would have went into a landfill. Instead I’m bringing them onto market which increases the supply available which in turn helps lower prices due to competition with other sellers.
@@ReadySetResell Lol I don't care that you bought these to re-sell but to say that if you didn't buy them, no one else would have? Comon. Such a BS statement lmao
@@dann_2016a lot of stuff like this isn't printed anymore. Id donate them or sell them for a lower price or gift them. Like imagine your a highschooler your into managing probably socially awkward and want to read these series and then your mom finding a good price on Facebook Marketplace brings you a complete series of a classic bit of anime history. You'd be extatic
@Himiko Toga it's mostly because of how rare complete sets are. People are always missing random ass volumes that aren't in production anymore. It's why the deluxe editions are such a lifesaver.
That use to happen at Toys R Us with the WWE action figures. I wanted to get a new Wrestling figure, but a 40 year old dude shows up first thing in the morning to purchase them all for resale. What a dirt bag, but I guess you gotta make money somehow
I hate when people seem to only care about the resale value of anything it seems so disrespectful to the hobby. Like to me these are just great books to have and a great find, but to you each book is just a price tag that your gonna throw away to the highest bidder for a quick buck.
So you find book stores and such disrespectful to the hobby as well then? After all they are doing the same thing and reselling books to make a profit.
I know and I KNOW this man doesn't understand how influencel this stuff is like how do you Hold a Original Cobits or Wallflower and just say "yhea its pretty good" Bro these are historic
Cousin found unopened ps1 ps2, xbox and Nintendo games. All being action and horror, it had every silent hill, every fatal fram, final fantasy, resident evil, even rule of rose. Even had opened ones you could play on, and multiple repeats because of the diff platforms. The poor lady didn't even know the worth, he got it all for 500 dollars, I wasn't there for I would've said something because it was her son's that offed himself. It was about a 50k-60k collection, it makes me sad because I truly believed the woman deserved that after his passing.
@@jorgemunguia1930 brodi could have offered more, he knew damn well what he was doing. But, fuck, for the money... can't be super mad. Just would have at LEAST done some kickback after flipping
Sounds like bs tbh. Your cousin just so happened to fall upon a holy grail video game collection and the owner was clueless that like 50 unopened vintage games were valuable? On top of that this collection just so happened to only contain the most valuable games you could possibly think of from that era? Idk I don’t think so.
Back when I was a kid around 7 and living in S.Korea I had a collection of dragon balls from volume 1 to end of Z. I spent the whole year collecting it, and I was excited to read them again and again. One day after school, i decided to read from the start and opened my closet but to my surprise they were all gone. I cried and ask my mom where my books are, and my mother said she simply donated all the volumes to orphanage because we are moving soon. My heart broke to pieces and cried the whole day. Now, after 20 years, I still remember my tragic past of losing the whole collection.
Omg Nooooo... How could she do that without asking ?? 😭. I remember a similar incident that had happened to me but not as traumatizing as yours. My mom threw away my few collectibles like pretty stones and rocks I collected wherever I go and few of my old sketches. Yet it made me very sad. I can imagine what you've felt.
My dad sold his book and comics collection. He made over $60k. He had several series of original copies stored in mint condition. He never creased a book in his life. The rarest book is a tie. He has 2 copies of giant size xmen #1, both graded at 9.6. Stacks upon stacks of mint Xmen comics. He read them once, vacuum sealed them, and stored them. Original artwork from Stan Lee and even a prop from Star Trek he sold for $10k alone. We still have 4 boxes full of collectibles to open
This Market is so sensitive because people don't really want to let go and we Know Japan won't re-print and like the snoobs they are won't let other people print them I do NOT want re-sellers
Remember when you can grab manga and comics for cheap. Maybe I’m old but now people are just trying to bank on anything and everything. People don’t appreciate anything anymore.
Damn! That was one of the earliest anime I remember. The kind where I knew some instances but forgot the name and everything else cause I was tiny! I can't express how happy I am coming across your comment giving me that aha moment! Vision of escaflowne! Finally! I remembered van and hitomi and I couldn't be HAPPIER!
That teal color on the old Fruits Basket volumes is so nostalgic! I never owned them, but it was my gateway manga and the local library had it. Always would beeline to the shelf full of that specific shade of green to check out the next volume. Now I have the full run of the Collector's Edition books on my shelf which are lovely, but I still miss that uniform color
This makes me remember the time I offered to buy a complete set of manga off my big sis for 5 dollars each. She opted for 50 cents a copy from a local used book shop just to spite me. It still galls me to this day.
Would’ve loved to find a Chobits series. It was one of the first anime I’ve ever watched and also one of the anime that got me hooked on anime in general. I know it’s not exactly romance but the romance genre has some hard hitters
I’ve had the full set of Kare Kano since I was around 15 and it’s moved with me a dozen times. Might as well put it in the box with me when my time comes.
I got Alice19th recently myself but for a really good price on mercari. I saw that was one of the titles that was in the bin. I adore Alice19th so much and Yú Watase is one of my favorite mangakas of all time
I remember getting a empty bleach box for the first box set as a graduation gift from my librarian and a couple years later found almost all the manga to go with it at a thrift store and it was a deal that day so all the book at the store were only 50c each
Yeah, some can be especially great. I have a couple rare volumes I could sell for well over $100 each.... but bought for myself... from a seller who didn't realize what they had... so were probably happy getting $10 each.
It’s an estate sale and he flat out said” I came for the books” and walked straight to them like he knew were they were. Was he waiting for someone to die to claim there collection? 😂
It’s an estate sale. They have pictures of the stuff for sale posted on the ad. You can see where stuff you are interested in is located from the photos. It’s not rocket science.
I vividly remember that in early 2023, I went to a garage sale for manga. The woman working there had huge boxes of trending manga that she was trying to get rid of. She said that her daughter collected them, but she moved out and she didn’t need it anymore. I got multiple boxes full of manga for only $100 cad!
Bro so many of those sell really well. I thought I saw marmalade boy and I once sold one of those for like 18 bucks some books have been outa print for so long you can get 60 for a normal one
Saw a fruits basket on top >.< wait my fb and chobits are worth? I got a complete fb and unused journal and dvds and an old kyo bracelet Mom got into tarot Cafe since she collects tarot. Tarot are also good money. Especially gold leaf prints.
The mom finally kicked her 40 yr old son out of the basement and selling his books.

You should try and talk with the people who run the stores and ask if you can't get first dibs they might be nice and let you.
