maderrSo I've mentioned this before but never really had to stoop to it. I may now, just b/c if I'm going to get my plans off the ground I need $$$ to do it, and I think it's obvious by this point that pizza isn't cutting it.
My manga collection is pathetic; I'm too poor to collect as much of it as I would like. If I'd made it to Japan like I wanted this wouldn't be a problem but I won't go down that bitter road today...
Anyway, I was going to put some of my manga up for sale on ebay but I thought I'd try here first. For now I've got 1-9 of d.n.angel, 1-6 of rurouni kenshin, and (though it hurts me) 1-6 of Cantarella to sell. I'm not sure if anyone actually wants these, but they're the ones I know I can manage to part with for now. I have some single volume stuff as well, but that requires my going through it all to get the names and all down. Probably do that tomorrow. If you want any of the ones above though, lemme know.
***update***
d.n.angel has been sold.

Date: 2004-03-16 11:06 am (UTC)Ah, sorry. I guess details would be handy. It's a series by You Higuri, I think her latest. It's mostly het but there are scads of slashy moments and her art is gorgeous - you may know Ludwig or Gorgeous Carat? You can read more about it here (http://www.mangabonbons.net/au2/higuri_2.html#cant). She's one of my top three mangaka.
Prices I'll negotiate, mostly I wanted to see interest. Canta would go for about $36.00, DNAngel I'd like $40.00 but I'm flexible. Kenshin is rather worn, I'd probably give it up for about $20.00

Date: 2004-03-16 03:25 pm (UTC)I hate spending money but I'm such a sucker for used stuff. Hell, I'll never get an opportunity like this again and I've been meaning to read some new manga cause it's been ages since I've read any.
I'll buy it ^_^ I may or may not have the money just yet, but I will soon-ish if I don't.

Date: 2004-03-17 06:21 am (UTC)Just email me then when you're ready, and I'll send you whatever info. Thank you!

Date: 2004-03-17 08:01 am (UTC)There's no problem, my friends are just very awesome friends. 'Sides, the one you're buying isn't the one she was upset about.
Short stories for $5.00?

Date: 2004-03-17 10:04 am (UTC)Well, some artists do comissions. For a few dollars they'll send you a sketch or something. I'm not sure if you draw but I know you write, so you could do a literary version. For a few dollars you'll write a story for them, within doable limits, of course.

no subject
Date: 2004-03-18 07:35 am (UTC)I really like the idea, I'll have to see what I can do about setting it up. It sounds like fun.
Japanese. I think I'd die if someone stateside put her work in English.
no subject
Date: 2004-03-18 07:58 pm (UTC)And damn. I can't read japanese. Nor do any of my friends. I'm tempted to buy them just for the art... And especially since this really would be the only time I'd ever consider buying these.
But then I also really want to buy Warning: Contains Language and it's the exact same price. ^^;; Damnit, but Gaiman always wins. Sorry =/ But I'm sure someone else will want to buy.
no subject
Date: 2004-03-18 08:04 pm (UTC)Heh, no worries. I'dve gone for Gaiman too. Easy.
Oh, Miss Derr!!!

Date: 2004-03-17 06:22 am (UTC)The only thing that really upsets me is that Gomes did give me some of them...but beyond that two of the series are soon to be (or have been)released in english, so I'd just be buying them twice. The other series I never really read, though I did adore the artwork. I hate Gomes is probaby mad at me, but otherwise I really am okay with it.

Yargh, manga... XD
Date: 2004-03-16 09:01 pm (UTC)I would just donate money if I could. ^^;; (But I think you know my financial story already. -__-)
I could donate some cards, though. I have like at least 50 sets of Digimon movie cards and they sell (at a complete set of 12) on eBay for a bit. Right now the auction I have up is up to $4.25 and it has about 12 hours left on it.
I don't need that many sets of these cards, even to sell, so you can try selling some on eBay if you want. If I end up using your webspace, consider it bartering. ^o^ If not, consider it a ...Saint Patrick's day gift? XP
Re: Yargh, manga... XD
Date: 2004-03-17 06:18 am (UTC)Eep! You don't have to do that! Honestly I've got too much webspace, even taking into account the space I'll need and the stuff I've set aside for another friend of mine. I mean if you're really serious I wouldn't say no, but surely you could use the money all those cards would bring in?
Re: Yargh, manga... XD
Date: 2004-03-17 04:07 pm (UTC)If I was to sell all 50 sets, people would begin to think that, since one person can own that many, they can't be all that rare, and the market price would go down.
So... yeah.
Besides, I'd rather not take from anyone I can't give anything in return to. XD
Re: Yargh, manga... XD
Date: 2004-03-17 04:09 pm (UTC)Drat, she uses logic.
If you really are game, I would appreciate it. Consider it a bargain!
Re: Yargh, manga... XD
Date: 2004-03-17 04:20 pm (UTC)Yes, I do. It's a curse. XD
Okay~ ^.^ I can just send you a few sets of the cards. You can email your address to me or something.
The thing is, this is also a sort of gamble, they might or might not sell. I've been able to sell them each time I've posted 'em, but that was only twice. ^^;;;
They should sell, though. Maybe not for that much, but the set I sold just this evening ended at $5.50
Re: Yargh, manga... XD
Date: 2004-03-18 07:55 am (UTC)I'll email you just as soon as I catch up on my mail and lj land and all.
I realize it's a risk, but even if they don't sell I appreciate your help. It means a lot.
Re: Yargh, manga... XD
Date: 2004-03-19 11:54 am (UTC)Oh, and I'm not sure what email I have under LJ. It might be the one I lost my password to. ^^;;; I hope you hadn't emailed me yet, because I didn't get an email. ^^;;;
Email me at: selurnis@hotmail.com (that one is working) XD
Not to be a complete bitch but....
Date: 2004-03-16 09:26 pm (UTC)Re: Not to be a complete bitch but....
Date: 2004-03-16 10:25 pm (UTC)Yes, some of it is. Which I hate with a passion. That's why I never did it before, but if this is what it take to get me the fuck out of here like everyone is always yelling at me to do, then I'll just risk you hating me forever and do it. Because quite frankly I'd rather see someone do the same thing with something I gave them if they were in this position.
So I'm a loser, what else is new?

Will someone sell me a taser???
I'll buy the fucking Manga and give it to Derr as a gift, then we'll all be happy.
Well...
Date: 2004-03-17 04:00 pm (UTC)Re: Well...
Date: 2004-03-17 04:02 pm (UTC)oh lord please don't do that. the last thing the world needs is for Allie to own a taser.
Re: Well...
Date: 2004-03-17 04:05 pm (UTC)Thanks for the offer, that is really sweet of you, but I'll just use telepathy and a high heel.
Spanking of gifts...
Date: 2004-03-17 04:13 pm (UTC)I didn't want to send it again, though. With all the shipping I've paid on it, I can just buy you a second set of presents. >__<;;;
So~ Since I'm going to be (hopefully) going to Taiwan and Japan this summer, hopefully I can go visit you and I'll give you something in person. ^.^
Re: Spanking of gifts...
