//faints Well, if I combine all of what I've bought from anime fandoms it'd equal about $500, give or take $100. ;u; Yeah, Japan has all the stuff, but tbh buying from Western fandom today usually costs less, so. ;u; It's Japan now with the deputies that are costly. (5-10% comm fee [for what you're using], domestic + intl shipping, bank fee, etc)
You're kidding. An anthology for $130. If I were there I;d spit at their feet and call them money-sucking bastards; hell, they probably bought the book for like 1000 yen.
Yeah, it would be a huge loss, but if you don't sell it at all it'd be a greater loss, unless the fandom gains more attention and thus, more needs for doujins and willingness to buy them at a higher price. It kind of is rising now, what with the new season, so. :) Maybe you can sell a couple at a watered-down price just to see? lol
//see I consider buying doujins in a way to be an investment in the fandom- since fandoms aren't stocks, buying in a fan-less fandom isn't going to get you anywhere, so I usually buy doujins that I like and can resell it back at a decent price... see? XD
;u; I don't read them over and over again, that's the problem. I just push them into the shelves after I'm done flipping through it, with one exception being Tiny Garden and some of hakoniwa's doujins and another book and a copybon. XD
