pennilee | Anime Sales Post (updated 7/18/13)

Hi, I'm here to sell my small collection due to a waning interest in merchandises. It might take me up to 1.5 weeks to get your item shipped, especially if your order is large/has huge items so I need to a bigger mailer/wrap it up slower. ^^; All sales are final~

I'm shipping from the US to a couple people that want to clarify. :)

*I accept Paypal; please pay in USD. :)
*The default holding time is 3 days unless specified.
*Serious buyers please, but don't hesitate to ask!
*I will not be held responsible if your items get lost/damaged during shipping!
*I am able to ship worldwide in addition to domestic!
*I will drop you a PM when I've shipped it. :)

Here is my feedback.
You can also email me @linashley14@ymail.com with the items interested. :)

All doujins are in excellent/mint condition!

Several hundred dollars |D I mostly bought from western fandom, but often couldn't find what I was looking for and eventually went to deputies. But western fandom back in the heydays of Hetalia (~2009-2010) priced doujinshi for that fandom very high. I know of sellers who were based in Japan (not dropping names, here) that priced Hoshitamago's anthologies at $90-130 a piece. There was literally no control that would bring down pricing. You would have popular artists' (mostly for USUK) doujin being priced at least $25-50 or 60 a piece, depending on page count and illustrations, without shipping.

/really fond and terrible memories

/so it wasn't really hard to spend over a hundred dollars on doujinshi in a week. That was, like, four doujin plus shipping. I'm literally swamped in doujin right now because I never sell, oops. Everything I sold now would be at a huge loss xD

But doujinshi are like graphic novels--they're read over and over again! It's an activity, not just for display~! (...In fact, I would not display most of the doujin I own.)

The payment plan was something I really had to push for, trust me, but it was there. If you ask nicely enough, they'll push back payment time for you (or ask for a deposit, but they charge a fee for that...), but you really have to be on top of your own purchases--otherwise, fees, fees, fees. And some miscommunication between me and customer service and the shipping department and just lots of clarifying emails... It was ~$343 total to ship all that, ahaha, sigh. It actually was probably ~$400 for all the doujin I got xD Only a good 20 pounds were actually copybon, many of which were given out for free during the actual conventions. If only I could just fly there myself and get to be more choosy, a~ha!

/but I don't consider myself a very sophisticated collector

/all my doujin are overflowing onto stocks on my bedroom floor because every inch has been used /going to organize all this sooner or later, I hope ;u;a

♥

//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

O_O oh my. You have a /lot/ of doujins. XD

Organize! Maybe I'll purchase something <3 lolz...
