Title says it all.

I'm currently in need of cash and I have to resort to selling my beloved Manga collection >.> It won't fetch me exactly a good sum too since it'll most likely be sold @ half or a third of the original purchased price.

So I was wondering if any of you @ BakaBT have ever sold your beloved Manga/Anime or any type of collection for fast cash.

I sold half of my DVD collection and most of my anime collection off to help pay for my DSLR. A little painful, but I'm having to learn to be less of a pack rat now, I have faaaaar too much stuff :/

I sold my comic book (not manga) collection a few years back. It was around 1000 comics, with alot of first editions. I bought a car with the money I got.

I also sold my baseball card collection for a nice chuck of cash.

Oh damn, thats a really low price. PS3 Games are really expensive too. I'm selling my books over internet forums.

It's normal trade in value, with none of the trade in bonus's then they slash an extra 20% off the final trade-in value

Even though I've bought a few manga I didn't really like, I'm not going to sell them. I'm the type that purchases from used bookstores but never sells back.

Ah, the digital age is so nice.

no its just how those places work, if they gave you like 30 bucks for a recent game they wouldnt make enough money. Thats why you dont sell games to them you trade them if anything

Put down the cubensis now, man!

30$ for even one sold ps3 game is quite low tho, well compared to swedish prices.

And you get pretty much nothing for 12$, so, big price difference?

shabutie · « **Reply #17 on:** August 08, 2010, 04:54:41 PM »

I've sold a bunch of PS2/Xbox games I'm really sad I sold (Contra: Shattered Solider and Otogi: Myth of Demons come to mind)... but my collections now have been building up.

failboat · « **Reply #18 on:** August 08, 2010, 05:01:45 PM »

I have a hard time letting go of all my stuff, so I've never really sold anything big.

If i don't want it, then I'd rather give it away to someone who i know which needs it.

And nor have i ever had a real urge to get something special, when it comes to anime and manga, then i just download it or read it through the iphone, some games can be pirated, while at the same time i can still afford all of the games which i really want.

I've got a huge pile of stuff which has just been in my room for ages, i do never use it, but i so don't want to sell it, because its my stuff.

I will for example never touch my silly games collection, never use that electric guitar, nor all the expensive branded skateboarding parts, but i cant let it go.

Thats about 63 Swedish Krona according to a online currency calculator. 6 books.
