Where's a good place to get a good guess on how much doujinshi sells for? I used to use EBay but since they started charging more, I've seen less doujinshi show up there
( Read more... )
The two places I've been getting my doujinshi from lately are Yahoo!Japan and JPQueen.com. The former, I try not to spend more than roughly $10 per item because I get slammed with a giant commission fee from my proxy otherwise, and I've seen auctions upwards for $40 there, but at jp queen they seem to have more... normal pricing, I suppose? Usually anywhere from $2.50 to $24+, depending on rarity / size / series / what have you. Most of their stuff won't be more than, say, $15 per item. It's also tons easier to navigate.
As for shipping, I don't know how much I can help there, since anything from those two places are shipped from Japan, and the only doujinshi I can find in my eBay history had free shipping OTL
I took a gander at JPQueen (ironically XD) to see if I could find one of the YYH doujinshi posted above, but didn't see it there. I'd swear that if I didn't have these in my hands, they didn't exist @_@
Ahh. I know that some of the ones I have used to go for 20$ a piece (some of them nearly 75$), but i really don't know if that's the case anymore >.< And I don't want to over or under charge >.<
...$2.50!? Wow... o.o They don't seem to have most of which I'm looking for so I have to take another look @_@ Very easy to navigate thus far o.o
I totally understand not wanting to undercharge for something you initially paid a lot for.
For what it's worth, here's Y!Japan's Yu Yu Hakusho doujin listing. It's all in moonspeak, but there's a Rinkya toolbar up there for ya with a translation feature, yen to dollar converter, and a search engine in case you wanted to check anything else out. I didn't take a very close look at the auctions, but perhaps you'll be able to find some of your rarer stuff there.
$2.50 on their sale stuff, mostly. I picked up some anthologies a while back for that much, haha XD;; I don't typically go looking for expensive doujinshi that I'm going to want to blow a ton of money on, but I think the most expensive thing I've come across so far on JPQueen was 40-something dollars.
*nods* Though, I do understand that stuff like this has the chance of going up and down quite easily.
Thanks! XD Looked through that, too. Why are my DJs like.. invisible? XD Sheesh! Thanks <3 Thanks so much.
Ooooh. LUCKY! *nods* I don't blame you. I was careful with how much I spent on things and only spent more if it was rare or something i really wanted (+rare). I don't remember the most I paid, though.
I'm not exactly sure on standard pricing but hey, talk to my friend mature She sells mangas and stuff for a living and is way more knowledgeable on it.
All my stuff, except for the Yami no Matsuei and the Bleach was ebay. Those exceptions was from the local Anime Vegas con or Anime Expo.
I also like that yours are all your main fandoms of YGO and YYH. My doujins consist of:
1 Bleach: Ishida/Ichigo (given to me as a present) 1 The World Ends With You: Hanekoma x Neku (need more doujins of my favorite game evar~) 1 Kuroshitsuji: Grell x Sebastian (KuroShi OTP) 3-4 YuGiOu: Yami x Yuugi 10+ Digimon: Taichi x Yamato, Daisuke x Ken (doujin fandom max level here) 3 Yami no Matsuei: Muraki x Tsuzuki, Hisoka x Tsuzuki, Muraki x Tsuzuki/I think Tatsumi x Tsuzuki as well for that last one.
Also, why is it that it's so much easier to find yaoi doujins than yuri? I have hardcore yuri fandom of Strawberry Panic, Kasimasi ~Girl meets Girl~, and Utena. Oh well, I'm not really useful this, just chatty since we don't talk nearly as much as we used to.
Oooh. Mine were EBay, A-Kon, AnimeFEST, Anime Boston (I'm certain I got one or two from there...), livejournal and... I think that's it >.>; And what I have up here is probably 1/3 of what I have. Or at least close to half, maybe.
XD Yeah. YGO and YYH fill up my doujinshi with... I think only two Naruto... =X
Is there really not that much doujins of TWEWY?
XD Niiiice. Wow.
...y'know, I'm not sure. It seems to be more Yaoi, then Het (or Gen - depends on the fandom) and then Yuri.
... It's also strange that those that you mentioned wouldn't have that many? Huh. Though, Yuugioh has some Yuri. Just... not much.
Naw, it's okay. I'm not very active socially lately and such. So I don't mind commenting here. Just sorry that sometimes I may be quick to respond and other times... not so much.
*still has to draw that TWEWY stuff for you* //didn't forget.
LOL! Well thus far, the only Bakura-related one I'm thinking of selling is Route 666. Just because it's fairly short and yeah >.> Like 10 pgs or something? But it's thiefshipping =D (Malik's on the back. Looking adorable, to me.)
The style in that one is like... spot on, I think, too.
I should point out with that doujin that --
It's got some Sensui and Itsuki talking to each other (obvs I can't read Japanese sooooo >.>)
Starts with Raizen licking and biting Yuusuke's neck and... it seems like he's got parts of him that taste good?
Panels of those two.
Then the next part has what looks like Koenma thinking often about Sensui and Itsuki? With panels dedicated to them (like the "arms around the other" panel and such things.
The doujin itself appears to be 43 pages and it's the smaller in size one *nods*
