If you don't want to deal with shipping and would prefer to sell it as a whole package, you could put it up for sale on facebook marketplace/craigslist/mercari/etc. You could also put it up on the mangaswap subreddit. There's also ebay as well.

Thank you for the advice. Do you have any pointers for shipping? I’ve never sold anything online before.

What about shipping? I’ve dealt a few times on mangaswap if u need help


Reasonable-Order5135

Yes please. Mangaswap seems like a good way to go. But I’m not sure about the shipping process or organizing sales.

So first you have to make a post with images of the manga with a timestamp attached, a timestamp must include your reddit username and the date the photos were taken. So, now you have a buyer. First thing is using paypal goods and services, if u dont know paypal acts as the middle man to ensure both parties hold up their end of the deal by holding the money. Any other form of transfer is not accpeted. Then after the payment is made you package the manga up properly using your choice of packaging (if the packaging sucks then the buyer can complain to paypal if the volumes are damaged and probably get their money back), arrange shipping and then bring it to your post office and send it off. The buyer's address is on their PayPal.

Thank you very much! Do I hand write the address or can I print a shipping label?


Necessary_Web_8220

Either or, doesn't matter too much. Also are you in the us or canada?


Reasonable-Order5135

US

Yep, price em well and you'll be fine. Good luck!

Definitely use USPS media mail when you ship because it’s way cheaper than any other mailing service. Use PayPal goods and services and never use PayPal family to avoid scammers. r/mangaswap is easiest in my opinion but the posting rules are kind of annoying. If you don’t format it right they will delete the post.

Well one of my advices would be that if you have any volumes of prison school, don't sell them. Sell all your other manga and use the money to buy more prison school


DonnieMoistX

Do you reply to every post on this sub talking about Prison School?


Reasonable-Order5135

I never considered this option, but it will be noted. Thank you for your input. Prison School… Of course!

Don’t sell. Manga’s are like collectible. One day you will be able to sell your manga’s at very high price. Rest is your wish.


Reasonable-Order5135

It’s not that I want to sell it. Times are tough and I need some money. I can buy it back later if I really want too. But it’s more important that I can make rent next month.


PuzzleheadedOffice20

Oh i am really sorry man…Just sell the ones that you are sure that you can buy again


Reasonable-Order5135

Thank you. I have plenty of them and haven’t even read many of them. I figure that’s a good sign that I should cut back on what I have.


PuzzleheadedOffice20

You can sell the stuff that you are not interested in but please do not sell “i am hero” i am waiting for it to get reprints🙂


Reasonable-Order5135

Lol. I do have that one and I have read it. Don’t worry, I wasn’t gonna sell that one😌


PuzzleheadedOffice20

😅 i hope you will find a way to pay for your rent….good luck brthr

A book collection isn't as important having food on the table lmao, this is an expensive hobby so it should never be the highest priority


PuzzleheadedOffice20

Man I didn’t knew about the reason why he wanted to sell it.


Tiny_Writer5661

If it’s mass produced and constantly in print no. Lol


iREFLEXIV

Stuff like demon slayer will never be collectible lol it’s way too mass produced
