Heyo,
This might be the wrong thread but I am having a bit of a trouble selling japanese manga I have collected throughout the years. There are a dozens of titles, dozens of pounds in two big boxed and it would not feel right to just throw it away.

JPQueen is gone and I dont have the time and effort it takes to put up every single manga title on EBay or some place like that.

I am currently located in Sweden.

The titles are very mixed, shoujo, shonen, random stuff, child stuff (think it is), etc.

Anyone have any suggestions or maybe interested in buying?

Ebay is the best advice I could give ya. If not, a pawn shop?

or you could have a yard sale and hope your neighbors are anime fans lol

Like I said, EBay is out of question. I already tried that.

Please don't get cocky. Can't see what bothers you with my English. If you don't have any suggestions related to the subject then don't post.

Have you tried listing them as "lots" on eBay?
A "lot" is more than one book in a listing. You could include all of them in one listing or divide them into groups by title, author, subject or whatever seems good to you and make a few different listings.

TK is a moderator who was telling UnknownFactor-6 to try better with his English. He was not talking to you.

Really not tried with the "lots" idea before to be honest. What bugs me most is the shipping costs, they are a lot from here to sending to the world which is awfully annoying compared to other countries shipping costs. That's why an online shop or something would be best, just sending it all in, getting a sum and then I wouldn't have to bother. Doing Ebay would take so much time, putting it up, waiting for possible bids/buys, packing, packing, packing, etc...

*Edit*

I guess there is no idea putting up a list here on ANN forum if anyone is interested? Not sure what the rules say...

@getaman

There is a personal sales forum but you have to be a subscriber to list stuff there. You could subscribe for a few months while you sell your items there. I'm not sure how much traffic it gets. Perhaps someone who has listed there can tell you.
