Wow, what a conscientious seller. You get one of the most interesting (and under rated) shows of the last decade or so, and it's for free to boot! |

I think he was saying he got it shipped for free, not the whole thing for free. Unless I misread what was being said.

Alien Nine for free is badly over priced in my opinion. I tried both the manga and anime and got badly grossed out by both.

sorry, I meant to write "+ free shipping", the plus sign didn't register.
I paid not a cent for it. I love the show. I find the contrast of the super cute girl characters and the disturbing and gross content to be fascinating; and the way it's all analogous to hitting puberty makes it doubly so. |

In Alien Nine, one girl is voted in to something she hated because she is not popular enough to object. The other two sign up for something they don't understand. Their lives are basically ruined. The teachers who should be defending them are abetting the situation. Hard times in elementary school.

Adapted post from the purchases thread:
I was able to snag Ninja Scroll (TV) - DVD Complete Series Tin for $15.99. It was listed as Ninja Scroll, had multiple photos of the Ninja Scroll DVDs, cases, and the tin, but the description of the item simply said 'Appleseed DVD, 2-Disc Set, Limited Collector's Edition' which likely dissuaded people from buying it (seeing as how they likely thought the unusually low price meant that Appleseed was actually the item being sold). Being the risk taker that I am, I pounced on it anyway knowing that $16 was no sweat off my back and would be easily refunded if it was in fact the wrong item. The seller then contacted me to apologize for the error in the listing and stated that the auction was NOT for Appleseed, but that it was indeed for the Ninja Scroll tin and to see if I still wanted it. I happily replied in the affirmative

In Massachusetts I found a store that sells old and used japanese manga for 50 cents a book. I picked up a bunch of Inuyasha, Ranma 1/2, Dr. Slump, Evangelion, and much more for very cheap. I take it that they don't view them as rare or important there, but I was able to also pick up some Legend of Zelda and Dragon Quest 4Koma graphic novels, as well as some very old Yugioh guide books about cards and video games there. It's sweet.

One that I should've, but didn't take advantage of: one dealer at a convention I was at last year had Lucky Star 1-6 and the art box for a mere $60, when Vol. 6 alone sells for considerably more!
And one from a long time ago: I ordered Texhnolyze Vol. 1 + artbox for a fairly average price (below MSRP at least) off an Amazon seller, and discs 2-6 were mysteriously included. This was back in ~2006 before Geneon shut down, so it wasn't out of print or anything. Still a steal of a deal compared to the going rates for Geneon's boxed set or the singles, though. |

Too many bargains to list. While job training this past year I visited local pawn shops in hopes of some good deals. There were dvd's in the normal places but on the top shelf were some box sets. After looking at several anime box sets I decided to pick up several of them without knowing the prices. I ended up getting several box sets for 2 dollars. Apparently there were two guys that just thought they were regular movies. Dragonaut-The Resonance complete series, Xenosaga-The complete series, and Devil May Cry-complete series. Recently I have picked up two volumes of Sailor Moon from a local just closed down pawn shop for a dollar a piece. Sailor Moon S-Collection VI, and Sailor Moon Super S Pegasus Collection VII. Completing these of course is impossible but for a dollar. Also recently snagged Record of the Lodoss War Complete collection for 2 dollars. At a local used movie and book store I was able to grab FLAG vol. 2 for six bucks and volume 5 of Scrapped princess for about the same price.
