I don't know Japanese, but do sometimes, out of curiosity, look at mangas on www.amazon.co.jp . Can anyone explain the Y1 used-manga offers? Charging a nominal Y1 for anything seems very odd. Normally, the price of anything used has a relation to the price of the same thing new; half, a third, a quarter, even 10%, say. But Y1 for something that costs Y410, new? What gives?

Here's an example

maybe they nail you on shipping and make it seem like you're getting a really good deal.
