XP "What was the best anime bargains you ever got?!"
It's always a rush to get a great deals on anime, dvds, manga, items, bonus if
it's rare.
1) Found a trading card album full of rare, original, and foil cards at an expo,
back label said $0.25 each.
They were friends selling another friends stuff. She thumb through it and said
$8.
Bought it and quicky went away. Later I found that there were over 200 cards and
the original binder too!
Someone told me that somewhere out there, there is a girl crying. Too bad!
hehe!
2) Got huge, high quality, original import scroll misplaced in the cheap copy
pile for a couple of dollars!
3)Got a large original watercolor eternal sailormoon poster for less than
$10.... bargaining and the last day of the expo.
THANKS for your Time and Comments on this thread!! I searched and didn't see a
similar thread so I thought it would be fun to see what you guys got!
I received my friend's left-over stock of anime scrolls for wall-mounting and
decoration. I probably guess I got about 60 in my garage. I tell you, that was
one hell of a bargain for helping him with sales calculations
Quote by Shkira The uneditted and free
complete series I get from caring fansubbers across the world!
Lol.
...
I think the question should be best legal deal you ever got
I'm personally a fan of ADV's periodic clearances. I saw the entire Nadesco
series for $15 or so. I can't really say I've gotten any fantastic deals on
anime... The closest I've come is probably getting 6 DVDs for the price of 4,
with a 40% discount on top of them.
hehehe i got the whole series of runouni kenshin for only $40 dollars....thats
pretty cheep to me ^_^ considering people sell it in sotres for about a total of
$300 or up XO
At the Chinatown in my area they sold every anime dvd for 10 bucks. 10 > 30 @
everywhere else =). I got the whole series of Trigun, Ah! My Goddess Movie, and
Gundam Wing series before they stopped selling anime =(
When I went to Tokyo and nearly bought out the manga section of the Book-Off
Machida store. All the manga there were tagged 100yen each, and when I got home,
I realized that the clerk cashing in my purchases failed to punch in the price
of 5 artbooks I got. Lucky~
The best deal is to get somebody else to buy the anime for you!
Hah-hah-hah!
Seriously. Anyhow, I managed to get six Escaflowne DVDs for a little over $50.
Maybe not the ideal thing to spend my art show prize money on (I got first place
in the drawing category), but I thought it was a good deal at the time.
I get complete series for 20$ with free shipping all the time from a
wholesaler.... A friend of mine (who's not even into anime grrrr....) bought the
entire Samurai x ova collection for 5$ not even knowing what it was... (and he
wont sell it to me...) ...
hm....
Gungrave: Beyond the Grave - $4
l/r Volumes 1 + 2 - $4 each
a Love Hina manga for $1
and a crap load of CCS 90x110 cm posters [NOT wallscrolls] from an import store
for $1
But then again, I got ripped off a lot of times so I guess that makes up for my
"good" luck

Original sketches and autographs from Japanese manga and anime artists. All one of a kind and all rare.
hmm... irohina// get only 5$....
The best bargain i've ever found was Battle Royale 1-11 for $40, and that's with shipping on Ebay!
i got the enitre Love Hina Manga Set for $6.00/Vol totaling in $84.00
azumanga dvd for $11 bucks at bestbuy. Dnangel vol 1 w box for $20.
Bestbuy best place for anime. The cheapest. Fool to buy anywhere else.
i bought a Freedom model for 25 euro thats about 30 dollar
pretty cheap because i bought strike @ a anime conevention for 50 euro (60 dollar)
I haven't bought anything for anime really. But I've seen cheap anime on ebay. But they're probably pirate versions -.-
