Hi guys,

I did a quick search though the archives before I posted this and found nothing relevant, so I'm hoping this isn't old news; I have missed things in posts before, though, so please don't get too annoyed with me wasting your time if you already know all about this. :)

Green Metropolis sells second-hand manga at £3.75 incl. P&P per volume. (Well, technically, the registered users do since this is a marketplace / book recycling sort of thing, but I wanted to avoid any suggestion this might be an auction- or swap-type site). The offerings are few in number and may be a bit hard to find since there are no sub-sections in the 'Short Stories and Graphic Novels' section, but it's worth trying the search box if you're after something specific. The site may also help with selling the stuff you can't shift through the marketplace here and/or eBay, but be aware that, although sellers get £3 for every book sold and can charge extra postage if the item is bulky, they are expected to pay for 2nd class postage themselves in the case of all standard-size paperbacks; when all is said and done, you end up with about £2 in hand.

Hope this helps,

Al.
 
Green Metropolis - the URL

Owwww, it seems I'm missing things in my own posts too - you'd never guess I work with text for a living, would you! :oops:

I know you are all well aware of the existence of Google, but it never hurts to include the actual URL when it comes to recommending things, so here it is: http://www.greenmetropolis.com

It's a nice idea, but not for manga...that's essentially the same price you'd pay for a new book at The Book Depository.

Whatever the banners on the site say, I wouldn't want to spend the same money on a used book than I would for a brand new one.

Fair enough. I've not used them much myself, as it happens; I just thought some people might find the information useful, that's all.

Cheers,
