Back in my high school sophomore/junior years, I purchased some manga I thought I would like, but it turned out, they weren't that great and didn't at all catch my interest. After all the money I spent on them, I'm looking to see if I can get money off of them. If not, then I guess I'll just have to give them away. But my question is, do you know anywhere I can sell manga to, besides ebay, (although, that is an option, I'm just unsure if the manga I'm giving away will be wanted by anyone on ebay))
I've been recently cleaning out my room, and these unwanted manga are taking up space.

You could check out Amazon Marketplace.

Having said that, you'd probably be better off taking this to the retail board.

The retail board? I was thinking about doing that, I wasn't sure cause I thought the retail board was more for buying then selling. But...
Moderaters, if this thead is in the wrong place, very sorry. If you move it, please let me know.

Depends upon what the manga is. If it's something that you haven't heard talked about much here on ANN, it may not be that big. I'd have to check. Ebay is usually hit and miss. Although depending upon where you are, there may be a Book Off around that you can take your manga to.

You could always donate it to your local library...

I don't know if you particularly prefer to sell your comics online or offline, but if you're interested in selling them somewhere offline, comic shops are always a great place to sell any kind of graphic novels.

Yeah, I was thinking ebay might not do as well. That's definitly hit or miss. A book off sounds good, but would I be selling them,or donating? I guess dontaing is fine, that will be the last resort if I can't sell them at all. And yeah, their rather dull series, never tlked about on ANN or any other forum for that matter.

I like that idea. But does it depend where you live? I went ot a comic shop once and asked if they bought manga, they said no, but then, I don't think they sold manga anyway.

do you have a "Half Price Books" in your town? they give pretty good money, depending on what your bringing in. you can get anywhere from 3-8 dollars per volume.

You can't be serious. My mom has given them multiple bags full of books and barely got $5 for it.
