Want anime for cheap from someone you know?

Postby Apeotheosis » Sat Jul 24, 2004 1:47 pm

I know, the topic sounds like a ridiculous salesman with poofy jet black hair and a cheap flannel suit from the hospice. But it will probably get more attention, positive or negative :?

I have decided to open my own store for cheap anime, and don't worry. It's not going to be bootleg crap. I understand all rules on bootleg here. If anyone is interested let me know. I'm in need of money for college (already have a job) and figured this might be the way to make the extra money I need. Also to feed my own anime withdrawls! :lol:

For now, the anime that I will be selling could be used or new. I will make sure to tell the buyer prior on ALL sales. Rest assured, I'm not here to screw anyone over. And you'll be talking to me directly, not some site that doesn't ever have time to talk to it's customers. I'm a fellow AMV editor here (*knows he's only made one u.u and it was crap, but I'm working on my new one right now, should get to work asap a matter of fact*).

Most of the dvds will sell at about 10-15 dollars, 10 for used, 15 for new. At least that's what I have so far. And somewhere around 3-4 dollars shipping and handling. No tax, 8) Here's a list of what I'll be selling if anyone's interested (remember, I can get just about anything for you, so just ask and I'll most likely be able to get you it used or new ^_^):

Noir
Rahxephon
Gasaraki
Evangelion
Various Gundam dvds
Z.O.E. (Zone of Enders)
Yu Yu Hakusho
Dragonball Z (I know...I know, but if it sells *shrugs*)
Orphen
Princess Nine
Rune Soldier
Arc the Lad
His and Her Circumstances box set only for now (Only 55 bucks!)
Final Fantasy
Soul Hunter (I can also get the box set for you on this one cheap)
Sin the movie
Bubblegum Crisis - Tokyo 2040
Wild Arms (real cheap, it's a pretty good one too, I think)

And tons more, ask me what you want! That's what matters right? Just give me a pm or IM me with MSN messenger

majin_vegeta121@hotmail.com (also email, duh-uh :) )

And if you really feel like you want to know if everything's legit, if you contact me (not through this post) then I'll be willing to give you my phone number and you can just talk to me directly. I'm a good guy if you get to know me. Ask Carlos (drnged_kreationz) or Drew (Joykiller) about me if it'll ease your mind. If there are any questions about anything whatsoever, just ask here and I'll address them appropriately with speed.

If this works out, I can probably be suppling quite a few of you with great deals on anime, so please, take advantage of it. If it doesn't, it's alright, it's not like I'm going to be on the streets, but I'm just trying to help since I KNOW it's hard for some people to get legit anime....especially when your parents are split up and you live with your single Mom. AKA the position I used to be in which made it almost impossible to collect anything, let alone anime. Well - enough about my life story. Later everyone.

PS: One more thing to address, for now I can only accept money orders or cash, but cash is dangerous so I'd reccomend a money order. Cashier's check will work too, buy have you actually tried to get one of those? lol They're like 7 bucks a pop. Definitly not worth it :roll: Soon enough I'll be able to accept personal checks, and online debit.

I have a test site up and running now, it's not a SHOP but it'll list what I have as of now and what the prices are running for. Some things could be negotiable, some might not. But here's the link.

If you don't mind me asking, exactly how are you able to sell these for so cheap? I mean, $15 for a new dvd? that's a crazy low price.

Finally, someone has asked the question I figured would be asked every few seconds :lol:

Okay, I can't give you a step by step explanation....cause I'm not going to lie to you. I AM making a little money, if I wasn't, the whole thing would be pointless. I have a few friends that work at bestbuy...and I had a complete explanation from them on how much money they make per dvd, yada yada. I'm trying to transfer over there for a job *don't think it'll work out, but oh well*. Of course everyone's heard of wholesalers right? Well - let's just say most of those guys are NOT true wholesalers. I've found out how to contact the true ones. I'm very sorry, but I can't release any more if I actually plan to make money with this :( But if you'd like to buy any dvds, please lmk. Like I said, it's all legit, and worth your time if you just try me out once.

ok then. Is it legal for you to sell these? You say they're not bootleg. Are they stolen? You mention that you have friends at best buy . . .

Also, you mihtt want to look at the laws that pretain to undercutting and the merchant's suggested retail price to make sure you're not doing something illegal.

No no no, trust me. It's completely legal - and good God, no, I am not stealing things...that would be VERY dangerous territory and to solicit it on the internet. Whew, no thanks. I've checked everything out cleanly, and I've even been able to cut some anime down to $14.00 a dvd new.

I'm telling you, it's all real, but no one has given me a chance yet. But of course, I do realize that a lot of people are saving up for AWA so it's going to be rough. Right now, the reasons why they are ridiculously cheap is because I need to get started first. I know that not a ton of people are just goint to jump on it right away so I need to start off slow. I'm not making a ton of money of these right now, but if I can get it going well enough, I might be able to keep the prices low because so many will be buying. If not, they might steadily increase, depends on the sales. Plus the place I use doesn't have the perfect selection. Sometimes they don't have everything in stock.

It would be nice if you get a digital camera and post some pictures of the DVDs and covers and stuff ... I'm still skeptical about this.
Yeah ... I use a Mac ... it works and I like it.

If that's what you need, I can take some pictures for you. I have a digital camera. I'll post them on the site or on here, whatever makes you guys happy. I think I'll just post them on the site so I'm not overloading the forums :wink:

I'll take 'em in just a bit.

lol. They aren't Best Buy stickers. Those are the price tages from the place I buy them from, and no they are not the ACTUAL prices. That is what ADV has priced them at.

Your DVDs are dumb and smell of cheese, and your site is worse than having a my appendix removed by a half retarded monkey using a dull rusty spoon.

Also your mother has *NO* idea how to coordinate a toster cozy with the kithen drapes.

in short.... YOU ARE SUCK TO ME!!!

Oh wait. No I take it all back. All of this sounds great! I think the site looks nice, and the prices sound reasonable.

I still stand by what I said about your mother though. WHO THE FUCK PUTS AQUAMARINE NEXT TO TAUPE???? WTF!!??
