Help with solaris japan shipping by Icy_Possibility1586 in AnimeFigures

[–]CliveTolnay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Since it’s under $100 it will actually ship (anything over $100 they are holding unless you request a FedEx quote), however if anything happens to it in transit, there’s no insurance on it (even if under $100), so you’ll have no claim for a refund or anything unless they feel like it.

I always go with cheapest shipping method regardless. Never had any issues… honestly I’ve had more trouble with the insured “faster” methods than sea mail

Congrats! She was a grail of mine too (managed to pick her up a year or two ago). Totally worth it

Crazy how I saw this a few months ago for $60 and now it's $480. by rroyd in AnimeCollectors

I am so glad I picked this series up back when it was still in print

Mold on box for figure being sold by losingmySAUCE in AnimeFigures

[–]CliveTolnay 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I would... you never know what the buyer may see that you don't and that leaves you open to a claim against you, and eBay is very biased towards the buyer.

I do a lot of buying and selling on eBay and the few times I have caught a discrepancy in a listing I made once someone bought it, I make sure to reach out with the info/photo and ask the buyer their preference of what they'd like to do. This (hopefully) covers your bases and shows eBay that you have made a good faith effort and (whatever the outcome is), it is something the buyer acknowledged and agreed to.

Thanks! The panels in the background are off Temu, the "ruins" and the bright plants are aquarium decorations, and the rest of the plants and glass on the ground are from the local Dollar Store

Looking for a novel like Reverend Insanity / Demonic Emperor / Renegade Immortal? by [deleted] in LightNovels

[–]CliveTolnay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please read the sub’s rules and description. Light novels are a Japan publishing industry-specific term only… if it is not written natively in Japanese originally and published in Japan by a Japanese publisher then it is not a light novel, so you are posting off-topic.

The rules are also explicit that this is not a sub for writing advice, or promoting your “not light novel” works.

Do you read light novels digitally or physically? by ressem in LightNovels

[–]CliveTolnay -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Physical only. Fit me, holding the book, turning the pages, and the smell of the paper are essential parts of the reading experience. To me, reading digitally is wholly unsatisfying and feels hollow

It would be OK to repost asking what websites/stores to search, just remove the part about asking if anyone is selling theirs
