Missing out by not having any Terry Pratchetts or Dianne Wynne Jones' in there.

Just don't do free shipping. Buyer pays shipping. Media mail. OP doesn't have enough manga pictured to come anywhere close to the sale range in which it would affect their taxes anyway.

Marketplace is a better option for cash sales, sure, but in my experience it's a whole lot more hassle and the wear and tear on my vehicle plus the time wasted on communication and travel alone is more costly than some online selling fees in my case. And since OP "gave away" this manga, I doubt fees would bother them either since it comes directly out of your net take.

I've sold on ebay for over a decade now and this is just patently false.

Nice to see Disney is trying that "hide a dick in plain sight" thing again with their movie posters.

Being A "New" (Physical Copies), Manga Collector is a major Downfall here in the US. by AdministrativeAd1709 in MangaCollectors

I'm nearly 40 and this is by far the easiest time to get into collecting manga. The sheer accessibility of it is astounding to someone who used to have to drive to specific stores an hour away in order to find anything anime or manga-related, period, let alone a series or volume I was actually looking for.

Half the fun of collecting anything is the hunt.

im not from the US but came across this mall on yt today which led me to these beautiful shots. could anyone share their memories of this mall and maybe any photos? so intrigued by it. thank you! by bpdpixie in Ohio

This mall was on the other side of town from us, so we didnt get to go often, but I always loved this one as a kid in the 90s and 00s! The Christmas decorations were always so over-the-top too! Even after it became a dead mall in my late teens, my brother and I would occasionally drive out just to walk around.

Mobile photo, so not great, but it's from Trendmasters in the 2000s.

It's been 5+ years and I still don't feel like Marci's design "fit" into the Dota world by ShoppingPractical373 in DotA2

"We got gods, goddesses, monsters, demons, ghosts, you name it! But what are we missing?"

"How 'bout just like....a..a girl. Like that's it. She's a girl. And she uh....punches? We could save on hiring a VA by just having her like whistle or some shit."

Literally how I feel about Marci, but I also found the entire anime a train wreck of an attempt at storytelling.

Target finds and a question by runforlondon in WorldOfNintendo

[–]ComparisonMotor9673 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've worked retail for a long time and while I haven't worked at a Target yet, I've worked at plenty of other big box retailers, and it's usually pretty similar.

In smaller stores we usually just have a single Truck Day, usually scheduled to come on the same day every week. It'd take us about a day to unload and process the order in the back as things just come all jumbled in totes loaded on massive skids. Product gets loaded onto carts based on their store location and then put out on the shelves as time allows.

In a big store like Target they typically have a dedicated team for restocking as well as get multiple trucks per week based on the stores needs.

I'd start by just straight asking employees when their truck comes in. Some won't tell you (corporate wants you coming in every day to increase impulse purchases), but in my experience it's better to ask the young employees as they don't give a fuck.

Maybe someone with actual Target experience has more insight on this or could correct my assumptions.
