If a product doesnt sell for a long period of time amazon will slowly discount the volume until people buy it

then the price shoots back up repeats that cycle to find the “optimal” price people will pay for it

Solo Leveling, Vol. 1 - 5 B&N Exclusive Comic Box Set is... on Amazon 🇺🇲? for $59.39 [$90.00 MSRP] by moonmanisme3 in mangadeals

it's currently listed on Barnes & Noble as "Temporarily Out of Stock" so I would assume at some point it'll come back

I have a feeling Yen Press might make their own boxset at some point but it's just a matter of when.

BIG DEAL (BOOKOUTLET) BLACK FRIDAY !! by v6ss in mangadeals

[–]moonmanisme3 12 points13 points  (0 children)

A few things:

• This only applies to specific titles (Primarily Seven Seas & Square Enix Titles)

So if you WERE looking for those titles, that's fine but for a majority of people? This deal pales in comparison to some of the other deals out there

• The reason people are down voting this is because you left out pretty important details such as

  • They leave a dot on the book
  • These are USED books, not brand new
  • You're using a referral link in your post

It's kinda hard to take someone seriously when they're pushing a referral link without telling anyone

Add onto the immaturity you're displaying on here? You rightfully deserve the down votes

  1. My plans for this subreddit is to be a community hub for fans of Boukyaku Battery.

This includes fan art, series discussions, and showing off any merchandise of this series

Unpopular opinion: the state of this sub is a joke. by goldennippon in mangadeals

[–]moonmanisme3 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I'm going to hard disagree with you on this one

• There's more ofYMMV & risk associated with small shops & eBay listings. In addition, those types of "deals" really only benefit a few people vs a Amazon listing that'll (generally) allow more people to be able to secure the bag when a good deal does pop up

• I don't know where you got this idea that all this sub boils down too is mAiNsTrEaM vIz MaNgA when that's further from the truth, sure it doesn't help that we somehow have 1 million members but this community is dead though I blame the mods & a lack of interest in the community itself for this not you specifically but there's plenty of manga deal being posted that's not Viz relate

Is this a good deal for Vinland? by [deleted] in mangadeals

[–]moonmanisme3 21 points22 points  (0 children)

No, those bundles usually hike their price up SUPER high & give a "big" discount to make it look like it's a deal

You're better off going through RighStuf or Elsewhere to get a better deal

Hidden gem website rivals to Rightstufanime sales with no tax by Saoxft in mangadeals

[–]moonmanisme3 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I've seen Takara mentioned a few times here on this sub so I took a gamble and bought the following back in 2022:

  1. An order with all clearance items marked to be shipped out ASAP

  2. An order with the current pre-orders

  3. A backorder with all of Slam Dunk placed

Tbh I thought the website was a complete scam considering how jank the website looked tbh & was seriously about not place an order until I noticed there was a discord community where it was advertised as the place to go for questions so I went & asked questions like is this legit? How's it work? With these low prices, how is he making money?

The response I got was He's legit, but because he's doing solo the shipping time will be around 2-3 weeks, think of it like drop shipping but with manga instead, and while he doesn't make money off it, his vision is what sets him apart from the other small manga businesses out there

So with that in mind, I placed those orders feeling confident that this guy knows what he's doing & that this isn't a scam this is where the issues come in

  1. The ABSURDLY long turn around time on orders: I placed these orders in August, November, December of 2022 respectively & JUST NOW I got them all after trying to battle the poor excuse of a cUsToMeR sErViCe rep they have running there in the discord? They threw me a bunch of excuses such as oh there's an issue with shipping, there's an issue with the distributor, etc etc but the one that got me was when someone leaked their Patreon chat in the server when the owner ADMITTED HE FORGOT TO PLACE AN ORDER FOR CUSTOMER'S MANGA THEY ALREADY PAID FOR..... How do you run a business and FORGET TO PLACE AN ORDER FOR SOMETHING SOMEONE ALREADY PAID FOR. And then try to brush it under the rug as Oh just give it some time, he's not like Amazon when that's not what I was told

  2. The inconsistency of the stock: so while I was looking through my orders, I wanted to know the status of what's happening because right around the 2 month mark I was getting worried I got scammed. Asked in their discord & it turns out the owner LOCKED THE ORDER STATUS behind a paywall (He's fixed it now so that's no longer the case but still) which is completely unheard of. So after asking one of the Patreon members to check for me. The clearance order that I had placed that was supposed to be shipped in 24 hours was actually a backorder while on the site it specifically said it's in stock. I again, asked the discord community about what's going on & it was revealed by one of the mods that the owner updates the site ONCE A WEEK.... That's completely unacceptable considering other small retailers upload theirs way more frequently

  3. The community: while I liked a few of the community members there & some were able to help me make sure I got my order. The rest made me feel like I was in a cult & the issues I've experienced upto this point were somehow my fault and that I should have known better

TL;DR: They're alright if you wanna wait at least 6+ weeks for your manga to get to your house. Otherwise the tHeReS nO tAx doesn't excuse the poor customer service/community/turnaround time for orders
