    Hey there. Trying to offload 200+ volumes of manga and wondering does anyone know of any second hand places that would give me something half decent for them, or take them at all?

    The other route is adverts which may eventually be more lucrative but will probably be very time consuming.

    Cheers.

    I doubt they'd give a whole lot for it but chapters will probably take them.

    Chapters won't take them at all, though they will take western comics strangely enough. I have consecutive runs of Naruto, Bleach, Fullmetal Alchemist, Eyeshield 21 up to volume 11/12 which should be handy enough to shift on adverts and then tons of first volumes of other series which I can't see anyone being interested in. Would rather just offload the whole lot and be done with it though.

    The first volumes will be impossible to shift. Are you intent on selling? Cos the library is always a great place to give away old comics and manga!

    I'd like to get rid of mine but I don't want to drop them off at Chapters like unwanted orphans on a doorstep, nor do I want to destroy them when someone else could enjoy them. I'd like if Forbidden Planet had a second hand section rather than be lost forever in the dreary labyrinthine corridors that are the upstairs of Chapters.

    I'd like to get at least something back from the, in retrospect, crazy money I spent on these as a carefree teenager. You're right though, a lot of them may end up in a library/charity shop, which I'm totally grand with!
