inb4 you get dislike bombed bc the manga community gets super salty about ppl flipping manga. I think this plan would have worked 2-4 years ago but good luck doing it today. the aftermarket is straight up dead. People don't want to buy unless you're volumes are less than $5 for retail stuff, and OOP stuff has seen a huge hit in demand as well. You can be sitting on a set that everyone would have jumped on years ago and keep lowering it in price on r/mangaswap and only see buyers when it gets to a ridiculously low price that you can't believe you're selling a set of gantz singles complete for
FUCK EM ‼️ That’s part of the reason I wanted to do this challenge: to prove that even though the manga bubble has popped, you can still find deals and make money flipping. Will I actually succeed in the challenge? That I don’t know but I really want to try!
Looking for the volumes myself. Got 10 already luckily. Goodluck, but following someone like Phoenix Resale is not really a good look, well known scumbag in the video game community.
@@ThePromG reselling is fine to a certain degree. His way of doing things is practically screwing everyone over and profiting. The guy doesn't have a single shred of morality.
Good luck man, I’m in a similar position as you. I have everything by Tezuka minus Phoenix and Black Jack. Currently collecting Phoenix but Black Jack is definitely up next. Hardest part is definitely going to be to find profit, as selling a book for its full market value takes so much time and margins are not really that great for manga. Definitely be on the looks out as volume 15 is by the most expensive volume.
Yeah I’m gonna have to get EXTREMELY lucky on vol 15 since I’m basically capped at $50 a book. As for finding profit, it’s definitely been a lot harder in recent years to find good flips, but I’m confident I can find a way! 🙌
DUDE I literally went to Kinokuniya yesterday and found out Black Jack had volumes and bought the only two they had (the first 2). Then I saw it had several more.... then I saw it was... out of print. ... and a lot of money.... dammit
$800 is actually not that bad for 17 volumes of a very rare out of print manga. I payed over $150 for vol 2 & 3 of Hybrid Heart (an ecchi manga) hahahaha.
Yeah I couldn't believe those went up that much. I had all 4 volumens and I almost considered them semi-disposable. Now I'm like, any ecchi-type book needs to be treated like potential money.
@@InfamyOrDeath-__- That’s normal. I had to pay $150 for my OG Monster 2. I had to pay like $350+ for my Kimagure Orange Road 1 and like $150 for my Unico.
I thought I had a lead for you, and so I contacted my guy. Bad news. He's out. And I know I've seen them on his shelves before. Sorry I couldn't help, but good luck on the hunt!

Can’t wait to see if I can complete this challenge!
If you have any Black Jack volumes you want to sell, hmu here or @ThePromG!
Good luck! I had to get all mine back in the day, one at a time. I have both the Viz and the Vertical volumes along with the Manga Vizion issues.

I know he isn’t particularly liked, but I personally don’t have a problem with reselling (obviously) so I enjoy his vids

Pheonix Resale...? Gonna screw your own fans over in the process like he did aswell? 😂
You not the only person to say this but I literally have no idea what did he do?

@@Rorschachqp Yea and it’s weird because vol 1 & 4 are available on a lot of sites, but 2 & 3 are nowhere to be found on any of them.

Based, save yourself $1200 💪
Watch at 1.25x for the og experiance
LMAOOOO
This title is culturally significant. Many times gag manga will have random outlaw surgeon cameos as a completely out-of-the-blue plot device.
