Many things have changed in the anime scene over the past 15 years for me. Was a great 15 years, but It's time for me to retire my anime collection that has since taken over a full bedroom as of, uh, like a few years ago, haha.
Wasn't able to make it to the swap meet @ fanime thanks to fanime sucking ass on doing shit right on the website, and several other things to boot. I don't have plans on ever attending fanime at this point since the politics behind it all really turned me down, and the scene in general has gotten a bit too mainstream for me [a bit of an oldtimer here, haha. I grew up with the roots of anime such as "アッタク NO.1 (1969)", "愛してNIGHT (1983)", and "おはよう!スッパンク(1981) ].
Anyways, If people are interested, I have compiled a fairly extensive list of American and Japanese DVD's counting around 150+ or so, in addition to special box sets, limited edition printing/pess, cards, books, memerobilia, figurines, Resin Kits, vintage platformer magazines (STILL SEALED!), posters, and OH so much more.

Forms of Payment:



OR

Local pickup. $5 discount for shipping on all items as long as it is paid in cash. It costs about $1.50 to ship, $1 for each envelope and I get dinged 4% on PP fees since I can accept a full range of payment options so that's what you're paying for.
This is ONLY POSSIBLE if you are in the BAY AREA (span of Newark to San Jose).
NOTE: No, I will not drive off to San Francisco to bring merchandise and have you lowball me. No offense to anyone, but that kind of shit pisses me off  -insert X stories of lowballers/no shows-. If you are one of those people, don't even bother. I will run your ass over, take your money, then give you something of equal value of what you offered me, then send you the bill for damages incurred on my vehicle  :). Seriously, DON'T waste my time. If you are NOT in Newark, Fremont, North/East/West San Jose, then I would rather deal with the transaction via paypal/shipping the item. However, if you INSIST on seeing the merchandise IN PERSON, that is also completely OK with me (I can relate- i like seeing my stuff in person FIRST before I buy it). Please just PM/IM me and I will arrange for a meet up at a Safeway, Shopping Center, Great Mall, Newpark Mall, the moon, whatever! depending on where I will be at the time.

Yes, i know, 4 posts over like 2+ years... give me a break! Life's tough living, especially when you blow well over 15 grand on anime  :o

UPDATE:
10/24/2008
First up are my figurines, resin kits, and models. Prices/description are on the pictures. Semi-negotiable with some of them ;)

http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u292/the_mad_rabbit/Anime/Figurines/

The golden winners are:
Ultra Rare 1:6 scale Asuka Model- complete, fine detail, stands ~10.5 inches tall once bult :o


Runner up(s):
Ultra Rare 1:8 Scale Rei Model- 100% complete with original photos of what it should look like once complete + instructions. Mind you, she could use a re-paint. Shit was done before technology got as good as it did today.


________________________________________________________________________________________

DOUJINSHI 18+ ONLY! Brief Nudity contained within link.

http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u292/the_mad_rabbit/Anime/Doujinshi/

Golden Winners are:
Both from the same artist?!?
Unbelievably rare and limited printing, these two doujinshi's were "black marketed" to slip by the strict censoring laws put down by Japans Government post WWII. The writing on one is in gold leaf, the other is in platinum. Release date- Circa. 1984-1985. Fully Uncensored and one of a Kind. I've never been able to find a single original release that wasn't uncensored when I was collecting Doujinshi, be one of the very few people on the planet to own one (or two ;) )

1st


2nd


(please don't ask me where I got these from- that is strictly confidential)

DRAWING BOARDS / 3 Post-cards

At least thats what they used to call them... not sure what they call them now. I have a TON of these (count 50+) however I cannot seem to be able to find the pile so this list is only 13 strong :(. Anyways, its basically a plastic sheet with an image imprint that you can use to write on on your table/desk/wherever OR just put up in a frame, window, or hang off a wall :). There are also 3 really nice poster-cards that havn't been punched out/used yet in the folder. They should be on the last page .

http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u292/the_mad_rabbit/Anime/Drawing%20Boards/

Our 1st place winner is actually an oversized board, measuring ~11.5"x~8.5". Standard size is ~10"x7.25" for the 2nd place and all others.

1st place:
ONE SOLD, ONE STILL AVAILABLE

2nd Place:
SOLD!

The list gets longer..... UPDATE: 10.29.2008

Japanese Import Gaming magazines

http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u292/the_mad_rabbit/Anime/Gaming%20Magazines/

This is really where I start to feel the hurt of the amount of money I spent. I mean, seriously, take like 120 magazines and multiply by an average of $14 (after taxes) and... profit! Or not? All magazines date 1997 Except for 2 volumes of The Playstation (end of 1996). Gives you an idea as to how old I am :laughs:

Magazine pricing:
$10 Shipped each (sealed)
$5 Shipped each (un-sealed)

$60 + Shipping for the 1997 N64 Collection of all 12 volumes sealed (except vol.1- grrrr)


Extras:
N64 Vol.5 = 3
N64 Vol.6 = 1
N64 Vol.7 = 4 (1 unsealed)
N64 Vol.8 = 8 (1 unsealed)
N64 Vol.9 = 5 (1 unsealed)
N64 Vol.10 = 4 (3 unsealed)
N64 Vol.11 = 1 (semi-sealed, plastic tore apart but is still with the book)
N64 Vol.12 = 1 (unsealed)

The Playstation Vol.46 = 2
The Playstation Vol.47 = 2
The Playstation Vol.56 = 2
The Playstation Vol.59 = 3
The Playstation Vol.60 = 2
The Playstation Vol.61 = 2
The Playstation Vol.65 = 2 (1 unsealed)


Note: It costs me on average $2.50 to ship each individual magazine + 4% PP fee + packing materials. So, you're essentially paying $5 a volume where I paid $10-$15. On opened magazines, I make almost nothing ($1 - use of gas to drop these off at the post office) off of the Unsealed Magazines. I've combined pictures to decrease the amount of bandwidth i'm using right now. Been kind of a heavy load recently, hahahaha.

Combined shipping POSSIBLE on orders of 5 Magazines or more.

More more more... UPDATE: 10/31/2008!!!

ARTBOOKS

I don't really have many and I decided to keep my Miyazaki Artbooks for the time being (unless I change my mind tonight) so I though I would throw up some crazy stuff that I had lying around in my storage area.

Please, keep tissue use to a maximum- need to keep these forums clean, if you know what I mean ;)

http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u292/the_mad_rabbit/Anime/Artbooks/

First up: Mahoro fans unite! Blow a megaton with this one of a kind artbook, SIGNED!!!!!!!!! (at fanime, one of the years... can't remember. was probably hung over/exhausted from lack of sleep... or both, haha). COMES IN ORIGINAL PLASTIC SEAL. LIKE NEW!



Second: FLCL fans unite! It kinda hurts that I'll be selling this one as ITS ALSO SIGNED BY YS HIMSELF! Granted, I'm keeping my Vol.1 JP DVD (also signed by YS) to myself :P bwahahaha. COMES IN ORIGINAL PLASTIC SEAL. LIKE NEW!



As stated before, pricing is in the photobucket albums in the title. If a description is available, its available. PRICING IS NEGOTIABLE ESPECIALLY IF YOU PURCHASE OTHER ITEMS OR HAVE DONE A PREVIOUS TRANSACTION WITH ME BEFORE!!! Keep this in mind.

Piles of CD's and Music DVD's have finally arrived! I need to sort those out still some more and start taking more pictures.
*whew*. I'm nearing 60%... i hope, hahahaha!


Rest assured, if I post "brand new, sealed" I MEAN brand new, sealed!
Flip side, the figurines that I do have that are not sealed and brand new... well, they don't have a box and are obviously not brand new, lol (some exceptions though, such as certain resin kits).
Anyways, I have literally a slew of isht for sale and I thought I would post up a rough list as a feeler to all.
I can ship these items anywhere in the world as long as the buyer pays for shipping/paypal fees. Local pickup is also OK- just PM me or IM me at IronAnimeDude (AIM) and I can work something out (as I have already done).

A rough List:
BRAND NEW, SEALED, UNOPENED, ALL JP IMPORT!!!

Haha, i was waiting for someone to say something like that as I figured i would be offending quite a few people and, as I said, I'm an oldtimer when it comes to anime. This may sound harsh, but 80% of the stuff coming out nowadays is garbage in my honest opinion. Granted, after watching Berzerk back in 03 (still have ALL the original fansubs in a box somewhere) my standards shot out the roof with what anime should and shouldn't have  :D

Anyways, PM's will be sent as soon as I whip up my main list.
I will be compiling image collections of all the stuff I have for sale and post them up in my original post along with 1-2 image previews of what's available in that collection of *insert whatever*.

Not really offended, though I'm sure someone on the boards would be.
Just pointing stuff out.

And if Berzerk really is that great, I think I should probably go check it out.

Hmmm... that's tempting. I'll have to think about it.

the4ork

Local pickup = $10 ;)

Remember, $15 covers gas to pickup(i have to drive to my storage area- thats $3 in gas right there!), 4% PP fees ($1), and actual shipping charges ($2). In the end, I only take home $9 in my pocked for an hour of my time doing the post, getting pictures, preparing everything, etc.
Not a bad deal my friend. Buy multiple items = shipping discount ;)
