   OK. But what is it with the 1-yen or 10-yen prices? I mean, there are   
   used-manga offers on amazon.co.jp where the price *is* related to the   
   price of the new book  - say, half or a third. An example:   
      
   http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/4088734394/ref=pd_sim_d   
   _4/249-2744639-2652334   
      
   But a price of 1 yen is clearly nominal, as low as you can get. What   
   gives?
