   Difficult to say... IIRC prices on MH are based more on their own   
   stock situation than on real demand or rarity.   
      
   Plus they make you pay for their very wide selection through high   
   prices on everything. I don't think you'll find a lot of buyers   
   willing to pay 2-3 times cover price for manga floppies (when they're   
   not on sale) if you don't find the one customer who needs just the   
   issues you have to sell. It works for MH, but just because they have   
   such a wide selection that there's some long-sought-after nowhere-to-   
   be-found books in there for almost anybody. It isn't of much practical   
   use as a price indicator to someone who just wants to sell some odd   
   issues on the side, though, IMHO.

   Not necessarily... I'd take some, if they're the right ones, but not   
   for prices you'd care for, I fear... ^^;
