1) Definitely sympathize with you there. When I first got into collecting the stuff, I didn't yet know who my favorite artists were and I just kind of randomly bought. Wasted so much money on crap. I still spend too much, even keeping my collecting down to my three or four favorite artists. I NEED TO LEARN TO STAY AWAY FROM EBAY. I can't believe how much these things cost, seriously. They're probably like five bucks in Japan and *flail*

What you said about "educational resources" really hit home... I've been using that excuse as well. *headdesk* I'm so sorry, lost money! .___.

Actually, they run about 800~1500 yen now (approximatly $8~15), and sometimes more.

I have a small pick up service with a friend and we pick up books for about $20/book. That's about as cheap as we can run them, because we include shipping with our price and OMG shipping from Japan has just gone up insane amounts. =(

I keep telling myself that it's for "educational" purposes too, but actually, I have been learning from them. Helps when you have nothing else to read and you have a Raureif book sitting beside, and you think, "I wonder if there is any story in the KakuHidan porn." And then you fall over dead when there IS a story, and it's pretty good.
