Usagi Yojimbo DojoBoard

I’m looking for four people (or more) that would be interested in joining a buying group for some Usagi Hardcovers. I found a comic shop selling HC volumes 1-23 plus Space Usagi, Yokai and sketchbook #1 for $1,000.00 That is about $40 per book! Crazy good deal! Unfortunately the owner won’t split the set. I see this buying group as the only option to get the ones I need and hopefully help out some other dojo members who need to fill some holes.
I need five of these to complete my collection. (Volumes 1,2,3,6,7)
I will front the money, make the purchase and ship them out to everyone but you have to cover shipping for your portion as well as whatever books you want. I would request PayPal friends and family be used to pay your portion. The only other stipulation is that I get first dibs on the five I need to complete my collection.
If there are extras left over that people don’t need them I will pay for those and just hold onto them for now.
Let me know if you are interested and I will take requests on a first come first serve basis. PM me which volumes you want and hopefully we can all fill those holes in our collection.
Thanks,
Trevis

Dear Trevis,

Thanks! Super deal! Message sent. Let me know if you have any questions! Special thanks to Steve Hubbell for the help! Peace, maka

These are still available if anybody is interested: 4,5,9,16,20,21,22,23, Yokai and Sketchbook 1

All other volumes have been spoken for: 1,2,3,6,7,8,10,11,12,13,14,15,17,18, Space Usagi

sketchbook 1 claimed as well as volume 9,16

If you are interested in any of the volumes that have been claimed, please private message me anyway. That way I can start a list if for some reason someone changes their mind or if someone is unable to follow through with a purchase for some reason.

Do you know the average condition of the collection? I'm always looking to upgrade to better copies.

I've seen pics of all of them and them appear to be in NM condition. Some looked like they had never been read.
I should have them all in hand by end of week or maybe Monday. The comic shop will hopefully be able to ship them out today.

Oh ok, I saw that auction on eBay. For some reason I thought you were buying them from a local comic shop.

It was a comic shop(not local) and it was that same eBay listing but I had been talking with the shop owner for the last two weeks about splitting them up and discussing price. He told me that he would split them up individually next week if they didn’t sell. That was a big concern for me because I knew there was no way those would last individually and there was zero chance of me getting the five I needed for an average of $40.
That is when I decided to purchase the lot and go for it. I had talked with a couple other dojo members and asked if that was a crazy idea and the basic conclusion was I would have no problem finding people who wanted the duplicates I would now have.

Thanks, PM sent

I have 5 books left on EBay.
The other 21 books are in new homes.
Auctions end later this week.
The remaining books are volumes 4,5,22,23 and Yokai.

Just a quick note of gratitude to Trevis for helping me pick up a lot of the books I was missing. And Steve for the assist. They arrived today in excellent condition and I'm enjoying them a lot! Peace, maka

Happy that you are happy! Glad you were able to fill a big hole in your collection! Glad they arrived safely!

I only have 2 books left if anybody is interested.

HC 4: The Dragon Bellow Conspiracy #339/1,500
HC 22: Tomoe's Story #94/300

All others have been purchased and are in new homes ranging from California, Washington and Illinois to all the way in Australia!
If anybody is interested in these last two books please message me or feel free to bid on Ebay. If you are interested I can end the Ebay listing if there are no bids and sell directly here via Pay Pal.
Thanks everyone!

Only 1 HC left!
Volume 4: The Dragon Bellow Conspiracy #339/1500
If anyone is interested please send me a PM. I have decided to not list it on eBay and hold onto it if nobody here is interested. Maybe I'll start a new hobby and try to hunt down all 1500 copies .
The price would be $50 with free shipping in the USA via Paypal amd USPS media mail.
