Heheh at least you make profit. From all the sales on HKs and R1s, I never make any profits. Hahahhahahah I'm a sucky salesperson.
If it's a private sale, I take whatever the party offers, unless it's unreasonably low. For instance, I won't sell my Super Gals R1 for $50 when I spent more than $100. 50% loss? I'm not that dense or hardup.
I'm not a high profile seller either but I've been unlucky once. Once was with Princess Nine (MAC), I finished watching it, have the R1s so tried to sell it on Ebay. Hahaah got warning.....
Heheh..why would you feel guilty when you make money out of HKs? Ppl know they were HKs in the first place, unless, you didn't state the true facts abt region coding, # of discs etc.
I made around £104 (at the current exchange rate US$190.88) for my six Excel DVDs last year, which was a definite profit but I can't remember by how much. (I even took the risk of starting the bid at 99p.) I think there are more profitable markets in Europe - I just don't bother offering to US bidders.
I guess I feel guilty because I know what HKs are and that the winning bidder obviously knows something about anime, but not about places like IA. (I made a £10 profit with GTO.) I state that they are HK DVD versions; that they are region-free; and the number of discs included. It's a truth, but perhaps not the truth, if you know what I mean?
