Hi everyone ,

i was wondering if you guys could help me out .
I found a complete set of Tankoubon for sale for $130 .
It says it is in used but excellent condition .
Shipping is a lot , $114 , but since the books are coming from Japan to Europe and that it's a very heavy package i find it still quite reasonable .

Is this a good price for these books ?
Would any of you go for it , or are there maybe better places to look for them ?

Thx a lot

$114 shipping seems like a lot. But maybe that is just what it is. I would not buy it if shipping was that much.

Well it is a lot , but it's also a lot of books .
But how much does a complete set of Tankoubon cost anyway ?
I've just started collecting DBZ so i'm still looking for places to buy these , and so far i've only found these on eBay .

Books + Shipping in your deal = $244. Divide that by 42 and you're paying $5.81 per book in original Japanese. Meanwhile VIZ sells it's mediocre version at $7.95 (excluding taxes and shipping) each. I say it's worth it if you want them.

At that price I'd try to go all out and find the Kanzenban if they're available.
