How much did you make from your Season Bricks?

Post by Travis Touchdown » Thu Mar 15, 2012 3:57 am

Just out of morbid curiosity, for those of you who sold your Season Sets, how much money did you make off of them? I'm considering selling my Blue, Orange, & Green Bricks in one sale and was wondering what's a reasonable asking price? I'm not expecting Dragon Box prices lol.

This isn't my auction, but the entire collection of Season Sets sold for $275 in this recent eBay auction, all in brand new condition. I just added them all to my shopping cart in Amazon, and the subtotal came out to $325.84 (also brand new, of course). So...if your sets are all in "Like New" condition, I'd suggest you sell them all for a total price of somewhere around $250.

Bought the first one for $29.99 and sold it for $15 months later. :?

I sold my DBZ season sets on craigslist and received somewhere between $150-$165. I don't remember the exact amount but it fell within that range. At the time funimation had just announced the dragon box sets and I was planning to use that money to purchase them... I have yet to purchase a single dragon box. Who knows if I ever will.

It depends on where you'll sell them at.
On eBay I'm sure you could get well over 250, if in near mint condition.

A few days ago I ended up buying each season set for DB and GT for a buck each at an E-Z Pawn. For less than ten bucks I picked them up! They were having a $1 DVD Box set clearance!

I gave all 9 to a buddy for $50. It wasn't about making money though, I needed to make space and I've been collecting the Dragon Boxes and Kai. I like the dub score but not enough to justify keeping the bricks up on my shelf. Especially when I have three other versions of the same show.

When I heard about the Dragon Box release, I ended up taking mine to a local pawn shop and got $6 per box. They gave me $1 per disc, so yea... ended up getting about $25 for my Orange Bricks 1-4. Luckily I stopped buying them before I realized how terrible they were, and when I later found out, I was obviously glad I hadn't completed the series on this crap-tastic release.

Looking back, it was so strange how I was unaware of the Japanese version, and basically didn't care to watch it at all. It wasn't until I read the manga and saw the vast difference in dialogue, that I knew the Japanese version had to be superior in every way. Even at age 17, I was quite the newb when it comes to the true Dragon Ball experience. I'm just glad I stumbled upon the manga volumes at a Barnes n' Noble and began to understand the true Dragon Ball experience, volume by volume...
