And Mike, needing some selling tips, readily agrees. So here\u2019s a quick rundown of the points in his lesson\n\n12:50 - Patience\n13:55 - Do an annual or semi-annual \u201cspark joy\u201d inventory\n15:25 - Using cloud services like google drive to both catalog and advertise\n17:20 - Take all your merchandise photos at once\n20:35 - Consider Reddit as well as eBay as a place to sell\n24:05 - Is a rerelease of the title forthcoming? Use that to maximize value\n27:50 - Other online sites\n31:35 - PayPal and currency conversions\n36:58 - It\u2019s overwhelming starting off, but just do it and learn along the way\n42:35 - On selling mulitple volumes of the same title\n47:55 - Shipping, both conventional and alternative methods\n55:12 - Conclusion\n\nEventually towards the end of the class, we go off on a tangent on how productively we have spent the pandemic, with Mike saying he\u2019s completely wasted it (50:19)\n\nThen we look back on Angela\u2019s return and look ahead to future episodes on things like this year\u2019s virtual edition of the Toronto International Film Festival (1:00:49), and memories of Ready Player One (1:10:10)\n\nAlso points for any listener who can make out Kevin\u2019s niece in the background\n\nMike Nicolas, Kevin Ng, and Mohamed Sharmarke\n\nVisit our website for more information and links:\nhttps://animeroundtable.wordpress.com/2020/09/12/anime-roundtable-v2-0-digest-6-september-11-2020/\n\nWebsite: animeroundtable.com\nTwitter and IG: @animeroundtable\nEmail: animeroundtable@gmail.com","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/c65007ea-b6db-452f-968f-75b0977929d5/avatars-5zprsad8s231me9f-afabfw-original.jpg"}
