Woot! (Wow, loot!) (Kilala.nl (Cailin Coilleach)) by Cailin Coilleach

As I mentioned earlier, I stopped by Trader2 this morning, in search of some specific items. One of the items on the list was a set of DVDs for Romeo X Juliet. By buying the original DVDs I can rationalize getting fansubbed versions of the series, just so I can understand the whole story. And as you can see from the picture, I've succeeded! :) I also managed to lay my hands on a semi-rare (yet uber-cheap) Cowboy Bebop DVD+book set.

Since Trader deals in secondhand goods, the prices of these DVDs were a lot better than their original price! Each DVD was knocked back from around Y6800 to about Y4000. That's less than the usual Trader discount, but that's probably because RxJ is a really new series. The Bebop DVD rang in at Y2400. In the end I was out about 76 euros for four DVDs. That's not bad, considering that none of this stuff will ever be available in the US or Europe.

I was astounded by the quality of the items, by the way. Japanese otaku really do keep their stuff in pristine condition! Two of the DVDs were still in their original celophane (inside the shop's wrapper), so someone'd been taking very good care of them :)

The item on the right, in the paper bag, is a gift I got for Marli-chan. I'm keeping this a bit of a surprise for her :p

I also got two of those phonebook sized manga, from Gamers. A little under 6 euros got me about 600 pages of reading pleasure! I really wish we could get manga this way in Europe! =_=; I'd love to take the books home with me, but I don't think I will, due to their weight. Then again, I may also just ship them home through the mail.

A bountiful day! ^_^
