CLAMP No Kiseki set - pricing help
Post By Zeb. 10/08/09, 11:40 am
Some of you may have heard of the CLAMP No Kiseki set that CLAMP/Kodansha put out a few years ago.
This was a series of 12 magazines that came with 3 chess pieces each, that was at one point re-printed in English by TokyoPop, but I think stopped printing as boxed sets and only as the figures or magazines once they found they weren't selling much.

Anyway, I bought all the Japanese boxes, AND got all the limited "send away" stuff too.
These included:

Chess board
Magazine Holder
Special poster
Chess piece holder
Special chess pieces that came in the holder

How much this all cost, I couldn't remember... I do remember each one of the magazine sets cost me around NZ$60, so times 12... eek.

Thing is, I haven't opened the chess pieces, and only opened the boxes to get the send away tokens.

How much do you think I could sell the entire set for here in NZ?

pricing really depends on if you can find a proper collector to sell to, or if you just have to sell to a fan.
i'd say at least 1k though, considering that you've been so good and left things in packaging etc.
i imagine that the magazines are in fairly good condition too, so i'm going to say $500 to a fan (DON'T DO IT!), and 1k plus to a collector.

(this is seriously just me pricing things out in my head - nothing to go by that i've seen in NZ)

I should show Jen this thread. She'd start hyperventilating and selling her possessions on the street.

Original price is 1680Yen per.
*12 is 20k yen. Taking the exchange rate back then, I'd go with 1:50.

$400NZ. Plus shipping. And collector's value... I'd say at least 6-700$.

Well this and most of my collection are about to go up for sale including my Death Note Death Box.

Now to find a way to sell and let people KNOW, without going through TM's ridiculous pricing structure.

i Checked the prices on e-bay aswell..

http://cgi.ebay.com/Clamp-no-Kiseki-Complete-Chess-Set-plus-Chess-Board_W0QQitemZ280397735482QQihZ018QQcategoryZ106885QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ht_500wt_1067

in conversion it's pretty much $380 for the set (nzd) without the magazines.

for the price you paid which is about $60 x 12 = $720 Nzd
Add another $80 mark up value because it's a complete set

that pretty much makes it $800. Nzd

The only reason why the e-bay one is cheaper by far is because New Zealand has to get it through probably two distributors rather than one.

It also depends on your motives. Are you after just to clear it for space or to make a return on it?

Chiritsu that ebay auction isnn't complete though.
Its missing the special chess piece holder, the magazine folder, the special poster, the special pieces that came in the chess piece holder @_@






Also further questions, would asking $10 per manga volume be a reasonable price?
Am just concerned because for most of my manga I want to sell in sets, so if I have 9 volumes, thats automatically $90 which is a lot @_@

Also I have these (and one more that isn't pictured) is $45 per calendar too much?



Bear in mind each calendar also comes with an extra, and I don't think most of these images have been printed in artbook form yet.

As for why I am selling my collection?

Cause I need money, I'm a jobless, and I haven't looked at any of this stuff in literally YEARS.
Seems pointless to have all this stuff when it can go to other collectors who'll appreciate them more.

I've got two copies of the Chobits one I think. I bought the second copy because it came with the first printing tote bag. XD
