Library sales

Public libraries, university or college libraries, high school libraries, and catholic school libraries usually have regularly scheduled sales to get more funds, to get a tax break, charity, or some other thing that benefits the library/school or the tax payers and community. I know multiple public libraries (One in each cities near me and the city that I live in) that have monthly sales that price manga, comics, paperbacks, and other similar books at 25 cents and range the other books from 50 cents to a dollar. At my local library, the books that are one dollar are the books that are over 100 years old and hardcover. Some of these books are marked with a sticker and/or tape, but still readable and enjoyable. A lot of times I can find manga, comics, antique books, and some regular books to put in my collection for a low 25 cents.

Good Will

I find a lot of anime, manga, comics, and music in great condition, sometimes they look brand new. I even sometimes find an item in perfect condition, which is great because the items can range from 99 cents 3 dollars.

Discuss about collecting on social media and in real life

Ask on social media if anyone collects anything that you are interested in. The goal is to set up a trade or money exchange for item(s) for your collection.
