There is a seller on ebay seling guyver manga i asked if he would be wiling to put a set together for the first 29 volumes  here are his quotes

 

Guyver manga vols 1-29 third edition $450. or vols 1-22 secound edition and vol 22-29 third $375, both are free shipping to the UK

 

Is this a good deal or can I get it cheaper?  or is it better to order back issues from here?

Actually, it is. Right now to buy 30 volumes from here right is roughly US$600.

 

Only negative could be if the dealer is bad. Buying it here at least you know we are dealing with Ryuki who is trustworthy.

And the volumes from here are brand new. I'm not sure if those others are. Does sound like a good deal though.

thanks the reply guys, his feedback on ebay is very good so he seems trust worthy but i do think they maybe second hand. Also I am am not sure why getting third editions would cost more than second editions.

He/she could've probably paid more to get the third editions than the second editions.

for an order of that size, we could work to reduce the cost drastically.

no need for buying new packaging and can send as one parcel.

of course, lordspleach was correct, if we were handling the package as we normally do treating them as separate books. that would end up around that area, but it would be more like $540 not $600. that is because it would be domestic shipping.

I think in any case where somebody wants to order more than say, 10 books, we should look at a special order rather than just using the paypal buttons.

I think we're talking about $390 for 29 books.

I think we ought to consider creating paypal buttons for bulk orders.

Also I am am not sure why getting third editions would cost more than second editions.

I can only imagine because by mixing 2nd editions with 3rd editions you get an inconsistent look of the books on your shelf, purely an aesthetic thing. Very superficial reason to increase the price. But I'm sure the earlier editions will probably be worth more further along the line.
