So I've just stumbled upon MindOddity.com after someone mentioned it on another topic. Anyone has ordered from them? Are they reliable?

I'm asking because although they have very few manga titles (only the popular ones) they sell it for crazy prices... like the AoT volumes are around $2 each. Such low prices are making me a bit suspicious so I figured it'd be wise to ask around to see if anyone has actually ordered from them and can confirm this isn't a scam!

Never heard of them before, but from poking around it seems they charge $7 per item in shipping costs, which are not included in the item prices. Which is why they appear so cheap.
There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.

MindOddity is reliable and they do not charge $7 per item to ship (where did that info come from?). If you want to know what they charge, go to their site and buy a bunch of books - the checkout will provide you with a flat rate freight cost for the complete order and I assure you, it will not be $7 per item. Do some more poking around . . . .

It came from their shipping info page. This has changed at some point over the past 2 weeks.

I figured I'd give it a chance. I did order a bunch of books (10). And my shipping came to $9.99 total for everything all together. So, not to bad.

Here is what I ordered:

  • Fallen Words
  • The Push-Man and Other Stories
  • Seconds: A Graphic Novel
  • NonNonBa
  • Onwards Towards Our Noble Deaths
  • Morning Glories Vol. 1: For a Better Future
  • Mind the Gap Vol. 1: Intimate Strangers
  • Saga Vol. 2
  • Saga Vol. 3
  • Saga Vol. 4


The manga selection is kind of weak sauce for me. There were a few manga under small press instead of manga, which I picked up (gekiga stuff). The one manga I wanted for the manga section would have been Attack on Titan vol 12, but they don't have that one.

I'll report back though.

Thanks for your input! I agree that the manga selection is rather weak but it didn't bother me much since I really like AoT. I don't live in the US tho so I'll try to order a few volumes and see what the shipping cost is.

So, I ordered Wednesday and I got my order today. I'm pretty happy with it. Everything is new, and in great shape, and it was all backed well. I'd totally order from them again.

So, yeah if you are looking to buy several volumes of Attack on Titian it could be worth it as long as shipping isn't to expensive for you.

I just saw on their site that they don't ship to my country. Huge bummer, since their products are reallyyy cheap. :(

I really appreciated your input though (;
