| If you where trying to collect manga volumes would they have to be new or would you have no problem buying used? |
| I personally have no problem getting used. just that they are in good condition. |
 |
| I try to buy new when possible because I like supporting the industry but sometimes used deals are just too good to pass up. Also, there are lots of out of print manga. If I'm going to buy used, I want my items in like new condition. I have some old manga I bought used years ago and I'm replacing them with better copies. Please buy as much new as you can. |

| I've bought some used manga from thrift stores before, and I've also bought new manga. To me, it doesn't really matter as long as it's in good condition and I can afford it. |

| I always try to get them new if possible, otherwise like new. But so far all my mangas were bought new. |

My thoughts exactly! I only buy used if it is out of print, and I can't get it new anymore. Every other time I do not mind spending a little bit more to support the industry I love! |
| I mostly buy new volumes. The only exception is if something is out of print. |
 |
| I have no problem getting used, sometimes, I'll swap things around with some friends. I do buy a lot of new manga though, but of course for out of print stuff and things from defunct companies like Tokyopop, you have to get used these days. I get them in as good of condition as possible, but even I get ex-library books from time to time if the options are "~$3 for ex library vs $50+ for decent non-ex-library copy" |
| I prefer to buy new manga. Because of the condition, and also, to support the mangaka. |
 |
| I almost always buy new stuff, and go after used volumes only if some manga is already sold out in my country (like the last one I've bought, Peach Girl). But it's just a matter of preference, I guess. |
  |
| I used to buy my manga second hand, this was back when I was getting them just to read. As of now though I only buy them brand new as I am getting them not just to read but to form a collection. If the used manga is in good condition then it doesn't really matter anyway. It all depends on your personal standards really. Also, supporting the industry is important, so try to buy a new volume every now and then or any anime/manga product. |

| I normally buy brand new (because of a bad experience in the past where a book was missing a few pages). I also like to see them all in top condition within my bookcase, that kind of style just makes me happy. |

| I buy all of my manga/LN as new or like new. I prefer them as close to perfect condition as possible. I don't mind shelf-wear, but dent covers and stuff like that heavily get on my nerves. I believe it's because I see manga/LN as some sort of aesthetic as well as reading material. It's not only my books, it's a collection in my eyes. |
