I usually read my manga online, but my Internet connection is getting extremely slow (takes up to 30 seconds sometimes just to load a page of text) so I am seriously considering just buying some of my favorite series in their manga format and stop being such a cheapskate... The only hard part is that manga is so expensive and I can read it so fast, usually a volume in 20-40 minuets.

I need some tips on places that give discounts per extra volume (buy 5 get 1 free, buy 2 get 50% off next, ect), and maybe some mangas that are collected in one entire volume. I tried using eBay but they just don't sell them in bulk... I don't want to have to wait a week to get like 4 volumes that will take me max 2 hours to read...

Don't tell me to get a better Internet connection... My parents pay for it and they are stubborn about this kind of shit.

Links to sites with sales or that sell in bulk with discounts are very much appreciated.
I'm back.

also if you go to a private owned store and you get to know the people really well they usually take a dollar or two off and you also get to make new friends.

Well I do see a lot of bulk manga auctions on ebay, you just have to check back from time to time.

This is a good website:

Rightstuf is cheap, but if you need it NOW and want to run off to the store, try Borders, and get one of their cards, too. They usually have a buy four get one free or something going on with manga.

Stores like Borders or Barnes and Noble have discounts a lot of the time if you're a member, and they'll e-mail you with lots of coupons, Borders especially. Usually they only let you use one or two coupons on each purchase, but if you get someone to go with you to the store, split it up into two purchases to scam the system a little. I managed to buy the entire series of Death Note for $60 with that method and a little good timing with the sales.
You can sometimes find manga at used bookstores. Not a very good method for buying in bulk because they rarely have more than two books in the series if they have it at all, but it's a good way to get some books for a little less.
If you seriously can't find any good sales or cheaper stores anywhere, try amazon.com. A lot of the time they have 4 for 3 deals on their manga, and they've usually got it at slightly cheaper prices anyways. Plus, if you spend more than $25 your get free shipping.

BookCloseouts has good deals, although what you can find is kind of a grab bag. Most of what they have is from Tokyopop (use that as a search term).

I got a part-time job at a bookstore so I could get an employee discount. I spend pretty much my whole paycheck on manga.....

The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal name. The nameless is the beginning of heaven and Earth. The named is the mother of the ten thousand things.
I do not recall, Jesus ever saying "build churches, temples, and kill those who doesn't follow christianity..." nor he said "christianity is religion".

I get a lot of my manga from Amazon.Com because they sell it really cheap... I've bought a book on there once for a penny. (Not including the shipping of course...The shipping costs about five dollars. It's still cheaper than buying it at Borders.)

Book Depository. They're a UK based retailer that ships worldwide for free, they stock tons of manga, and their prices are usually lower than Amazon's as well.
