Tas gadījuma nebija melnbalts Warcraft komiks?
Man bija līdzīgi, taču pēc pēdējām ziņam māsa paņēma un visu izmeta ārā. 
Animaji galvenā fīča ir tajā, ka tas atrodas lielajos tirzniecības centros.

izskatās ka augustā gaidāms nākamais paplašinājums

Yeah I kinda been neglecting a lot of things recently because I been crazy busy planning the next steps. We are actually working on 2-3 major things. 1 this year and 2 next year. I might as well reveal it a bit earlier here (the official reveal date is the 1st of August) but yeah the store will have 2 floors from mid August. We will expand drastically in most areas, including Manga, figures, Gacha and various stuff. Beside from that we will adapt more of a Japanese approach. In Japan they have tons of 2nd hand Anime stores and this is something we will slowly introduce in Latvia as well. This will allow us to offer more niche and rare items in the Latvian market. With this expansion we would also be the biggest Anime store in the baltics. Hopefully we can continue to work towards becoming the biggest in Europe but that ofc would require a lot of support from Latvia to reach that goal. Especially since one of the competitors like to watch us a bit too closely which is a bit of a headache…

Way to go, Dan! Turning Latvian citizens into proper anime franchise connoisseurs, haha. We are already big fans of everything 2nd hand, haha, so fingers crossed that this flies off spectacularly! If ya need anyone for focus groups or help with anything, you know where to find us all.

yeah we will see how our first batches of 2nd hand does and adjust accordingly. But I expect people to love it, I personally love going treasure hunting :D

How is it gonna go (if you can tell, of course)? Do you order 2nd hand things or will there be some sort of a “trade in your loot for other”?
We will be sourcing directly from Japan. It would be too hard to check authenticity if it is products people bring in. So to avoid any fakes ending up in the store we will stick to just getting 2nd hand goods from Japan. There is ofc always a tiny risk but it’s very small if the items comes directly from Japan since unlicensed stuff is very much frowned upon there. I will also train my staff to be able to spot if something looks off.

Oh wow! Alright, now that sounds really interesting! How often do you plan to bring in new batch of 2nd products? Every month or more like every few weeks?
We have new figures shipped out from Japan once a month. We would do similar setup for used goods. Generally it is a bit more complicated for smaller goods, but we will figure out a setup that works for all parties involved.

Maybe printed works like manga would be easier to handle. In my experience, the local second-hand market for manga is quite slow. I constantly see offers on Facebook that stay open for months. If I had an option where I could quickly offload my mint-condition Bleach box set for some store credit, it could be enticing.
We here as local consumers are not used to trade in offers at all. For the most part only thing we have are pawnshop and a couple stores who allow you to trade in your old mobile phone when you buy a new one.

It is definietly an interesting idea. I think the reason Latvian companies stay clear of these things is just due to the administrative burden is crazy in Latvia. In other countries you can report accounting stuff once every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on company size. In Latvia you need to do it twice a month. So everything that involves changes in stock or extra invoices is just a huge hazzle. But I will take it into consideration to see if there is a good way it could be done without extra hazzle.

Hmm - perhaps you could inquire at “Robert’s Books” book store? It is a small shop/cafe, but it was possible for me to deposit books, get store credit and I could trade them in for another book. They have been open for quite a few years. Manga could definitely be something of an interest. I have light novels myself too, few manga volumes too - I would be up for such an idea myself too.

Either way, it is hard to say if we even have real demand for this kind of service. It would definitely be a fun gimmick. I almost would expect that you would have to educate customers on how trade-in works. I could bet money that some locals will hugely overestimate the value of their collection as well and complain in store reviews. :D
It is now called EX LIBRIS - https://maps.app.goo.gl/5KgStviwSf9mVkCbA

That is everywhere though, haha. I usually see it when I trade in videogames / books, but I do understand that the value of them do drop (if I haven’t opened their packaging or something). But, from my experience working in university - this thing needs to be explained in bold, few highlights and simple text.
But it could be interesting. My colleague orders a lot of manga which she lends to us to read, and as I understand, she has amassed quite a collection.

Well, when you are trading in an item, the store is providing you a service of hassle-free drop-off. You are paying extra for this service by accepting a lower than market price for the item. In my last trade-in experience, we dropped off an iPhone which would cost roughly 200 EUR in the used market; the store offered about 100 EUR for it. Which is quite reasonable for the offered service in my opinion. If you really don’t want to sell items in the used market, you most likely won’t.
