READY TO MAKE SOME MONEY? 


Step 1:  SEND A LIST VIA EMAIL
 
An advance list of the books and DVDs you intend to send is required.  Only those OKd in advance will be given an inspection for purchase. 
Manga Books: $1.00 to $3.00 each
Anime DVDs:  $2.00 to $5.00 each

Send that email to
HeyAnimeCafe@aol.com

Step 2: GET AN OK'd LIST FROM US.
 
We'll usually get back to you within 24 hours to let you know what books and DVDs we'll purchase from you with an estimated dollar amount.  We have to estimate, because we won't know if all the items are acceptable until we see them.

Step 3: SHIP YOUR ITEMS TO US.

The Anime Cafe
71 Sawyers Lane
Tewksbury, MA  01876

We strongly recommend shipping your package via a reputable shipping service that can be traced and insured.  For example, USPS media mail, UPS ground delivery, FedEx ground.  Be sure to use acceptable packing materials, as we are not responsible for merchandise lost or damaged in transit.  We highly recommend you wrap goods in plastic inside the box to prevent any water damage.

Step 4:  WE PAY YOU
 
We can usually generate a Paypal payment to you within 3 days after we receive your package.  Your first contact from us will be an e-mail telling you that we've accepted all your items, or it will include a list of items we will not be accepting.  You will then tell us if you want items returned to you.  The postage for those items will be calculated and subtracted from the payment.  We will then generate a Paypal payment, and place your other items in the return mail, or dispose of them at your direction.
 
Disposed of books are donated to a local charity book fair.  There they will be sold for about 50 cents each.  Those funds are then used for a good cause... so you aren't just adding to the landfill...  which is a good thing.   Damaged DVDs are given to a local artists cooperative for children (and adults) to use in some creative way... just another way to recycle.
Your responsibility

Before sending us the package... send us an email to HeyAnimeCafe@aol.com with a list of all the books and DVDs you want to send.  We'll send you back a list of OK'd items.   Please only send very good or excellent items, as those are the only ones we can resell.  Make sure to ship all the described items, along with that e-mail list that we have OK'd.  We do not pay for the shipping cost of your items. We highly recommend the USPS Media Mail service to save you money for boxes up to 70lbs. or the UPS ground service for packages that are larger.  Your package must be postmarked within a week of receiving that email list that we've OK'd.  We recommend you create a copy of that email list for your reference, and you must include a copy of that email list in your package.

        Unacceptable items
  • Illegally copied or burned DVDs.
  • DVDs that are not playable in North American NTSC formats and DVD players.
  • DVDs without original original case, and front and back covers.
  • DVDs that are scratched, skipping or unplayable.
  • Books that are damaged, ripped pages, bent covers, missing pages, water damage, broken spines...  Minor shelf wear and dinged corners is OK.

Our responsibility

Paypal credit is the only method by which we will deliver payment to you.  You will receive via your email, therefore, you must have a Paypal account that has a verified mailing address attached to it.  We will be generous, as long as your books are in very good or excellent condition, and your DVDs are unscratched and playable on all Region 1 DVD players.  

Damaged Items

If we do receive unacceptable items, you will be notified by email, you can choose to "abandon" the items, and we will dispose of them for you, or you can ask that they be returned, and then you will pay a shipping postage fee.
