things that I love…

These are just a few of the things I love.

Comic Books/Manga

If I am not watching cartoons or playing video games, then you can find me reading comics or manga! I’ve read tons of books!

Anime/Cartoons

I’ve been a cartoon fan since I could ever remember back in the mid-70s. YES! I’m really that old! And I still watch them today.

Cats

I have three darling cats! Eri, Maxie and Luna. I love cats so much, I would have a dozen if I could! Meow Meow Meow MEWWWW! NYAAAN!

Video Games

I’ve been playing since 1981 when I got my first Atari 2600. I have just about every popular console and handheld up to today.

Fantasy Stuff

I love all things fantasy, especially magical girls like Fairies, Mermaids, Witches, Naga and so on. It’s why my website is called Magical Girl.

www.magicalgirl.com on ebay

www.magicalgirl.com is my Ebay account where I sell general garage sale stuff. Usually toys and collectibles, electronics and books. Just about anything I can make money off of really, but at least 75% of it is stuff I have an interest in.

fairyland on ebay

Fairyland is my Ebay account where I mostly sell anime stuff. I get huge collections of stuff off of Yahoo Japan auctions and I have them sent to me for reselling in the USA.

a little more about Magical Worlds

Online selling of anime and other goodies since 1998.  Mail order since 1992.

I got into the anime hobby way back in 1992.  There was a comic book store at the local mall and they had boxes and boxes of liquidated comics for something like 50 cents each or whatever.  I looked though them all but not much really caught my interest.  But I did see some that did.  I saw cute drawings with themes similar to the Archie comics which I so loved as a child and teen.  I bought three series and they were Lum, Ninja High School and I forgot the third one, but it was no turning back.  I got hooked and became an obsessive hikikomori otaku!

At the time there was a magazine called MANGAzine and they had a pen pal section.  I took to that as I had wanted to meet others who was into the hobby.  Mind you that this was about 5 years before anime really took off as well as the internet.  It was a very cult underground thing.  So I wrote to a lot of people and then eventually made friends and went to anime cons with them.  I sort of found anime cons boring, but I loved the buying and selling of anime stuff.  So I went to various Japanese stores to buy untranslated manga, as well as comic book stores all across several states to buy old back issues for reselling.  Ultimately I’ve sold at a few dozen anime cons over a 10 year period.

Then Ebay hit. I started to sell on there and it was so much easier and higher profited than doing conventions.  Eventually I started buying anime stuff off of Japanese auctions to resell.  That became very profitable for a few years.  But then the hobby sort of died as the bootlegs from China flooded the market and every one else became Ebay sellers as well.  So now days I have two selling accounts.  One for anime stuffs and one for garage sale stuffs, where I mostly sell old toys, video games, books, DVD and electronics that I pick up cheap.

And that’s about it really.  I love going out and buying old collectors stuff and I still love anime stuffs as well, although to be honest with you, I tend to like the classics more than the modern stuff.  If you want to talk to me, I’m more than happy to make a friend with you and talk hobby stuff or Ebay selling in general.
