eroge-maid Posted August 8, 2012 Go, go newb! I'm wondering if there is a list [blog, site, guide] that has what DDs should be in the second-market. I know that prices differ and increase depending on auction but an estimate would be nice to go by. I'm thinking about getting one of the three limiteds I fancy but... Seeing I'm still newby-newb I realised that beyond the basics I have no idea if this or that is a good price or it is one of those inflated price-type auctions. *brain freak-out* lol Maid-sama's DD-daughters is a family of FOUR Panda Yoshino x Amity Hirasawa x Shiki Kiyomi x Ringo Wan-Chan where the rainbows, butterflies and dollies are...

PrettyCranium Posted August 8, 2012 It might be easier to list the ones that you are interested in, several forum members are knowledgeable in their current prices. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alterdan Posted August 10, 2012 It seems Saber DD (Blue outfit) and Saber Lily is real exp.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xsoverload Posted August 10, 2012 It seems Saber DD (Blue outfit) and Saber Lily is real exp.. Well, they were quite expensive new since they did come with a lot of extra pieces (armor pieces plus sword). That probably doesn't help with the secondhand market. But if anything, the most surprising one for me is Yuki Morikawa. Besides Tamaki, which was introduced well before I had any interest in DDs, Yuki is the one I feel that I just missed out on. And the going rate is a bit too much for me (sensibility wise). Who knows, if I find one NIB or in great condition the next time I'm in Japan, I may just cave. Haha.

To expand on the expense of original Saber and Saber Lily - original Saber wasn't actually too expensive. Back when I first started collecting DD's she was regularly listed for about 80k.. Saber Lily on the other hand had the highest asking price of any DD to date. (A title she still holds) I was able to win through Volks USA which gave me the best price with the currency rate and when all was said and done (shipping, taxes) I ended up paying $1200 for her.

Thanks for the clarification! I guess I'll just chalk up the original Saber to supply/demand and overall rarity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The original list prices for saber and Saber Lily were identical in Both Yen and dollars. I think Lilly's after market price did rise a bit faster after release though. If you wanted to adjust for inflation I suppose the original could be viewed as more expensive. Saber Saber Lily Volks USA Saber Saber Lily Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SakuraSylph Posted August 11, 2012 Here is Mandarake's Price List for Buying DDs. The given prices are not what they sell for on the aftermarket, but they are what Mandarake will pay you for your DDs. Also, not every DD is on the list. At least you can get an idea of the value of these dolls relative to one another from a quick glance. SakuraSylph Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
