Yeah. I have most of them except for the last few volumes. I just have not had the money to buy them. I really like the series. What can I say? To my knowledge, that was one of Tokyopop's larger products. It will be interesting what will happen now to the proposed live-action movie that they are making. I do not know how it will impact production, if at all.

Maybe another company will take it? It's not impossible.

Maybe. Again, who knows? There is too much up in the air at the moment to be sure of anything like that.

True. It's not like it's been a year since Tokyopop closed.

This is Craig's list. Think of it as the internet version of the classified ads in the newspaper with the added option of auctioning and the like. It is kind of like eBay, but sometimes you can get better things from Craig's list.

And sometimes you can get totally cheated. There are better safeguards with eBay, as they act as a complete middle-man. CraigsList attempts to do without that service, requiring the buyers and sellers to work things out together. That's fine, except that it opens the door to a boatload of fraud. My son tried to sell his digital video camera on there, and was immediately pounced upon by a pretty authentic looking fraud from Nigeria!

That does not surprise me. In any case, I know that the sign was for sale. They seemed to be in a hurry to ditch it.
