Not that ridiculous. You pay domestic Japanese shipping, the commission, and international shipping. As long as you're ordering in bulk, which you should be, it's not that terrible.

This.
Honestly, the biggest cost of buying/ordering doujin is getting scared by the the gone forever deal and buying more than you actually want.

"Well, this book looks ok, but not great, I don't really want it...but...if I don't buy and scan it it'll be gone forever!!!" And before you know it your doujin order is 50 books strong.

I sustain about a 30% attrition rate on my orders, of bought-to-scan-fuck-kalevala-scanned-it-already. Which means I still have a shitload of stuff that has never been scanned, and some of it I've never actually cracked open to read it.

I keep saying I'm going to learn how to scan things correctly, and do it, but I never do. Such is life. If I could figure out the best way to debind these things so that I could rebind them after scanning, I'd do it.

Some anons post what they order for scanning on http://www.touhou-project.com/at/, in the discussion thread. Don't post your orders if you're not scanning it, but you could still check and avoid buying duplicates yourself.

>>12594662
Yeah, I end up buying stuff that I figure WON'T be scanned, and then it ends up being scanned, while obvious shit that should be scanned never does.

I buy more than Touhou, so I'm not sure where I'd go to find out for other series. As far as Touhou, my tastes are mostly for Remi/Flan/Rumia, so I have a few that haven't been scanned, like...

http://www.toranoana.jp/mailorder/article/04/0030/12/32/040030123284.html

>Please do learn how to scan shit. Even if it's mediocre work, low-quality is better than no-quality.

Just think about it like that: Things that are lost or no longer needed by the world wind up in Gensokyo. This also goes for all these books. So somewhere in Gensokyo is a tsukumogami who embodies forgotten porn and perfectly recalls every instance of pornography ever discarded by man, from long-lost Venus statues and Egyptian bestiality papyri to Edo-period shunga prints and unscanned doujin work. While they may be gone forever in our world, at least she will remember them.

That said, if I ever end up in Gensokyo, I'm going to find that bitch and beat her up until she drops Ahobaka and Masha's scylla books from her collection. It's a right damn shame that these weren't scanned.

I never understood why artists don't ever release doujins publicly even years after publishing and when it's clear there's not going to be a reprint. Especially if it's not R-18 and especially if it is Touhou (=no copyright blasphemy risk). I don't get it. It's like they don't want to give people free value when they are perfectly able to do so with minimum effort. If you can keep the data for a few years there are LITERALLY no downsides to just uploading them for everyone to read. I don't even want to start counting how many great ones I will never see because no-one does this.

Really sucks when you like a series that wasn't that prominent. To add to that, say you like two characters from said series, but they don't get a lot of time in the spotlight, even in doujins.

Finally, you know which doujins include them, but they're also old (we're talking 12 years old) and they will never get reprinted and there are no digital versions.

I don't even go out of my way to look through catalogs or anything, simply browsing pixiv I come across previews/samples for something sold at the next convention and start going "oh fuck I can't wait for this" and it never appears.

I was pretty happy with C85, there were only a few things I was missing (that I cared about enough to remember they even existed months later), but the two C86 Kancolle doujinshi I was most anticipating still haven't been scanned. I'm getting tempted to buyfag for the first time ever (doujinshi-wise, that is).

The worst though is all the stuff that's sold only at Comiket, not online, and you're out of luck if you can't go there or have someone buy for you (or stuck trying to find it on an auction site). Like when circles have those cheap booklets/pamphlets aside from their full doujinshi; sometimes they have some good stuff but almost never get scanned.

I'm trying to track down a couple doujin to scan and translate, but I was wondering if it's considered bad board etiquette on Futaba to make threads asking about that type of thing. I'm really just looking to buy the doujin from someone in Japan, or pay them to scan it for me.

Would this be an acceptable thing to do over there? If not do the Japanese have some kind forum for that sort of thing. Doujin trading and sell. Other than the obvious places like Yahoo.
