Does anybody know why this volume is so hard to find?

Maybe more people buy it because of all the Buu Saga debating. Personally I found no difficulty in getting it from Amazon.com, and my local Books-A-Million almost always has every Vizbig in stock on the shelf.

My local B&N doesn't have it and Amazon has it listed for $1000. I just ordered it on books a million and they said it's back ordered.

I don't know what's up with this. Maybe Volume 8 needs more books printed. When Books-A-Million said it was back ordered, did that mean that they couldn't give you one? If you are in the continental U.S.A. then maybe I could pick one up for you and resell it to you.

I found one at DeepDiscount, so maybe you could order it from them if they have it in stock.

More than likely this is just a temporary shortage in Volume 8's stock. It should return after more books are printed. You should be able to get some used ones from Ebay as well.

They said at the moment they can't find one and I live in Florida. Thanks for the link if BAM can't get it I'll buy it from deepdiscount. Also I tried eBay no ones selling.

That would be awesome if you could resell it to me I would pay you double what it's worth.

I e-mailed Amazon.com about the Dragon Ball Z Volume 8's price, and this is what they had to say:

Amazon
 
Hello, :

Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention.

Unfortunately, we don't have any more stock of this "Dragon Ball Z, Vol. 8 (VIZBIG Edition)" right now, and we're not sure if we'll be able to get more.

I'd suggest checking our website from time to time to see if this item is available. If anyone is selling it, you'll see a "More Buying Choices" box on the product detail page; if it's not available from any sellers, you might see an "Alert me" link; "Alert me" allows you to sign up so we can e-mail you when Amazon has stock available for purchase.

I see that this item currently is available from Marketplace seller on our website.

When Amazon.com is out of stock on an item, Amazon Merchants and Marketplace sellers may list the item at any price they'd like. If an item is rare or collectible, sellers may decide on a price that's higher than the former Amazon.com price or the original retail price.

Sellers on our website are allowed to sell items at any price they feel is fair. However, we do have rules sellers must follow:

(They provided a link to the rules)

If you'd like to report a particular seller or listing, please go to the URL below:

(They provided a link to report unfair activity)

Our investigations team will look into the situation and take appropriate action. However, we can't disclose the result of any investigation we may perform.


After I get my paycheck on Thursday I can stop by my local Books-A-Million and see if they have any Volume 8's there. Try DeepDiscount first before they go out of stock. You'll probably get it from them much more easily.

Mind you, I won't stop by Books-A-Million if you are able to buy a copy from DeepDiscount. I highly advise you to try there first before committing to me as your Volume 8 supplier.

There's not a guarantee that I will be able to get a Volume 8 copy, so try DeepDiscount while you can.

I too looked for Vizbig Vol 8. What's the big deal about volume 8? I found all the other volumes just fine within a reasonable price but volume 8 starts at $98 and goes to $1000.

I remember having this probably with Vol 3, 4...

The Viz will come through eventually...

not that it matters. Viz is brainwashing its readers.

Get the Japanese manga, young one.

Yup, get the japanese manga, cause the viz isnt able to truly give you the feel of how the comic was written.

viz will give you their version of the comic, sans harsh words, curse words, graphic visuals.

everything american is watered down and made to read and sound american.

some people dont appreciate that. Glad memes does......

its because of the viz that half of these arguments even exist, ever since ive been here all people do to prove a point when they have no hard evidence? is use the wording.

Sorry, the wording has been ruled invalidated by people who know better. Its the same reason hermes made his own interpretation along with many others.

Accept it or dont memes86, the viz manga is a cheap lazy way to go for the true dragon ball fan. LOL

even the spanish and french translations are alot more accurate than the english one. Oh well.

But on a real tip? it sucks that the OP cant find a book, is it that in demand? or are the prints just running out and not being made anymore? cause thats actually not very good news.

I bet anytyme can't read Japanese, so why should he get the japanese version? Viz changed a good amount of the dialogue, but not enough to completely contradict the original Japanese. It's not like they said Bardock was a scientist, after all.

@anytyme: Did your order not go through, or is it on hold until they get more? It's possible that Volume 8 just needs more books printed. Looks like I'll be stopping by Books-A-Million, doesn't it?
