For Sellers

Want to create some space in your collection? Whether it's anime, manga, Japanese merchandise or K-pop – the Bring & Buy helps you sell your items. Anyone with a valid admission ticket may take part.

New: Our digital system
This year we are using our digital system for the first time. Please register and submit your items in advance via BringAndBuy.io/en. This saves you a lot of time on-site!

Of course, we will still offer on-site registration for those deciding spontaneously, but please note that this may involve waiting times. If you encounter technical issues, send us an email at info@AnimeMesse.de.

Packaging Instructions

• General Principle: Multi-part items must be packaged so that they cannot come apart. Figures must be packed in a way that prevents small parts from getting lost.
• Packaging Materials:
  • Please use transparent gift wrap or zip bags.
  • Prohibited: No cling film (sticks together / labels may come off).
  • Prohibited: Wool/string ties are not sufficient for manga.
• Manga & Books: Wrap manga series in transparent gift wrap and seal it thoroughly so nothing can slip out.
• Small Items (charms, pins): Ideally pack these in small, transparent zip bags.
• Labelling & Barcodes:
  • Each item must be labelled with the item number and the price provided by the system.
  • Masking tape is recommended for labelling.
  • After registration, you will receive a PDF containing barcodes. These significantly speed up the drop-off process on-site.
• Pro Tip for Barcodes:
  For delicate items (figure boxes, manga covers, DVD cases), first apply a piece of masking tape to the item and then place the barcode sticker on top of it. This prevents damage and allows clean removal later.
• Preparation: Please package your items at home. While we offer materials on-site, supplies are limited and it will cost you valuable time at the convention.
