THE MAN Collects And Sells Figures From Otaku Tax Evader

Slightly over a week ago the tax office in Otaru, Hokkaido decided to subject a local Otaku to gruesome torture as they did one of the worst things you can do to an Otaku, they sold his figure collection.

You see, this poor soul committed a big no-no when he decided not to pay his taxes and when The Man came collecting his most valuable possessions were taken to settle his debt. Even though I imagine he would have rather given his kidney away, he got off easy. These figures where collectors edition from old dating sims like the classic game Sentimental Graffiti (pictured above) so they will probably sell for a very good price.

Otaku, the system has set its sights on you, there’s no faking it anymore. You cross the system and the system will hit you, hard.

      That scared me BAD… will this happen anywhere around the world when you don’t pay your taxes?

      oh man… that’s gotta blow! though in all honesty, i’ve been debating selling off a bunch of my figure collection. The only problem is that i’ve opened all mine (cause i have them all displayed on one shelf)

      Khaim: I doubt there’s even one SAT appraiser that can tell the value of geeky stuff. So if you get caught not paying you might end up without a house but you’ll keep your wares, worry not.

      Desfunk: Do you keep the pakages? you can pack them again yourself i you were careful opening them, whoever buys them wont open them so they’ll never find out XD

      I’ve kept most of the packages, but a lot that had to be ripped out, just won’t cut it :p

      Then again, the ones that DID come in the boxes, are probably the ones i’d keep anyways.

      Well if they are in good condition you can still sell them, lower price though.


    Have your say!
