Used goods market is never the issue.
Consumer side manga market synthetised in a closed loops would look like this ->
If you consider 3 consumers :
- "A" allocates 10k yen to "new" mangas. x percent goes to the author, let's say 10 percent, so 1k yen.
- "B" allocates 10k yen to "new" mangas. 1k yen for the author.
- "C" buys "B"'s mangas for 6k. 0 yen goes to the author.
- "B" use what's left of "C"'s budget (So B - store fee) on "new" mangas.
In this case the author gets money from both B and C, despite C not directly buying "new" mangas. He gets less because the store fees are taken twice on his budget, but there are twice as many customers that consumed the product and will participate in word of mouth.
