user191: This question got posted: What are the value of these Trigun books?
And I'd like to ask the site users: Do you think it's a good idea to allow these kinds of questions on our site? Or do you think we should redirect people to specialized forums and remove such questions?
I don't think any StackExchange site openly supports evaluating how much a rare comic book, piece of merchandise, hardware or coins could be worth to collectors. Is it a good thing or a bad thing? What do you think it would bring to the site in terms of informational value?

user1458: Are we going to allow monetary appreciation questions for rare manga books and merchandise?
I would say no, as aki tanaka mentions in the comments. 

I can't see it being useful in the long run if we're going to follow SE's mission, to build a quality knowledge repository, not to be a personal helpdesk

The answers would most likely only be tailored I to the asker, and nobody else. 
I also doubt the regular Anime & Manga fan has any knowledge of (rare) manga books, besides the info a simple google would provide.
do you think we should redirect people to specialized forums and remove such questions?
I would suggest we close the questions as off-topic and invite them to join us in chat.
In the chat, somebody might be able to identify the price, or point people in the right direction.
