Always good to see new dedicated scanners pop up!
I have a few questions...
From where are you able to order stuff? (Tora, Melonbooks, surugaya, nagomi etc.)
How fast can you order stuff? I dont mean: for them to arrive and be scanned. I mean: ordered so items doesnt sell out... some items sell out quite fast and i prefer if you dont have to wait for a bulk order to be made)
Are you on irc or something that so conversations doesnt have to be so slow?
Feel free to PM the answers back and we can get something rolling!
Edit: Sorry if some questions are answered in your first post, im bad at reading walls of text xP
We are not new scanners but have been scanning for a long time. Only now we've appeared in here to offer a scanning service.
We can order from any online seller and we've ordered from all the ones you've mentioned and others.
We prefer to do bulk orders but we always discuss with the buyer about the importance of the purchase. One option is when a buyer would rather save money and wait a bit but risk losing the item due to selling out. However, if the buyer wishes to spend more money to avoid missing an item, then we can also order more quickly. However, some sites like Toranoana and MelonBooks may report an item is in stock but then when we place the order, we will learn it is sold out. There is nothing we can do about this but we can look for another source to buy it from. Please keep in mind that a new book may be scanned by another person more quickly than we can manage so there is always a risk when buying the newest items.
We can talk to you on IRC. What network do you go to? Rizon?
