Book Off

An adjective to refer to something of incredible value. A deal so ludicrous that it makes you wonder how a store could possibly be profiting from selling a product at such a low amount. The term originates from the second hand store chain in Japan known by the same name.

Person1: 10$ for 30 mint condition volumes of manga!? How is this even possible?
Person2: Yeah man, that's quite the Book Off deal.
