Doujinshi Database.
Has Uploaded content/covers of doujinshi. this is a kind of bible for me when trying to find New Doujinshi or Covers etc It's content is uploaded by fans. it seems to be a lot of Hentai Listed also. not so good for finding Normal Doujin.
Your Virus scan might say it's a Potential Hazard. I have had NO problems. just giving a heads-up. :3

Yahoo Japan Auctions.
The MaMa to most of my purchases nowadays. be wary though when comparing to Ebay or other stores, 300 Yen can sound cheap ($4 US) but you need a Middle-man and they come with Fee's and markups.
Also Be aware these auctions keep going til someone gives up! For each bid, they add 10 minutes. not like where ebay where they have time limits....
SIMPLE TIP
Use google Translator, use Wiki for Japanese kanji/Katakana titles and use your Judgement. you can't really go wrong with doujinshi, a bend here, a stain there....

Ebay.com.
Good for starting out. good at times too, i have bought good books for as little as $5 where other sellers/stores would ask for $40. Good for Price comparing against Yahoo Japan too. Fee's and Markups from middle-men can equate the same price as on Ebay...

Miscellaneous
Websites such as JP Queen, Mandarake and Mandarake Auctions you can visit, but i find they're prices are high or stock is low...
A Google search is always handy!
try different keywords, and be wary of Porn sites and viruses planted in webpages.
don't get sucked in by the whole (free doujinshi downloads) thing, the doujinshi are either on a webpage you need to sign up for access, Pay for access, or the doujinshi are crap.
not to say there aren't good ones to download from!
Livejournal sales and groups.
collection pages where they cull their collection to make room for new books....
Best of Luck!!!
