"What a good point. It does look like
Taro bases prices on popularity. Did anybody see those
To-Heart cels priced at like 200-500 dollars? And to my
disbelief they were all sold within three days."
Excuse me, but I believe people have a right to make money.
I don't understand the general attitude you all have that
cel dealers are supposed to be charities, donating to
your habit. This is a hobby people, and the attitude you
all have that cel dealers shouldn't be making money
and should be giving such great prices for the *GOOD* of the
hobby is SICK. You are all greedy, and have absolutely
no concept of MAKING A LIVING.
And yes prices get higher because of idiots who sit there
and HAVE to order ANY cel from Japanese websites because
it's the novelty of ordering from a foreign country. And
prices get higher because you keep paying higher prices for
things. Meanwhile, your US dealer is suffering the most
because you do not support him anymore. US dealers gave
great prices and now you see the steady rise because you
are making higher prices in Japan by spending ANYTHING to
get the cels you want. Or bidding $5000 on Yahoo Japan
like an idiot because you can and you are SOOO cool
that you know hiragana and 5 kanji, only to find out
they won't
ship to you because you can't converse with them. Or
just bidding irresponsibly. I can certainly name a few of
you who think you are SOOO slick, bidding on YJ, but I
just watch how you JACK up the prices, like idiots and then
you have the audacity to complain when prices get higher.
IT's YOUR OWN DAMN FAULT!!!
"One of my favorite Japan cel stores are Hobby Shop k and Animetime.
Sure their selection isnt as great as the others
but if a cel doesnt sell (try saying that ten times)
they quickly lower their prices at a very reasonable price."
Here's another asinine remark. Are you crazy???
So you sit there and put these Japanese dealers on a
pedestal because they put their cels at a higher price and
since they can't sucker you into the high price, they
immediately lower it next week?????
Are you brain dead?? If
you keep supporting this type of attitude, then the
Japanese will keep rasing their prices and you'll keep
complaining.
"Perhaps if AWS lowered their prices
and expanded their customer base to overseas, who knows?
And as for us collectors, we would have a larger selection
too! ^^"
Is this the greediest remark I have ever heard of? Why the
HELL should AWS lower their prices for you? Just BECAUSE
you are a collector? Do you feel like you deserve
something for the love of being an anime fan? Is AWS
not allowed to make a living? So instead you would
have a larger collection and the owner of AWS can't feed
his kids?
PLEASE people, GROW UP. You all think this is a hobby
and so many people do it TO MAKE A LIVING. Why
don't you all grow up and try to respect that and realize
the economics of it all and stop whining about CRAP.
"Taro tends to base their cel prices too much on
demand and popularity of characters and series"
PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME what the hell is wrong with that???
Does Taro have a right to make a living????
Please people, GROW UP.
