Written by Lady Z:
Offer still stands: if you're the high bidder on either
auction (SS movie cel has a reserve of my cost, so will
sell early for that) and want me to end the auction early
for you, just let me know. I'd rather move the cels out
ASAP than wait and get a higher price. (Weird, I know,
but I'm not really into cel collecting for a profit
anyway...)
If that's so, why are you selling a cel of ChuChu on eBay
with a starting bid of $95 when those cels were only $40-$60
at Taro? Even if ChuChu was the ONLY cel you got at Taro,
which is obviously not the case looking at the 18 new Utena
cels you just put up in your gallery, shipping, postal money
order and eBay fees would only add $15 $3 $1, raising the
range to $60-$80. You're making quite a large percentage
profit there, especially for someone who says they're not
in it for profit! Can you please explain this?
To any middlemen trying to make a quick buck:
I wanted a cel of ChuChu too, but if people are going to buy
multiple cels from the same sequence, and then raise the
price dramatically with a couple weeks of purchase, I'm not
willing to give in and support something like this. Luckily,
cels of ChuChu are not as "RARE" as Lady Z says they are
anymore, especially not as recent as the start of the
auction, since Taro and other Japanese dealers have been
uploading them. |
