It's called "good business sense". Admittedly, a
lot of dealers do this out of love for the medium.
I would guess that most of the online sites are run
by fans who just want to add to their personal
collections. Keep in mind that even dealers like
Yann and Parallax are probably not charging what
they originally paid for the cels either. Buying
and reselling goods for a profit is what business
is all about. It may not seem fair but that's just
the way it is. I'm sure that none of you would turn
down the chance to make a profit on one of your
cels if the price was right. The proof is in seeing
weather or not the cels actually sell at the
inflated price.
