Yes, what's the difference... (Sat Jan 13 23:48:53 2001 )



...between me reselling the remainder of a batch I 
get on Yahoo Japan at whatever the market rate for 
those cels are, and Parrallax or one of the other 
recognized dealers here doing the same thing?

I've lost out on Yahoo Japan auctions to 
dealers... I know, because I've seen the same cels 
pop up later on their sites, often at combined 
rates which are three or four times the cost of 
the batch lot, because that's the market rate of 
those cels.  Fine.  They've won some batch lots, 
I've won some batch lots.  That's the nature of 
auctions, and I'd never begrudge them their wins.

So just because I'm a collector and keeping some 
of the cels for myself, I'm somehow in the wrong 
if I want to get a fair price for the rest of 
them?  That's a double standard I do... not... 
like.

I'm sorry, but I just can't agree with the notion 
that there's some cosmic difference between me and 
an established dealer that makes it okay for them 
to sell a cel at a higher price than I can.  Feh.
