think we should use that as a header more^^)


"It's the hope of collectors, like myself, that 
we can stop the sometimes inevitable inflating of 
cel prices."

How? By telling Taro, Yann, Melissa, Anime Chaos, 
Nichibei and the rest what prices to put on their 
cels? Or telling people who have cels they don't 
want anymore not to want the same price 
that "dealers" are getting for the same cels. 

How are you going to do that? Didn't you say it 
was inevitable? Who are these other collectors?

Does EvilMinion and Demona's name get thrown on a 
list where everyone whispers "don't buy from 
them, they sell cels they don't want anymore and 
there's more than one!" **GASP, How evil!**  

That's like saying its okay for a dealer to make 
money because he/she holds the golden title as 
a "Dealer" but its very, very bad for a collector 
to make any money at all. That's very 
hypocritical.  

I've seen lots of people on this forum post their 
auctions who are not dealers and not get their 
bacon fried just because they are a friend of 
a "dealer." 

"Remember that some people won't buy from you 
because of the constant reselling."

Constant? Are you sure? Why only EvilMinion?

Harry K posts here. I've lost track of how many 
cels he started off selling that were from Hobby 
Shop K, Anime Shop Vi, Ichiban and Shop Rose that 
landed on ebay a week to two weeks after they 
were sold from those sites. Some even had non-
matching backgrounds thrown on them and weren't 
even listed as such. I don't recall anyone going 
after him here and I don't recall his saying he 
was a dealer now. All EvilMinion said was that he 
has cels he doesn't want anymore and people got 
mad at him. Why at one and not the other? What 
about Lady Z? She said she's not collecting 
anymore. Should people not buy from her because 
she's selling off her cels? Some of her prices on 
auctions before she quit were three times what 
she paid for them. Is she "bad" because she 
wanted more than what she paid for them? C'mon 
that's ridiculous!

Does every collector have to order cards that say 
Dealer and announce themselves as one to have 
the "right" to sell their cels at the price they 
want?

If everyone is going to start pointing figures 
and policing each other then their fingers are 
going to get very tired,no one will have time for 
a life, every collector's name would have to be 
listed and this forum is going to be a very 
boring extremely hypocritical place.

"But of course you can do anything you want with 
your cels."  

Really? By telling him only to sell at cost? 
Telling him no one will buy from him? Telling 
people not to buy from him? I think we've all 
heard that one alot.

Sure collectors can sell when and how they want. 
As long as everyone follows the rules, asks 
everyones permission first and states just why, 
how and justify their prices in the first place. 
That's silly.

It's a big, wide world out there even for cel 
collectors.

Be good little boys and girls and maybe you'll 
get a cookie. Sorry, not all of us want cookies. 
Like Megan and Demona and others have said (not-
so)EvilMinion, go do what you want. Like I said 
its a big world and people will do what they 
want. I've said it before and I still think its 
wierd when I hear a "group" of "collectors" 
trying to control what everyone else here does. 
Maybe everyone should know who exactly is "we".
