I think that's a good point, I mean everyone
resells, or buys from someone and then resells.
In fact, really the only person who doesnt would
be the original artist...
as an animation artist myself, even I get flack
for selling my OWN original artwork, so even the
artists arent safe from heckling for "selling out"
their work.
it really is just due to your perspective, and
what you have access to.
alot of people only shop on ebay. they are not
aware of other cel shops. to them, someone
selling on ebay is offering them something they
never could have gotten before. to them, they
like this seller. but some of us may see it as
"wrong" becuase we've seen that cel before on
another site for less money than it went on ebay.
its not "wrong". maybe we dont like it. but the
fact is that it is THEIR cel and they can sell it
for however much they want. obviously, I'll be
much less likely to respect and buy from someone
who regularly does this, or buys cels expressly
for the purpose of reselling, becuase like its
been said... those people are buying cels that I
could have bought myself first... but then
again... they did get their first, and they have
every right to sell it if they want.
(I just wont like them for it). |
