>I said I've bought *something* for a price and

>have bought *cels* and resold at a higher price.

(Incidentally, I'm not ticked off - I find 
discussions of ethics to be very entertaining and 
usually, a good way to self-evaluate. . . ^_^)

I find it interesting here that you make a 
distinction between cels and "everything else". 
How does it make a difference that you have never 
done this with cels? I don't see a difference. 
The same ethics hold true for any collectible: 
the Hard Rock Cafe pins I collect are a good 
example. . . How amused do you think I am to hear 
a *single* person has bought three hundred pins 
out of a run limited to five hundred - especially 
if it was at a Hard Rock I *could* have gotten 
to - then tell me how pissed I am to see $10 pins 
go for $70 a pop OR MORE on Ebay.  For another 
example. . . How amused do you think my Beanie 
collecting friend was when she was never able to 
make it to the store on time to get the one 
beanie Ty made of her favorite animal in the 
world? She cried to see them all over selling for 
$100 each when she knew the sellers were snapping 
up whole shipments of them for $6 each. (Don't 
feel too bad for her. . . I got up at the crack 
of dawn one morning and waited hours in front of 
a store to get her one for her birthday for $6. 
What are best freinds for? ^_^)

Saying "I never bought *cels* to resell!" after 
telling us that you like to turn a profit by 
reselling collectibles, sounds a little too much 
like the protests of the young lady in the joke I 
posted in a message below this one. ^_~
