Hmmm....  

This is a BUSINESS.  This is not a charity 
operation and dealers are here to make money.  Why 
don't you flame your precious Yahoo Japan dealers 
who rip you off more than ANYONE in America. Maybe 
if people don't bid outrageous prices on Yahoo, 
setting a precedent,  then when people like Rick go 
over, he won't have to pay such high prices and 
resell for higher.  When you bid high on Japan, 
these Japanese think that is what Americans pay and 
so they resell to dealers for higher.

What makes this a different business from any other 
business that people can't make money????  I would 
love to know.  It is a hobby, sure.. So?  Are 
people not allowed to make money?  It isn't about 
being GREEDY.  It is about making a living.  

Yann and Asylum...
Sometimes they have great cels, great prices... but 
to be honest, they DO NOT have the quality of cel 
that Anime Link has.  Bottom line.  Both of those 
dealers, I KNOW will agree with this.

Anime Link has the BEST quality out there and MANY, 
MANY satisfied customers will agree with you.  You 
pay for quality.

If you don't have that much money, then don't 
collect cels.  It is an expensive hobby.  Stick 
with lower priced, lower quality cels then.  It 
isn't fair for you to publicly bash someone because 
you are mad you can't afford something.
Yeah, a cel you have been after for a while, you 
and everyone else......   do you think that if Rick 
goes to Japan, pays for airfare, hotel, expenses, 
that he really is making that much money?  I think 
Yann has illustrated this point clearly too.

Collecting faberge eggs is expensive, collecting 
rare cars is expensive.  Only certain people can 
afford it.  You are lucky there are still cheaper 
cels you can purchase.  So honestly, before you 
write something this rude, I believe you should try 
and put yourself in someone else's shoes.  

Rick is one of the nicest people and he is 
EXTREMELY fair....  He will always try to work with 
you.  You have no clue what goes on in a dealer's 
life.  What if this is their only means of support?  
Why shouldn't they be allowed to make money?  And 
trust me, what you think is greedy is realistic.  
Especially in Japan.  Why don't you come to Japan 
yourself and try to find cels like Rick does? It is 
because you never, ever could.

Anyhow, good luck collecting cels.
