One of the key problems is the Yahoo Japan and
Ebay. I think that if both markets were brought
together you would see a cooling off in cel
prices after Japanese collectors saw the premium
we in the West (I should say deep south coming
from New Zealand) pay for the cels - they might
be keen to ship internationally despite the
language barriers....
Perhaps a Japanese form of Bidpay or Billpoint
and we all would be in heaven. I'm sure no one
here seriously quibbles about postage
costs........
If they can't be arsed (as currently) then the
middlemen who are willing to bridge that gap
profit. (Some by stupid margins).
Buying stuff off shops just to sell them again is
also a bit ripe. Eg the "Gundam Phenomenon" which
blossomed on ebay recently.
There has been a cooling of prices on ebay
recently for most series' which is a good thing.
Just my 2 bits. |
