I agree with Misa. Maybe you nor I may be willing 
to throw down that kind of cash for a GW opening 
cel of that quality, but I'm sure in today's 
market that there are people who will (And did!). 
And Taro knows this. We're not talking about some 
young, start-up cel dealer looking to cash in on 
the latest craze. Taro has been around for years, 
and I'm sure they are more than knowledgable of 
the cel market. If cels start to sit on their 
site, they will adjust prices accordingly.

I don't like high cel prices either, but the fact 
of the matter is that anime is getting more and 
more popular by the second. And whether we like 
it or not, more people with seemingly endless 
amounts of cash will be entering this hobby and 
those folks will have a big impact on prices. Cel 
dealers would be stupid not to take advantage of 
that. I hate to say it, but I really think it's 
going to get worse. :( 

Wishing she could be more optimistic,
