Hello, I wasnt aware that you visited the forums, 
(if it really IS you, and not some fake trying to 
scare everyone) but, I wanted to clear something 
up with you, hopefully for a few others on here 
too.

Your cel shop is truly the best of the best on 
the web.  No one else get's the amount of quality 
shots from as many series as you do.  As much as 
others try to compete with you, they really 
falter at doing it.  In the past, I have always 
known Taro to have, not only great images, and so 
many, but to have resonable prices as well.  I 
know the demand for certain images is quite high 
right now, so I cant argue with your business 
tactics.  I know very well that you all have to 
make the money to stay in shop, and keep the flow 
coming for all of your customers.  I also cant 
speak for everyone here about the GW cels, as I 
dont know a thing about them, or their price 
ranges.  I do think the ANC cels are a bit high, 
considering on some of them you cant see a face, 
or eyes are closed, or the image is tiny.  All of 
the things, at least to my knowledge, that make a 
cel worth a high dollar amount just are not 
present in some of those cels.  On the other 
hand, some of the cels are VERY nice, and I have 
no problem with the prices.  I have seen other 
similar shots, full faces, full body, eyes open, 
you name it, go for much less at other dealers 
shops.  I, nor anyone else here is asking you to 
take the prices down, it's just confusing to us 
to see other's prices, and then see your prices.  
We wonder why the steep difference--is it 
business, or just markup?  No doubt in my mind 
that someone out there will buy for the higher 
prices, but it just seems a bit much.  Even as 
little as 30-50$ much.  Plus, ANC hasnt even been 
released yet in America, so I know it's 
popularity hasnt gotten to the FY level, or the 
GW level yet.  Are you going to up the prices 
again when that happens?  

Anyhow, no one here is trying to slam you, or 
your shop, we love Taro!  As I said above, it is 
THE place to go for cels!  I have heard nothing 
bad about your service or inventory at all.  This 
is just a very recent and late thing where it 
seems that your pricing has taken a few steps up, 
and the customers are just curious as to why, 
when at other dealers, who dont have so many 
quality shots, but shots that are comparable, 
have such friendlier prices.  We also have to pay 
the shipping from Taro, which adds quite a bit 
more I think.  I havent ordered from you guys in 
a very long time, so I cant remember, but I know 
it's pretty high.  

So, payday is coming up soon for me, sadly I have 
teeth to pay for again, so no cels for me this 
month.  I do, hopefully, get another bonus next 
month, so I'll be in a very good position then.  
But even still, I cant render spending the prices 
at Taro right now.  Maybe later on...or of 
course, if anyone has Nuriko's they dont want, 
you can talk to me then too!!!  :)
