You should tell that to the Japanese collectors 
on Yahoo Japan, man, they bid an unbelievable 
price for certain titles, I absolutely do not 
understand why, most of people bid on YJ during 
last few minutes of auction, I always bookmark 
the auctions with cels I like to check the final 
end price, and 90% of time the price is just 
painfully shocking.

I thinks the recent outrage partly due to the 
Japanese mass business TV media coverage on anime 
business in USA, and bandai, there was major 
coverage on TV 3 days in a roll during golden 
week holiday here, and the disappointing lack of 
supply of cels here certainly made the matter 
worse, most of you who have visited Japanese will 
know what I am talking about.

I do not see myself collecting much longer, and 
the price is getting too close to American cels.
