Yes, another rant of frustration!!
Well, I lost yet another auction, which was on
YJ... just knowing that it will pop up on Ebay in
a few weeks. I am not really getting how I can
bid insane amounts of money and still lose... I
really starting to feel crippled by deputy
services, due to the fact they leave a large
window of time for bid "snipers." If they are
charging 20% then at least wait for the last few
seconds. Then I am given pause to ponder about
cels and their high prices! I'm starting to see
that its some US collectors, not the dealers who
are raping everyone. Think about it ... on YJ you
see a cel prices go crazy soon as a US collector
or deputy service places their bid. Yes, in the
last 30 mins the prices will double or triple.
Then some of these same collectors place the same
cel on ebay and drive that price even higher. So
what do the cel dealers do, they match there
prices to what cels are going for on the auction
sites. Thus making the general price for cels sky
rocket. I really don't mind if I lost a cel to
another collector, but when its just someone
winning cels to turn around and sale them again
for profit ... is what really burns my biscuits.
Its taking the fun out of this great hobby and
the money out of all our pockets. I'm just sick
of it and needed to blow off a little steam.
Please give me some feedback, to let me know if
my anger has not blinded my logic!!
