Question on celgas newer rates (Sun Apr 1 18:50:16 2001 )

OK, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Celga's 
premise that you bid on yahoo Japan auctions in 
an effort to try to save money?? Well I looked 
over there newer pricing chart, and instead of 10 
dollars an item its now more like 10%  markup. 
Now if a cel here(US) is say 400 dollars and a 
similar cel Yahoo Japan goes for oh 350000 yen, 
at their stated rate of 110 yen = 1 dollar, thats 
$318.18. A savings of almost 80 dollars, not bad. 
However, add in their fee of 40 dollars and 
another 20 on bank fees and shipping. Total on 
that is knocking 380.00 dollars. On thier older 
fee system I think the price would have come to 
350.00. So my question simply..is it worth it to 
save $20 maybe 30 after shipping is included? 
Also, add in that the shipping time would most 
likely be way less here, could make the savings 
even slimer. I not trying to knock Celga, because 
I think it's a great idea. However, I don't see 
the fee justification. I mean its it four times 
harder to put in a bid at 9000 yen as it is 
40,000 yen, because their fee quadruples??
