How is the way I handle offers on my cels any 
different than anyone else? I usually charge a 
lot less (100s of $ less) for DBZ than Mangaya, 
Anime Taro, Animegame, etc. Not to mention eBay 
or Yahoo JP and several private collectors. I 
often accept offers that are reasonable; I have 
always tried to sell cels fairly. If I do sell 
them, I am looking for market value (mid-range) 
and anyone seriously interested should have an 
idea of what that is. Is that any different than 
how anyone else feels? As my web page clearly 
says: "Please understand that my cels are not for 
sale. Anything that I have for sale will be 
announced at my other website, Aino Anime 
Trader.  You can always make an offer on a cel 
(or offer me a cel if you have something on my 
wish list). If you don't hear back from me (I get 
several e-mails a day, I can't answer them 
all ;_; !) then I am probably not interested." If 
you are a person I know and trust, or someone who 
comes across as honest and nice, then I will do 
my very best to respond to your messages. 
I too am a cel collector and fan. I am not a 
dealer. I do not buy cels and then resell them to 
the highest bidder. I don't break up douga/cel 
sets. I won't lie to you about the quality or 
condition of a cel or ask for an uneven trade. I 
won't shill bid and I have never sold a fake cel. 
I try to offer my cels up personally for direct 
sale or trade _before_ I put them on eBay. I 
almost always sell cels to buy more cels. I am 
trying to diversify, I no longer want to have so 
much DBZ. is that a crime? If you don't want to 
buy it or make an offer, please don't. I don't 
see why you need to attack me or that you have to 
ruin it for someone else who is willing to make 
an honest bid. Does it not show that I am trying 
to be fair when I think it's bizarre that my cels 
are going for $810 on eBay? As for personal 
sales, how do you even know what my prices are 
unless you ask when I offer them? I will at least 
give you a range. The only cel I have priced 
extremely high is my Majin Vegeta and my dream-
sequence Mirai Trunks, and that's because I don't 
really want to sell them. Finally, if you haven't 
received a reply from me, have you considered 
that you may be one of these types of people that 
I don't chose to do business with? I don't sell 
to people who:

A. Don't pay
B. Will agree to buy and then change his/her mind 
and ask me (_after_ agreeing to buy) for a 
payment plan when I need the money right now (or 
I wouldn't be selling anything) and after I have 
already mailed the other people who offered and 
said no to their offers. I do accept payment 
plans from people I know are trustworthy and if 
it's at an OK time.
C. People who make an offer, I accept it, and 
then they write me back and make a lower bid. 
Again, this is usually after I e-mailed other 
bidders and told them the cel wasn't available 
anymore.
D. People who will turn right around and resell 
the cel on eBay or whatever.
E. People who are just generally not very 
friendly and demand that you sell your cels to 
them, even when they aren't for sale.

Thank you,
