Hi Mina-san!

I can understand you being upset over having one 
of your previous cels that you thought would be 
treasured and put in a good home, only to be sold 
on ebay later....

I personally have obtained a few nice cels thru 
the Offer method from some nice people willing to 
part with them and I have NO INTENTION on 
reselling them....

Not everyone is like the people you mentioned...
There are people out there who truly offer 
because they want that cel or its a "dream cel".

Its only sad if they beg and plead you to sell 
and then re-sell it - its bad, its wrong but its 
life.. If they purchase the cel they can 
literally do what they want with it.. like it or 
not, even if it was sold under false pretenses... 

There are alot of people out there who are in it 
just to make $$$ and arent true collectors..
I guess this is one of the 'bad' aspects of this 
hobby. Although, you may have to consider the 
fact that some people who may have purchased cels 
from you or others then resold because they 
truely couldn't afford it in the first place..
Im sure everyone here knows what cel collecting 
does to their wallets :P 

I think that if you spend that much time and 
effort to email, beg and plead someone to take 
your offer, usually, the people that do so truely 
want the cel for their own collection

For me its hard and awkward enough to go and 
bother someone and email them to make an offer. 
Most of the time the Collectors, unless they are 
in dire need of funds, aren't willing to part 
with certain cels unless you make them an truly 
outrageous offer anyway... 

I have made offers for cels because I figured 
what the heck, its worth a try and the worse you 
can say is No ! :)

Just my opinion :)
