This was too long, so I had to post it in two 
parts:

Hello Stephen,
I felt the need to respond to you about what I 
said awhile back on this forum, regarding your 
prices.  I know I wasnt supposed to reply, but, I 
feel so aweful about the world of evil that has 
stemmed from the root that is me, that I had to 
say at least, something.

About what I said on your prices some time ago, 
none of that was meant to berate you.  It's 
obvious that you understood it was, but it really 
wasnt.  I have not been around in the cel 
collecting circle since college, and have just 
now resurfaced, now that I can afford it again.  
Im not aware of the current price status of some 
series.  In the past, you have always been the 
best store on the web to buy cels from, and other 
anime goods as well.  I even used to buy from you 
before you were Anime Taro.  It's unusual, at 
least to me, to see fairly high prices on some 
things.  I had seen other cels from the same 
sereies at other stores for lower prices, and was 
just a little confused as to why yours were 
higher.  

Im not familiar with what it takes for dealers to 
get these cels from studios, so I didnt make a 
very logical, or informed judgement on your 
prices.  I only posted what I did because I 
wanted to know why.  I know I really have no 
business asking why now, but, at the time, I had 
seen others ask about it, so I thought I would as 
well.  I used some offensive word choices in the 
post too I fear ("jacking up the prices"), which 
I seem to do alot these days.  Im very bad at 
overdramatizing situations.  Just because your 
prices were higher, didnt mean I refused to buy 
from you, or that I was telling others not to buy 
from you.  I was not intentionally trying to hurt 
your business, or make you feel like you were in 
the wrong.  I love your store, no one compares to 
you ::Shawnna winces as she hears Sinead O'Connor 
piping through::. 

 I have no doubt that you have a wonderful, and 
huge customer base.  I know you dont have to bend 
over to make a sale, no one would want you to. I 
didnt say what I said because I thought it would 
make you lower your prices.  I said it because I 
was just confused, and curious.  Granted, my 
words, again, could have been stated in a more 
adult-like way, but being the fool I am most of 
the time, I chose to use more powerful, emotion 
evoking ones.  I dont know what you do to get 
these cels, or the prices you have to pay for 
them, or what the deals entail.  Most of us dont 
know how it works, so we are forced to just, come 
up with our own assumptions.  And, as we all 
know, the word assume, is made of ass-u-me, 
because it makes an ass out of just about 
everyone most of the time.  Im not immune to 
that.  I feel like a rotten egg now due to my own 
assumptions about your site.  But, I didt know 
any better.  When I saw a high mark on something, 
I wanted to know why, and I didnt ask in a very 
dignified way....
