Sometimes people just ARE sick of reading about 
ppl constantly asking ooh how much was this cel 
or who got the cel at Taro or at ____(fill in 
dealer name)for ____ fill in the series. ALL of 
us have at one time or another missed a strongly 
desired cel we saw on an update by mere minutes 
(I too experienced this even after sending in a 
email order less than 10 minutes after something 
I wanted posted), it happened to myself but thats 
a reality of cel collecting. If you snooze no 
offense but we all know you do lose.

The words "MOVE ON" aren't harsh at all, just 
depends on how tough skinned or onioned skinned 
one might be. Afterall if each of us were 
irrated, bothered or broke into tears over every 
single spiteful or somewhat degoratory comment 
made at us, we'd ALL be seeing therapists and 
leading a secluded lives since we couldn't bear 
to get hurt. Asisine.  What works for myself is 
not placing high importance (if any) on what 
people say and taking their comments particularly 
ruffling ones with a grain of salt. Afterall how 
many of us in high school spent alot of time 
confirming to the standards others such as what 
our peers dedicated and lost sight of what really 
mattered to ourselves? Ie our individuality, 
studies, art, family, 1st loves?

Also another thing to consider if it really 
matters (knowing the cost of a cel you cannot buy 
since it was already placed on hold), JUST email 
the dealer directly and ask them nicely. If they 
refuse well no loss since afterall the cel isn't 
available anymore.

But I must agree with Dr. Lara it is a good thing 
dealers take down the prices as other collectors, 
sellers and dealers DO base their prices largely 
on what they see as the current selling market 
price. Happens ALL the time at AX, YJP and even 
evilbay, think about it.
