First, eBay... the Forum flames... the first
sellers who post... a year later...everyone posts
or they take offers (which is just a sneaky way
to really stick it to collectors (not everyone,
but quite a few)).
Second, YahooJapan Auction Registration... now w
the whole credit card situation that has come to
pass... but that was pretty ugly...
Sure, prices got higher... but when you sold ->
more money flowed into your pockets (forgive
future pun:))more cels or higher quality appeared
because of the lure of money... and more
collectors appeared because of these better
cels...which benefits those in the biz
professionally... and us, collectors (sure, I'm
on a budget, and my collection is small and I
can't hold on to a large number of cels... but
the quality of those I keep are great! And, I
couldn't be happier...and I'm not the only one).
Anime Pocket... now, everyone is complaining
about them... and the quality of their cels...
and all the people w/o the URL are
inquiring...doing searches on the Forum...going
to the PocketPartners site...
why not someone industrious w the URL (and the
right to participate in the lottery)... do a Celga
and represent the rest of us for modest fees
(getting rid of the Bank fees and more cel money
ta boot for the lucky him or her that runs
this). All of which might inspire the Pocket
People to meet the greater demand... or team up w
Celga or someone-else... sure, in the short
term... the competition stiffens...but in the
long-term we all would benefit... and feel good.
Just a thought...
