HOARD cels and claim they aren't for sale. Excuse 
me if what I write sounds pessimistic or 
capitalistic in nature but few things in life ARE 
NOT FOR SALE to say so is the furthest thing from 
the truth! Human organs are FOR SALE so are 
CHILDREN and the list goes on for materialistic 
things or considerable value as well: wine, 
paintings, houses, et al. What irks myself is 
when people claim things aren't for sale, that is 
bull. IMHO I am not saying you cannot sell it for 
a profit or for a signigicantly higher price than 
what you paid for thats completely fine and in 
many ways might justify letting go or something 
that may or may not have emotional or 
materialistic value. My point is that people who 
do have HUGE collections ought to at least 
entertain reasonable offers, the worst the 
collector can say is sorry that offer is too low. 
But by making it available and not using a 
blanket statement like NOT FOR SALE, you give 
other collectors an opportunity "a chance" to 
purchase a cel that might otherwise not be 
available in the extremely shaddy cel market.
Agree or disagree in any event take it with a 
grain of salt. And just to answer the original 
question for this thread, IMO the reselling of 
cels is fine how else do the dealers like Yannm 
Rick or Curt get em to sell to us in the US? 
However the blantant jacking up or if you prefer 
the nicer phrasing "mark up" at 50% or higher of 
prices for cels is quite wrong and does help in 
the corruption of selling cels. Splashpage anime 
is also guilty of this, but tis the nature of 
cels, unless you go directly to Japan and hunt 
and hunt, and even then if and when you find some 
cels worthy of your money, odds are they'll 
probably have been marked up too.
