Misha,
Your question describes my situation exactly. My
VHD cels were purchased two weeks ago from
Mandarake Japan, before I had even heard of this
exclusivity arrangement. Now, basically, Anime
Link has barred me from selling the cels on ebay,
through my website or at conventions. However,
they were nice enough (no sarcasm is intended
here, honestly) to allow me to accept offers via
email. I understand Anime Link's interest and
their position, though I'm not sure of the
legality. I believe Disney tried to bar the sale
of their "stolen" cels years ago and lost in
court. However, I do not want to cause anyone
any trouble, even though I do have a law degree
and could represent myself in court if
necessary. The bottom line is that the issue of
legality of sale, to me, seems quite murky at
this time.
