I think the current shrink is mostly due to the
new charges. Only about a month ago there were
twice as many pages. A decrease due to cg anime
would be slower. I suppose it's both people
taking down -some- of the things that have been
there forever and aren't selling (why waste the
insertion fees?) and some people trying to avoid
the percentage (though I guess we'll be seeing
how that changes things). Of course, with less
cels that don't sell, the overall quality looks
much better right? Your particular series coming
out could just be coincidence too. Sometimes
cels from certain series, regardless of age, just
have a bit of a swell in availability.
There are a lot more collectors than dealers it
seems. So, when the collectors are feeling poor,
you see a lot more of them posting sales than
dealers. Of course, they usually post under 20
for sale (in say a two week timespan) whereas the
dealers tend to post at least 20. This is just a
rough estimate.
