Well, nothing in life is free.  I dont see the 
problem with YJ charging fees.  The people who 
run that service have to feed themselves somehow, 
right? Ebay charges fees (some not so nice ones), 
but you have to think about it from their point 
of view.  If you had a very successful website 
where you offered a widely used service, would 
you not charge for it?  I know I would. Ebay 
seems to do very well, as most traffic circulates 
through there.  I never find a thing on Yahoo 
(regular).  The bidders page may get some hype 
right now, but YJ is still more well known, so 
people will still use them more often.  

I think cels in general are just becoming harder 
to get.  With CG coming up, there's fewere cel to 
be had for dealers and collectors. Also, the 
economy isnt doing so well.  I know last year I 
was getting 1500$ bonuses here and there, but 
this year...nada. I've had to cut back on cels 
big time.  I only go for wishlist cels now, and 
no cels that I think are just "neat".  There have 
been a lot of rare and nice cels on the market.  
I think people are just generally figuring out 
that hey, they have a small fortune tucked away 
in cels, and it'd be more beneficial to sell them 
than to keep them right now.  I know I have about 
10k worth of cels myself....it's sure tempting 
sometimes to just get rid of them and get to 
sleep early again.....nahhhh.  Anyways, I think 
it'll be neat to watch the bid system war in 
Japan.  Im pretty happy with Ebay myself ^_~
