"Dim view" is a bit of an understatement. I more
describe my thoughts of people who buy from an
easily available source, only to resell, as
"hostile". It further lowers my opinion that the
cel (at least the first Inuyasha one) was bought
without even knowing who was the character. That
one was posted *here* (with a request for an ID)
not even a full three days before the announcement
that it was for sale.
However, the other side of this reselling coin is
that *I* saw the cels of human Inuyasha when they
were both still on Taro's site - and as such
could have easily ordered either or both for
myself. I passed them up since they're not great
shots - but I was NOT early to that update. I
guarentee you that at *least* 20-30 people saw
those cels before I did. And if they were still
there when I saw them. . . . Rare characters are
not worth tons just because it's a rare character.
People used to collecting rare characters are
patient enough to bide our time and save our money
for a *good* shot of the character, instead of
finding ourselves broke when the perfect cel pops
up. So that is the other reason the cels will not
sell quickly. Especially since the second human
Inuyasha cel sat on Taro's site for a couple days
(it was bought after the first was IDed), there
are probably a *LOT* of people here who saw
it/them and already decided against buying. If
that was the case at *Taro's* price, people
definitely won't be interested at a massively
inflated price.
Just *my* two cents. Also, I fully and completely
agree with Evil. . . The anonymous thing is lame.
