All very good points too; and interesting to hear 
both sides of any issues.

Think of cels and other collectables as 
commodities on the stock market; or land 
propeties...they get bought up and resold all the 
time.
Supply and demand.  And alot of hard work.
If I choose to stay up all hours monitaring cel 
updates for quick snatches of a good deals; I do 
not see the problem of turning around and 
reselling for what I consider (and thats 
different for everyone) a fair profit.
Although I still have all the cels I've  ever 
purchased.(with a few gift, and trade exceptions).
"Time is money" and it does take alot of time to 
be current to all the updates,auctions, and sale 
posts on forum.  I can only do it for short 
periods at best.
And I can only admire (jealously) those buyers 
that seem to have the gift for spotting what 
series are going to become such high dollar 
collectables ,before they are.
I totally understand the points of  honorable 
buying, bidding and selling conduct that might 
actually keep costs in check; but I seriously 
doubt it.
We should each follow our own set of codes, and 
hopefully work out deals in a civilized manner.
Then again
Its all a matter of nature....
