Hi,

Within the last year or two, many well-known cel 
shops have begun to offer deputy services. Of 
course, this service is well-appreciated by many 
of us (including myself). But an unfortunate 
side-effect that I've noticed is that these 
shops no longer update  their store cels that 
often, and when they do update, the selection is 
smaller and generally not as high quality as 
before (with the exception of the Hankens). I 
can understand why--the high demand for deputy 
service is certainly enough to keep a store 
owner busy, and it probably brings in more money 
than the shop itself.

This isn't a criticism, just an observation that 
makes me a little sad. Will our favorite stores 
ultimately switch solely to just offering deputy 
services and not offering in-stock cels? Just 
wondering how everyone else felt. Thanks.

Gracie
