I'm not interested in starting a flame-war, but I 
just have to bring up something that is really 
beginning to irk me and I was wondering if anyone 
else felt the same way or had any thoughts on 
this.  I'll try to do this without naming a 
specific show/series and Dealer.

Basically, there is a certain series that I have 
been collecting from for a number of years now- 
and as time has gone on it has grown in 
popularity considerably.  I've noticed that for 
the past several months, very nice, rare and high-
quality cels from this series has been selling on 
Y!JP and then about a week later, showing up on 
one particular Dealer's site, marked up.  

I know we've seen this whole re-selling debate a 
million times and at first I was 
like, "Whatever".  It's a business, and it's 
something seen very often in cel collecting and 
dealing.  However, with each month I am 
constantly finding wonderful cels from this 
series, being outbid at the last minute, and then 
finding the same exact cel from the auction 
uploaded to this particular Dealer's site.  I've 
begun saving auctions I'm bidding on in 
my "favorites" menu to see how it ended, and 4 
out of 5 times, the winning bidder has been this 
particular Dealer.  And then sure enough, they'll 
update their site and that cel is up for sale, 
marked up quite a deal.

Does anyone else see anything wrong with this?  
Like I said, I completley understand the whole 
business aspect of it and "well, if you want it 
so damn bad, then the mark-up price will be worth 
it, right?"--- but is there a point where it's 
not longer a way of dealing it as a business 
strategy, but as a dirty, cheap one?  What do you 
all think?
