If you think that...You're in for a rude 
awakening.

If you think you got a cel that's worth $500 on 
the normal cel market for $80...You still got 
ripped off by the Japanese dealers.  You just 
paid a stupid price.  They probably bought that 
cel in the fist place for $15...Or even less if 
it was in a bulk sale ;P!

Even if a cel is "cheaper" in Japan...Doesn't 
mean AT ALL that all cels from Japan are going to 
be cheap.  Most japanese cel dealers don't deal 
with the WORLD cel market...So they *usually* 
only base it on what their cel market is going 
for right now.  But...A lot of delaers know what 
they've got...And don't sell it for love 
prices...Some...Even sell for higher than what 
the world market is even demanding.

All in all...It's basic supply and 
demand...business economics...Whatever.  If you 
wanna keep thinking Japan sells the cheapest 
cels...Then by all means keep your business 
there.  Keep *believing* they have the cheapest 
stuff.  That's just your opinion.  

But I say good luck in about ten years when there 
are no cels left you want, and the only way to 
get them is pay 10 times the price they were 
offered in the world market for.
