I have no problem with you or your business
methods, I've just never understood them.
Many a time I've seen you bid crazily especially
on cels being sold by ChaChaMaru as well as
Takamura, even on very low-end cels which have
not sold...because you think you're getting a
good deal, then a week later I see them listed
up in your eBay shop at highly-inflated prices,
I can find many examples if you wish.
When a cel that was already having trouble being
sold in the first place is then listed a week
later for sometimes twice as much, just seems
ridiculous to me and I'm surprised you sell
anything at all, as it's only needlessly bumping
up the prices for everyone else i.e the true
collector. ChaChaMaru seems to get hold of a
huge amount of his own stock and lists them up
at very reasonable prices and I like that, if
all the dealers like yourself ended up buying
their stock on eBay to only relist them, the
prices of cels are just going to keep on going
up and up and up as everyone tries to make their
profit…and do you know who is effected in the
end, the true collector, who could’ve just
bought the cel from ChaChaMaru in the first
place. I have no problem with dealers making
money, but when there are vultures needlessly
bumping up prices making us pay an
extra 'service' fee, for a cel that was already
available to us in the first place at a much
cheaper price…it just kind of gets to me. As
you’re not offering any service to us at all,
except making a huge profit on a cel I could’ve
bought directly from the first dealer. It just
seems to me these other dealers are doing all
the hard work and providing the real service,
only for you to come along and make even more
profit for simply ‘importing’ the stock to yours.
I understand you’re building your stock in order
to make yourself a respectable dealer and I am
pleased to hear you have finally got a foothold
in obtaining your own source of cels and I look
forward to seeing what you will offer in the
future. I guess I made the assumption as at one
point your stock was pretty much made up of
ChaChaMaru’s stock, but now you seem to be
growing out of that, so good luck.
This is just one persons 02 cents on the
situation and I hope you at least listen to my
points…as it’s nothing personal, just my opinion
on the situation. I have never bought from you
and never will until you start offering me
something for my money, not an overpriced cel I
could’ve bought myself. |
