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.
