konichiwa!

a little while back, i sold some of my cels in 
order to get a little money to start saving and 
to thin out my collection.  well, i've now 
decided to sell all of my cels except for certain 
cels of characters that i'd like to keep. and 
now, the cels that i had sold are up for auction 
again and i am interested in purchasing them.

the question is this: the beginning bid price on 
the auctions is just outright ridiculous, which 
is the seller's right to set and in that context 
i technically see no problem. HOWEVER, the seller 
is stating in their auction a falsehood, which is 
that you would be getting "a deep discount of 
this cel compared to what I paid for it!  WOW!"

now i know what you're thinking, so i'll say that 
(1) YES, i am POSITIVE that these are the cels 
that i sold this person, (2) they are the same 
scans, and (3) they are the same sequence 
numbers.  the buy it now, which the seller offers 
will give you the "deep discount...compared to 
what [she] paid for it" is 6-7x what i sold it to 
her for.

do you find this ethical?  should i email her and 
let her know mu opinion on her outright falsehood 
in her auctions, or should i just let it go?  
either way, for the prices that she's trying to 
sell them for her i doubt that she'll sell them, 
but i'd hate to see her think that she can get 
away with giving false information in auctions.
