I think items are priced to the demand of the 
series and priced to how common the dealer can 
get the cels. 10 years ago I got a bunch of  
Miyazaki Kiki cels for under 40 and now I see 
them sell for well over 500. If I were to sell 
any of my own, I would never price them below 
500 because I will no longer be able to get them 
below that price.

As for "cel ethics" goes...thats kind of a silly 
statement. The hobby is a business 
unfortunately, if it wasnt for the business 
there wouldnt be cels on YJ or Ebay and you 
would probably never see them. So in a way the 
overpricers help everyone out, because more cels 
will be released.

Cels are one of a kind and I can see why people 
want to hold on to certain items and price them 
high. It has nothing to do the ethics. When it 
comes down to it, they own the cel and they can 
price it as high as they want. Of course if it 
truly is priced too high, they will never sell 
it and thats too bad for them I suppose.

If people didnt sell any cels for pure profit 
there wouldnt be much of a hobby out there.
