I have yet to hear a good reason (other than 
greed, if you consider that a good reason) for 
ANYONE to jack up prices on cels absolutely as 
far as the market will posssibly allow.

And in any case, when someone does as such, 
they're shooting themselves in the foot anyway. 
Cels are not food. Cels are not clothing. Cels 
are not housing. Cels are not transportation. 
Cels are not necessary either to live or to 
function in society. As such, there are limited 
numbers of people who will spend lots of hard-
earned cash on useless pieces of plastic and 
paint. If a dealer keeps jacking up prices and 
wringing collectors for absoultely every pennt 
they can possibly get per cel, they will quickly 
find that not only do their clients NOT have any 
more disposable income to spend, but the high 
prices have also scared away potential NEW 
clients. Then the dealer's business dries up. . .

Think back to the story of the Lorax, only 
instead of sucking up hordes of Truffula trees, 
dealers who jack up prices to insane amounts are 
sucking up people's disposable income. . . BOTH 
of which - Truffula trees and disposable income - 
are limited resources.

Many Sharp Smiles,
