6 years ain't bad.  I've seen 10+ years.  @_@

And from a business perspective, I think that 
Nick is actually ahead of the curve.  Cel 
collectors, by virtue of being able to buy from 
YJA, no longer need to shop at cel dealer 
sites.  Animechaos had a respectable inventory 
of cels, and when Nick can't unload everything 
at 80% off, you know it's only a matter of time 
before AC got shut down.  Personally, I was 
surprised AC survived this long.  And I think 
more shops will follow AC's lead and close in 
the near future.

So I think the closing of AC is a brilliant 
move.  (But I think the AC website should be 
kept online as a cheap ad for 
shoppingmalljapan.com  ~~_^)
