To start, Pocket don't NEED to sell their cels outside their
country if they choose not to. And second of all, most of us
cel collectors are not suckers. We do know roughly how much
an excellent cel cost and how difficult to obtain GOOD ones.
Similar cels from other sites usually cost more.
Also, most sites do not even have Pocket's hard-to-get cels.
(Pocket might be actually roughly charging us what they
actually paying for those cels too. Let's face it... high
quality cels are not cheap and not easy to find rather you
live in Japan or not!!!I am still wondering how the heck they
ever got hold of some of the SP cels...Hard-to find!!!)
Maybe that is why they are so popular too,....there were MORE
than 550 access to their sites within 2 days they put up the
new cels...no wonder they have to do lottery.
Also, ABB, for your information, I believe in Japan their
postal offices are not open on the weekends. It is very hard
for the working class to do postal on weekdays.
And like many others before me, I would like to add this too
"If you are not happy with Pocket, then simply do not access
their site".You will also be doing us a favor by cutting down
on the lottery competiton. |
