I have surounded Lady Z's text with stars since my pluses
didn't work.   

*******************************************************
Most of my cels are very close to what I paid.  However,
I do not like selling my cels (as I doubt any collector
does), and I am less willing to sell cels of one of my
favorite characters (my favorites are Chu Chu and
Saionji).  If it does not sell, then fine, I keep the cel
and remain happy.  Yes, I did buy two cels from the same
sequence, but they were uploaded at different times and 
I did not know the one with the bowl (which I like more,
since it is multi-layer) would come along.
*******************************************************

        My point was that you are making a profit when you
said you weren't looking for that.  If the reason is that you
like Utena cels too much to part with them without a profit,
that's fine, but just state it plainly.  I have nothing
against reselling for a better sell, but please be more
honest in whether you want to sell for a profit or sell at
the price you bought, like that person selling Mikage's did.
I had often looked at your auctions and though "maybe...
didn't I see that one only a little while ago for $20-$50
less?" but I never said anything because I wasn't sure.  This
time I was sure and I wanted to ask why.

************************************************************
I take offense at your "middleman trying to make a quick
buck" off of purchases as well... I did not buy a single cel
in my collection with the intention of reselling.
**********************************************************

        I purposely addressed that to "middlemen trying to
make a quick buck" and removed it from the paragraph I
addressed to you.  I also mention you in the third person and
not the second.  I know that dealers and middlemen watch the
prices on eBay and I certainly don't want to have to deal
with anymore of them.  I am trying to stop this, it's bad
enough with the DBZ cels, I don't want it to happen to Utena.
If I should have put it in a different post, it's my mistake,
but I would have had to mention ChuChu and I think it looks
better in the previous post where the implication that you're
a middleman is lessened by my different addressing.

******************************************************
I have to fight with myself to sell a cel in order to
afford one I want more (as I am a full-time college student,
even though I also work full-time, I do have limited
funds after tuition and books).
********************************************************

        As do I.  As do many people on this forum.  I don't
see how this counteracts the point that you are not being
truthful about your cels.  

*********************************************************
ALSO... you know, if you'd written me through email, instead
of insulting me on the forum, and mentioned that you wanted
**********************************************************
       
        I don't believe that I have said anything insulting.
I plainly   stated what I saw and I asked politely for an
explanation.  Saying something insulting would not have
gotten us anywhere.
