If you use the argument that it has an original background
to sell it several time more than what you would have
sold it if it hasn't a background... then, yes.
I think the important point is this : are you using or not
the fact that a cel is from a serie where cels with
backgrounds are hard/expensive to get as a sale argument
and/or to justify a higher price than usual.

If you are using the sale argument that he has a background
then it seems normal to me that you should check it's
true.

I go buy a computer and ask the seller if it will be
powerful enough to run a program. The seller may or may
not be able to answer me. Up to me then to decide if
I buy or not. But if the seller don't know and say "sure,
this is the best computer you will find around and it's
powerful enough to run whatever you want" when it isn't...
it's differant.

> We should support the better dealers and not accuse them

Once again, I didn't accused anything : I only informed
that it wasn't the right background. It may or may not
concern the person buying it. Who care ?

I personaly don't mind people pointing out a mistake I
make. Perhaps the only differance is that there is no
need to inform people as I correct the mistake...
