I didn't mean my message to be a flame ^_^ and I 
know you tried to differentiate between dealers 
and occasional sellers (made even clearer when I 
read your post for the second time).

But I think pricing is a very, very tricky thing. 
If the cels sits on the page for a while, then 
the price was too high and maybe they will lower 
it. If the price is too low, on the other hand, 
it flies off the "shelf" and the dealer wonders 
if he/she could have gotten more money for their 
effort.

I really doubt that a dealer will respond to this 
question because I think it's kinda, well, rude 
to ask. But then again, I always find comments 
about money rude. I symptathize about your 
frustration, however.
