Does this seem wrong?... (Wed Aug 2 17:26:10 2000 )
me


Well, I do not want to bash anyone, but I do want
to get some opinions.  I may get flamed for
asking, but if I can't ask on the forum, then
what's the point of having it?

This is my first time ever posting, and I really 
don't want to make anyone angry...

Anyway, what do people think of this:

The nice guy from Hobby Shop K was at Anime Expo,
and he brought some cels to sell.  I saw them, 
and remember some of them.  Well, he had a really
nice cel of Treize from Gundam Wing with flower.
I would bet my cel collection that this is the 
same cel that Nichibei has on ebay now.  

I do not think that Nichibei is selling this for 
Hobby Shop K (although if this is the case, then 
I think that is fine).  But personally, if 
Nichibei bought this just to put on ebay when I 
know there are plenty of people at Expo who would
have bought it from Hobby Shop K, I think this is
wrong.  

I am not whining about this.  I do not collect 
cels of Gundam Wing, so it doesn't matter to me 
how high the prices go.  I just think this is 
sort of selfish and I am curious if others feel 
the same way.  I know selling cels is a business,
and Nichibei has every right to do this, but if I
did that, it would leave a really bad taste in my
mouth.  Does anyone else agree?  Or I am just 
being naive?

This is not meant to be a flame.  I just recall
that when I saw that cel, I remember thinking 
that some Gundam fan was going to get really lucky
because Hobby Shop K's price was really fair.

I guess not anymore.  

I didn't give an email address because I figured
since this was a forum, people could discuss it
here, but if anyone really wants me to post one,
I will.

Thanks everyone!
