There's an old joke I was told once by my 
grandfather that relates to this:

A man walks up to an attractive young lady at a 
social function and asks her if she would sleep 
with him for one million dollars. The lady laughs 
and tells him for one million dollars, she'd 
sleep anywhere. So the man then asks if she would 
sleep with him for $25 and the lady gets 
indignant, asking what kind of woman does he 
think she is? "We've already established that," 
he tells her. "Now we're just haggling on the 
price."

Yes, everyone has a price. If someone walked ip 
with one million dollars in their hand and 
offered to buy my Larva and Garline cel, I could 
not turn them down seeing as that money would buy 
a house, pay off all my husband's and my school 
loans, pay for the rest of our car, and still 
leave hundreds of thousands in savings for us. 
But what the people here are saying is that the 
lowest price at which they would no longer 
reply "what kind of collector do you think I 
am?!" (^_~) would be so insanely high that no one 
in their right mind would pay it.

I don't consider such to be a character flaw - I 
consider it to be *COMMON SENSE*. ^_~  The fact 
that "everyone has a price" still does NOT mean 
the whole world is, or should be, for sale. And 
it does NOT ethically excuse profit-mongers, even 
if they are excused by law.

Many Sharp Smiles,
