Hello,

  I am the said seller.  For one thing, I do not
know who cel-collector is.  I will admit that
ayashi-san was an account I set up for a friend
since he/she had no credit card for ebay
verification when he/she wanted to sell anything.
  I didn't know before this is considered shell
bidding.  I'm not trying to drive up prices on my
cels...in fact, I have asked people not to bid
(especially on the card captor cel that seemist
bought...as I felt it was getting too high).  I
told the person who sent me a question...that I'd
rather *not* have him/her bid on the cel since it
had reached the price I had initially paid for it.
