Anyways,
 it's terribly saddening to me to see this stuff 
happen over and over again.  Every day, someone 
gets blasted..over things that dont really even 
matter.  So, Eric's mad that Celga is sniping.  
The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.  
I think Celga does a noble thing.  If it wasnt 
for them, NONE of us lowly Americans who cant 
speak a lick of Japanese could EVER have a chance 
at these cel auctions.  They snipe...but they do 
it for us, the collectors.  Eric was unaware of 
them, and their ID, so, naturally he'd be freaked 
out to see them constantly bid hundreds of 
dollars on auctions at the last moment.  Id be a 
little wierded out about it too if I didnt know 
any better. 
Eric, no one WANTS to make enemies, but, you have 
just totally *reinforced* what is so bad about 
this hobby by stating that you have all these 
special ways to get the cels, and that you can 
get them at your own whim.  It's people with that 
mentality of "It's all mine!  MINE!  I can get it 
and you cant, PWAHAHA!"  This makes it bad for 
everyone, AND creates the 'us' versus 'them' 
attitude.  Instead of helping others, seems like 
everyone just wants to be the King of Cel 
Land...get it all, so everyone will grovel to you 
later for it.  You get no respect like this 
people.  Help others cause you want to help 
them....dont shell out fake generosity with the 
hopes that you might get something from it 
later.  And dont shout out your glory to others 
who may not be so fortunate, and then refuse to 
share your secrets simply because of some petty 
argument that happens here. It makes the cel 
*hobby* into a battle field.  You may not have 
meant it this way, but, it is this way.  If you 
live in Japan, wonderful, you are very blessed.  
But, most of us dont live there, so Celga's the 
_only_ way for us, even with the high fees.  
Eric, if you would like to help some of us, then 
do so, please, to help *people*, not to put them 
down.  If you were to meet us on the street, you 
might like some of us very well. There are some 
of us who DONT want enemies.  Everyone likes to 
point the guns...but no one likes to get fired 
at...and a lot of times, people forget to turn 
the safety on.  Peace?  Please?  Just for a while 
treat everyone like people, and not potential 
buyers or sellers??????
