  Wait a minute here...  We don't?  Jeez...and 
here I thought that collecting wasn't cut-
throat...that's why I monitor ebay, read this 
message board, look at update 
list...numerous times a day.  Yeah...right.  
Please do enlighten me...tell me more stuff 
about myself and the other people on this 
board? 

Give me a break!  Since you suggest knowing 
more than anyone here...where do you get all 
this info??  Are you the head of a big anime 
studio?  How do you know where and how 
anime studios sell anime cels?  Or are you 
some big dealer involved in these shady 
deals?  Or better yet...you must be those 
employees that stole from studio?  

Whatever.
