See, here is exactly the type of thing I'm 
talking about. . . I'm not talking about if you 
have the *right* to do anything about someone 
reselling a cel you sold to them. I'm talking 
about if you *care* or not. Because if enough 
people cared and refused to buy from known 
resellers, then there would be a hell of a lot 
fewer resellers! I'm not talking about someone 
who buys a cel and then a week later their car 
gets totalled and their pet falls sick, so they 
need the money - I'm talking about the "damn! look
how cheap this is, I can sell it for a fortune on 
Ebay" dorks that wind up driving up the prices on 
cels and getting in the way of everyone's fun.

So if that happened - would you not sell to the 
person again if they asked you for a sale, 
Msmsytique??  And are you glad that you didn't 
sell to the person in the first place after what 
you found out about him, Shura-chan??

The above quotes indicate to me that it *would* 
matter. **EVEN IF** there's no law against being 
a lowlife reseller. Sure, the person has the 
right to sell the cel, to trade the cel, to shred 
the cel, and anything else that everyone has been 
listing as an example of what new owners are 
allowed to do with their cels if they want to. 
I'm more than aware that a cel is not a pet that 
needs to be taken care of and treated nicely. . . 
But people you deal with in connection to those 
cels have certain expectations and certain ideas 
about proper conduct within this community. And 
reselling a cel you've just gotten (especially 
for no other reason but profit) doesn't rate 
highly with many people here - REGARDLESS OF if 
they have the "right" to care. Opinions of people 
are formed when others view that person's 
actions - and the people forming the opinion do 
not need to have the "right" to care about 
something you're doing before they form an 
opinion about you from knowing what you have done.

I'd be interested to hear what people think about 
insta-reselling. . . IGNORING the fact that they 
might not have the "right" to care.

Many Sharp Smiles,
--Drac

(PS - And, sorry. . . The owner of any store can 
refuse to do business with you for any reason 
they want. As a matter of fact, they do not even 
need to *give* you a reason.)
