I don't know maybe it's only me, but I think that 
those "minimum" auction prices are "regular" 
retail prices. I think that the "reserve" prices 
are set too high for a true auction. Mandarake 
takes no risks. I would prefer to go through a 
dealer. I find the same prices as your minimum 
prices and sometimes less, on "similar" cels.
I can understand and I appreciate that such 
lovely cels are being presented. And some are 
very rare indeed. However, my point is that these 
same cels can be sold online at those very same 
prices, and Mandarake would still benefit greatly 
from the proceeds. This auction is only asking 
for more and more as it seems to me. And you are 
trying to attract the greatest amount 
of "consumer interest" by posting here. We that 
read this forum have seen your messages and 
postings. I think "Tomo" that you are coming 
close to being a nuisance with Mandarake 
promotions. Maybe it is your job to do so. But I 
would like to see a "real" deal come here. I see 
deals when I go to Mandarake, because I live in 
Japan. But I have not seen such discount pricing 
here, coming from you. I have continued to see 
high prices. Why is that? When Mandarake is a 
second hand goods shop?
Of course, this is not for all of the cels that I 
have seen listed on the auction site(Yu Yu 
Hakushou is especially appealing ;P, maybe a few 
others) but in general I see no real benefit for 
the collector, unless of course, there is 
a "dream" or "wish-list" cel that they just must 
have! "Just my O-pinion.  Correct me if I am 
wrong, but I live in Japan and I go to Mandarake 
often. Dealers, Collectors, please correct me if 
I am wrong. Thanks. 
And Tomo this is not personal, I have done 
business with you, and Mandarake, in general, on 
several occasions and will continue to do so.
This is just my "O"-pinion.
