"Dim view" is a bit of an understatement. I more 
describe my thoughts of people who buy from an 
easily available source, only to resell, as
"hostile". It further lowers my opinion that the 
cel (at least the first Inuyasha one) was bought 
without even knowing who was the character. That 
one was posted *here* (with a request for an ID) 
not even a full three days before the announcement
that it was for sale.

However, the other side of this reselling coin is 
that *I* saw the cels of human Inuyasha when they 
were both still on Taro's site - and as such 
could have easily ordered either or both for 
myself. I passed them up since they're not great 
shots - but I was NOT early to that update. I 
guarentee you that at *least* 20-30 people saw 
those cels before I did. And if they were still 
there when I saw them. . . . Rare characters are 
not worth tons just because it's a rare character.
People used to collecting rare characters are 
patient enough to bide our time and save our money
for a *good* shot of the character, instead of 
finding ourselves broke when the perfect cel pops 
up. So that is the other reason the cels will not 
sell quickly. Especially since the second human 
Inuyasha cel sat on Taro's site for a couple days 
(it was bought after the first was IDed), there 
are probably a *LOT* of people here who saw 
it/them and already decided against buying. If 
that was the case at *Taro's* price, people 
definitely won't be interested at a massively 
inflated price.

Just *my* two cents. Also, I fully and completely 
agree with Evil. . . The anonymous thing is lame. 
If you're going to post, post your name.

(Oooo! I'm a poet and I didn't even know it! ^_^)

Many Sharp Smiles,
