No dear, you don't get it..
I doubt the Japanese are staking out American sites checking the prices, dimbulb..   
Most of them wouldn't be caught near an American website because of the, you 
know, uh.. little uh.. ENGLISH problem, otherwise the Japanese-American 
connection would have been made a LOOOOOONG time ago..
Are you waking up now???

What happens is all the Americans bidding on Yahoo Japan..  They get on there, 
raise prices and that's when Japanese raise the prices, when they see how much 
you are willing to spend.  Japanese raise prices and then American dealers buy cels  
from them..  Stop blaming it on American dealers.  The people you should be 
THANKING for introducing you to this hobby.

And for your info.. in Japan..  it is that one Bebop collector who is JAPANESE who 
raises the price on Bebop cels..  Oh but he is an exception, huh?  He isn't a 
scumbag for asking 150,000yen for cels is he? or for paying 100,000yen for cels??  
He is ok because.. shit for all we know, HE COLLECTS FUSHIGI YUUGI CELS!!!  
Then he is cool...  
It's ok for HIM, RIGHT?????  What do you think of HIM?!?!?

Why don't you wake up?

And $1000 or 100,000yen for a Faye cel?  PULLLEASE, you are living in fantasy 
land!!  You just don't get to see the REAL good stuff from Japan, just the leftover crap 
on Yahoo Japan. $1000/100,000 yen for an A level Faye cel is a normal price in 
Japan, dear.  Wake up and grow up...
