Re: Cel Collecting: Hobby or Addiction? (Sat Jul 3 08:22:38 1999 )

If its not obvious, I'm addicted to Ryoko 
cels.  :)  As soon as Pocket gets to sending
my order, I'll have about 150 cels of her. 
If thats not an addiction, what is??

When I first started collecting, my credit cards
got maxed out and my savings were non-existant.  I've
even dipped into my college fund for large purchaces.
I even closed Anime Chaos because of my debt, but thanks
to a great friend I was able to continue dealing.
I was fortunate to pull out of that slump with the help
of some good friends.  But now I got Anime Chaos and
I'm just happy!  :)  

But anyway, I was collecting a lot of different cels
from a lot of series.  It was draining me to death.
Eventually I got it down to just a few series, but that
still was expensive.  Some of you may wonder why I start
collecting some cels and then I end up selling them or
putting them on Ebay, its because I NEEDED the cash, I
didn't really want to sell the cels. Anyway, I finally
got it down to just Ryoko, and I've been doing just 
fine.  :)  Only recently have I had the confidence to 
collect a second characer. I only hope no surprise bills come up or I may have to sell a few of them to recoup.

But then I end up looking at other Ryoko galleries such
as Yann's and my other friends.  I just kinda drool and
try to find a way to get the cels off them.  ^_^;;  Some
day I'll find a way....some day.  :)

Even now I have to keep a flow of cash coming in.  If not,
then I can't afford the Ryoko cels.

Just be glad you don't collect diamonds or gold chains, but
depending what cels you collect, it may be cheaper.
