Re: Selling cels ethical question (Fri Oct 22 01:34:24 1999
) Marcus http://www.dpo.uab.edu/~marcus/page-anime.html marcus@uab.edu |
I am almost obsesive compulsive when it comes to giving an accurate description of the cel I am selling or trading (damage, stuck, condition, etc.). This is mostly because I just cannot stand when someone does not tell me these things when I am buying a cel. These things I always like to know before I buy something. However, mismatched background I am less anal about, since this issue is probably one of the hardest things to determine even if you are decently familar with the series. The one clear way to know if a background is right is if the cel comes with the initial pre-layout sketches and this is only rairly done in most series. In my experience only Slayers, Esca SMJ, and FY cels consistently have the presketches or copy of the presketch if a cel is coming with the matching background. In contrast, anything from AIC (Tenchi, El Hazard, BGC2040, VP Miyu TV - I think that is them) will never have them or a matching sketch of the matter. So determining if a background is matching in these cases or with other series that are less thorough requires tremendous familiarity with series to determine it. Then again, the last two cels I got from you had non-matching backgrounds and you really did not tell me that that was the case. Then again, I had already figured out before I got them from you that they were non-matching and did not really ask. So I will give you the benifit of the doubt and the fact that cels were priced at a very good level. Just curious why you are asking the newgroup now about it, Marcus |
