Well, Mooks...you already know most of my cel
sob stories, as well as the victories :P~~~~~

Here's one you probally don't know.  This was
when I first started collecting cels.  I had
already bought 2 cels of my favorite male
character Dilandau, and was looking for a cel 
my favorite female character Kei from Dirty
Pair Flash. I had just discovered the Internet
Guide to Cels, and started checking every site
for my Kei.  Much to my disappointment, there
were only a few sites with DPF cels.  Then,
I found the perfect cel...awesome shot of Kei
poised for action, an Opening Sequence cel!!!
It was about $200.  

Due to my newbie status in the cel collecting
world, I didn't realize that cels got snatched
up so quickly, especially Opening Sequences.
I hesitated on ordering the cel...besides, I 
thought cels over $100 didn't go away that
quickly.  Wrong.  The next day when I went
to place the order, it was gone ;_;  I was 
so bummed out.  

But there is a bright side to this story.  I did
find a really nice Kei cel :)  And I learned
a valuable lesson in the cel collecting world:
buy now, think it over later!

Ja!
