Since I am, for all intents and purposes, babysitting Taro
(a.k.a. waiting for an update) I might as well use up my
time in a constructive(?)manner...
1) How long have you been collecting cels?
A little over a year.
2) How much do you spend on cels per month? (Average)
In the blessed first few months, about $50.
(If we take into accounts months were I bought nothing)
Now? I don't want to think about it.
Some months between $300-$500. Easy.
3) What is your favorite cel? (Post pic)
It's not my best cel (or my favorite character) but I love
it. In my case, favorite cels are the ones that I
can place in the anime, and this scene was rather unique
in GW. (Plus it's a key master setup. No cel without
background could be my favorite)

4) Assuming you buy cels off the internet -
what is your favorite site to buy them from
Ah! Here I have to mention this incredible epic love-hate
relationship I have with Taro.
I love the site because you know if a cel is available or
not right away (instead of stressing for days and checking
your e-mail all the time) and because it updates often
with great cels BUT...
we have a little bit of a synchro problem.
I swear Stephen has a spy in my apartment building. Each
time I go out late and crash away from home (like, for
example, yesterday)Taro updates with GW cels. Frustration!
And then there are the nights spent waiting for an update.
*checking to see it Taro updated*
No update yet.
(btw this was written in jest)
5a) Do you concentrate on specific characters or
series or both?
Both.
b) If you collect for a series, do you go through
the trouble of finding at least one cel per character?
I would be broke if I did (even with my software engineer
salary). So I limit myself to a pre-ordained number of
characters.
6) Have you ever purchased a cel from EBay or Yahoo
or some other auction site?
Quite a few. You can sometimes get good deals there.
And you can sometimes pay WAY too much for a cel you love.
7) Do you have family members who also appreciate cels?
They will look at them say they are pretty and then I have
to manage to keep their minds occupied so that they will
not ask for the price. ^^;
8) Do you have friends who appreciate cels?
They pretend to because they have no choice but to hear me
ramble about Taro updates every morning.:P
Maybe I should give up and go to bed...
Naw... I'll check out Taro one more time.
