The solution? Your credit card! :) (ahh, the joys 
of being in debt...)
But seriously, it's a lot easier to let go of a 
cel that you love if you sell it someone you 
know, or at least someone who you know will give 
it a good home. When I had to let go of a Sasami 
cel (oh, the pain!), I send out an e-mail to the 
people I knew who were also Tenchi collectors. I 
was able to sell her for a good price, and it was 
a great comfort to know that she was with someone 
who appreciated her as much as me!

good luck!
