I am new to this game of buying cels and only 
collect on one character (who I will not mention 
now).  My question is this.  I was emailed by the 
owner of a cel that I was DYING to own in January 
just about begging me to buy some of her cels as 
she was in desperate need for money and fast.  I 
told her I would buy that cel I was DYING for and 
she agreed.  Then a few days later (I'm waiting 
to get and mail that M.O.) she backed out.  I had 
my hopes shattered.  It was promised to me and 
she decided not to sell it. I accepted her 
decision and was polite about it (I'm sure many 
of you would have had a fit, eh?).  Then just 
last night I checked out her site and see "MY" 
cel has been sold.  I was shocked, disgusted, 
hurt, pissed off, betrayed, etc.  I sent her a 
nice email stating that I was supposed to get 
that cel and kept telling her I wanted it and it 
had been promised to me in January.  My question 
is this.  Is this customary for sellers to do 
this to people?  I find it rather dishonest and 
nasty to break a promise like that.  I kept 
emailing her every 3-4 weeks telling her I still 
wanted that cel, too.  Is this something you all 
would do?  If so, I am not ruthless enough to 
sell cels then.  I really thought she was a kind 
person but this was so horrible to do to me.  She 
has one more almost like it and says "Trade 
only". My other question is this.  Should I semi 
demand she sell me that one since SHE blew our 
agreement/deal on the cel I was DYING for? Is 
this something that would be considered an 
acceptable request in your opinion?  I mean, I 
would do it if I screwed up like that. I know 
she's getting rid of everything and she WILL sell 
that one too one day and I don't want some one 
else to get that one also.  Any tips on how I 
should handle this mess?  Thanks for any advice.
