I can understand, but like said up above, the
enjoyment you get out of it while you do have it
should make up for the price.
I don't know anything about FY, but I do like
Gundam Wing. The cel prices are pretty high right
now, and they will probably bottom out when the
show comes off CN.
I know that and I still pay the high prices to
get them. Why? Because right now I'm going to
love the Heero shot I just bought from Anime Taro
all $125 worth. Sure, he might only get $75 in 2
years should I no longer like anime and want to
sell him, but I will love him the full $125 worth
until then. Then, the $75 I got back is just a
bonus becuase I already got my $125 worth from
the image.
So, if you don't think the cel is going to give
you $x worth of enjoyment, it probably isn't a
good buy. It might be a beautiful shot, but then
so is a Deedlit. Although a beautiful character,
I wouldn't give $100 for her because I have never
seen the show, don't know and love her, and
wouldn't get $100 of enjoyment out of her cel
right now.
I guess that's what is so fun about cel
collecting! Each cel is different, as is each
collector.
If you love the cel, totally go for it! If not,
there will always be another update. I am very
new at this, but I have already learned that
lesson!
I was so sad about losing a YJ cel, and then
there was this *awesome* taro update that made
losing the cel so worth it because I then had the
money to spend at Taro!
Hope you make the right choice! |
