And then there was the time you somehow found that 
incredible shot of Milfy from Bakuretsu Hunters to 
talk me out of my li'l Xelloss... thanks again for 
that!  I still adore it.  :)

Add me to the list of folks who agree that buying 
cels as trade fodder can work quite well, given A) 
the right group of collectors and B)... this one 
is key... a knowledge of the show you're trying to 
purchase from.  *grin*  That's where the original 
poster fell down, not in his or her intention, but 
in implementation.

Fortunately, an X cel should be simple enough to 
resell, and then... time to try again!

Good luck on finding the perfect bait for your 
dream cel!
