I hear you... a cel I have been bugging a seller 
to buy for many months finally decided to sell 
it--on ebay.  I can't afford it.  I was winning 
the auction by a lot untill today- now some 
newbie jerk  (sorry to all the nice newbies out 
there, but it's a bit frustrating when you have 
been trying for years to get certain cels and 
have someone more fortuante nab em with no effort)
who's never even bought or sold anything come 
plop down a bunch of money.  I guess it was bound 
to happen, with the end of the auction 4 days 
away I guess I should've abandoned all hope.  My 
slight consolation is that I might be able to get 
a cel that's not as nice (just because it's a 
profile shot, which I usually don't like very 
well) but it is more than I wanna pay. *whine*
