Dear Forum,

Hi, well, this thread has sparked this question
that has been in my brain since I started
collecting anime cels, but I was too afraid to
ask before -_-!  Okay, I just hope I don't go down
in flames here =P!

First, I'm NOT looking for any hentai cels =b
although I know a few might have snuck into my
collection from various freebies or miscellaneous
cels o_O.  I am curious however on the hentai cel
market though =/, price wise and actual customers.
Is there a large market for hentai cels =/?  I
suspect there must be an audience out there for
such cels since several cel sites do have them
for sale o_o (and I usually try to avoid venturing
there if I know ahead of time), but I was
wondering how big that audience actually is =/.
Also, how are cel prices for those hentai shows
=/?  Do cels cost more if they show more or less,
ummm, skin or action =/?  Are hanken monos from
those hentai shows just as expensive as the more
general audience anime shows =/?

Like I said, I'm just a bit curious =/.  I know
there is a big market for pornography, but does
that extend to cels as well =/?  I've been
wondering since when I started surfing Yahoo!
Japan, I would often see hentai cels of various
jiggling body parts run rampant =P with prices
just as ranging (from really cheap 100 yen to
30000 yen).

Again, I don't mean to upset anyone by this
question --;!  Yann, please feel free to delete
this message if it causes problems.  Any insight
(NO pictures or graphic descriptions please!)
would be appreciated.  Thanks.


Sincerely,

Sonia =/
