Hey shawnna, I don't want to make you feel worse. 
My point was about the cel price to begin with. 
If you really love it - then it's worth it to 
you. I personally wouldn't pay that much for that 
nuriko death scene cel - but maybe I would for a 
Hoto cel? Depends. I probably could never afford 
one so good and pricey anyways - unless they are 
willing to accept paymnets o.O (read how I am a 
college student in previous post). 

And about dealers paying big prices for cels? I 
believe that. Maybe AG did pay $500 for it. They 
do get really awesome FY cels all the time. But 
unless they tell me they paid that much, then I 
can also think that they paid $100. (nothing 
against you AG). My point is that maybe SOME 
dealers SOMETIMES take advantage of certain 
collectors. I was using AG as an example. I 
understand that they are business that nead 
profit - but knowingly overpricing a cel is just 
wrong.

To blueheaven: I am so happy that you got your 
cels for so cheap. I am happy that you can find 
them. You are just fortunate to have decently 
priced cels. A hoto cel for $36 dollars??? maybe 
if it's a really crappy OVA one, or a tv shot of 
his thumb (**I should only be so lucky! ^_~**) 
And I saw your collection. Beautiful.
