Someone get this collector a Nuriko! ^_~~

In all seriousness, we don't really think you're 
a bitch of the cel community. ^_^  You're doing 
the same thing that the rest of us do when we're 
looking for something specific. But the rest of 
us never say anything since we all know that 
we're all thinking the same thing.

My best for example recently has been for Vampire 
Miyu cels of Larva. . . There have been almost 
NONE worth owning that have popped up recently. 
(Actually, Miyu cels have been so thin lately 
that it's depressing me. ;_;) The one oh, so 
incredible one I was watching in someone else's 
gallery (on which I had been outbid on Ebay) was 
finally put up for sale but I was too late. On 
hold. >_<  Then there were two more auctions on 
Yahoo Japan - seller would ship internationally. 
I was grinning and ready with my ID to bid 
through the roof. I had put in a bid for the 
opening amount just to have the link in my inbox. 
When I went back the morning the auctions were 
going to end, suddenly and inexplicably, Yahoo 
Japan's computer was sure that I had never 
confirmed my ID. It wouldn't let me bid. >_<  
Later, it only took me 10 minutes to fix that, 
but it was 10 minutes I didn't have before I had 
to go to work that morning and I was forced to 
let the auctions end how they would. I lost out 
on the one that I had wanted the most - of Larva 
asleep on Garline's boat - for a closing bid that 
was at least 10000yen under what my max bid would 
have been if I'd been able to bid. Mind you, in 
the interum I've been watching Keep Track and 
Ebay and Yahoo Japan and three different Forums 
(in case someone posts a "for sale") and all the 
online cel sites I can find (*including* Japanese-
only ones) and I've stayed up late to catch 
updates and I've gotten up at the crack of dawn 
to catch updates and I'm even using other sneaky 
ways to get the jump on updates which I'm not 
going to reveal here. . . Still I miss out on two 
out of three. ~_~

Now I realize that the difference between us is 
that I'm not still desperately searching for my 
*first* cel of Larva. But keep in mind - you're 
talking about looking for a couple *weeks* and 
I've been looking for *years*.

So give yourself some time! Relax and don't burn 
yourself out! ^_^

And I don't collect Fushigi Yuugi. So if you'd 
like to e-mail me some wishlist Nuriko screen 
captures, I'll keep my eyes open. I might as well 
since I'm online anyway checking Keep Track and 
Ebay and Yahoo Japan and. . . . . . . . . . . .
