not only that but trades are supposed to be 
fun..not manipulative ^___^

when I trade cels I do it with people I know will 
actually enjoy the cel more than I will. Usually 
for a cel I like more than the one Im trading.

a good trade should leave both parties feeling 
slightly guilty..because they think theyve taken 
unfair advantage of the other person..but still 
happy cause they have a great cel now...

then theres the fun part, we generally have the 
series we are trading in common, so we can have 
fun agreeing and pointing out what scenes we 
would like to have if they ever show up..( shh 
heres a secret: sometimes those people will show 
you a cel that they passed on but they know you 
would LOVE..) 
One fan of a show to another. 
Its fun, ya know. like collecting is supposed to 
be fun.

if your spending time scouting for cels for other 
people and spending money on that cel, waiting 
for it to arrive...

and you finally find out that person you want to 
trade with is really attached to the cel you 
want..(cause it was a gift from their soulmate)
or even worse you bought the WRONG character..

and now your stuck with a series you don't like 
or know..
are you really having any fun?
