I'd even take another step and say most of us are 
young, below our 40s and don't have many if no 
financial dependents, i.e. we aren't married with 
kids. How long do you think the huge collectors 
will be collecting, when they're married and have 
a family? Ha not very likely at all. Sure some 
collectors claim they are married and don't want 
kids fine, but if and when you do or if you have 
to deal with your parents medical bills b/c they 
are aging, who here believes they'll still 
collect of all things... anime cels? Also its 
good to know if there was ever a fire in the 
houses of those collectors that collect 
everything under the sun, they sure as hell 
wouldn't be covered for the thousands possibly 
hundred thousand dollars worth of cels. I'm not 
being malacious but thinking about it in a worse 
case scenario sure as hell keeps things in 
perspective, afterall like it for not, cels are a 
luxery item and definately NOT something your 
insurance company would cover. Other collectibles 
maybe, but they certainly would stand a better 
chance for coverage (something DEFINATELY to keep 
in mind). 

My modus operandum collect cels with excess 
money, not your retirement nor rainy day money
... and things become so much managable. And 
remember you always have a choice in collecting 
even if it means missing out on a dreamcel 
(whatever the hell that means). Think about it
will that dreamcel still be a dream when you are 
ten years older or when you are married? Doubt 
it, enjoy the moment people BUT do plan for the 
future; unless of course you think you have 
enough money TODAY to live the lifestyle you want 
to for the rest of your live & take care of your 
dependents. Most of us cannot say we are THAT 
well off now can we? Helps to keep that in mind, 
while one goes about their periodic cel hunting.
Caveat Emptor, Latin translated "let the buyer 
BEWARE", how utterly proper.
