Well, I do have one cel that I did pay out the 
nose for, and I do look at it and sigh, smile, 
whatever every time :)

But, I think what I was trying to say (and I 
always get tongue-tied and never say it right, 
which is why I am usually a lurker) is that in my 
case, I have a tendency to think in a "this cel 
has to be mine" kind of way, and will stop at 
nothing to get it, even if it isn't high on my 
list.  I don't know how many other people do 
this, get caught up in the bidding and such.  And 
as much as I am craving Keisuke, I know if I 
upped my bid, and won, everytime I looked at him 
I would be mad at myself for overspending.

I also think that as time goes on, I get more 
picky about the cels I buy, what they look like 
AND price-wise.  For example, there is a cel of 
chichiri that I have had my eye on, and I 
absolutley adore it, but I can't bring myself to 
spend $80 on it.  Eighty lousy dollars.  I must 
be the crazy one :)
