Hehe, I kind of thought the prices were a bit 
steep too.  But then again, I only know about 
cels from one to two series.  I dont know how 
much a lot of those cels are worth, so I have no 
room to argue.  I do know that some of the 
starting prices were about on par with what I see 
at most dealers shops.  That might discourage a 
lot of people from the get go.  Usually, in an 
auction, high starting prices will just scare 
people away, even if the cel is really worth 
that.  It takes the fun/risk out of the auction.  
But oh well, I may still sign up...collecting 
from such a hard to get series, every little bit 
counts.  So, I may jump on it.  But...hopefully 
if any cels from the show I like pop up, they 
wont have a starting price of 50,000 
yen...*ouch*  On a better note, it's nice of 
Mandarake to include the online community ^_^.  A 
lot of dealers are saving most of the better cels 
for cons and shows, which I can never afford to 
go to ;_;.
