Uhm, you're missing the point slightly.   I 
overpaid for the cel, that's the problem.  Had I 
paid what it was really worth with the damage Id 
be much less upset.  As for selling the cel after 
I restore it, I couldnt sell it, it'd be 
worthless in the eyes of the community.  I didnt 
buy the cel with the intention of ever selling 
it, but the damage makes me much less atatched to 
it.  If my kid needs clothes sometime in the 
future, I might part with the cel...but the fact 
that it would be restored makes it worth 
nothing.  The whole reason behind my being upset 
is I paid about 4 times what the cel was really 
worth with the damage.  And, I have to pay even 
more now to get it fixed.  In all honesty, Id 
rather have not gotten it, and waited for another 
cel to come along in better condition.
