We have a few Tasuki at $50 and $60, fairly 
decent ones with visible eyes and large images.

It is important to understand, Fushigi Yuugi 
cels, used to cost 3800yen or less each several 
years ago in Japan, for all TV cels, regardless 
of character or quality (Hotohori, Nuriko), does 
not matter, all 3800 or less.

Many dealers were able to stock up several years 
ago at that price, these cels used to be in 
everywhere in Japan, that is 1 of the reason why 
they are able to offer that type of price 
occassionally, remember two years ago, there were 
far more active dealers compare to just a very 
few active dealers now, everyone used to update 
at least once every week, almost everyone had 
hand full of FY cels.

We never had the chance to stock up like that, we 
did not start dealing cels until 2 year later, 
whatever we have now, we had to pay pretty penny, 
especially for the higher quality ones, we still 
have access to extremely high qualtiy TV FY cels, 
but the cost is also extremely high, and it is a 
lot of hard work (it is not like we sit in front 
of computer and send a few e-mails or walk around 
cel shops in Japan and buy hand full of FY cels, 
not that simple, other wise every dealer be 
listing tons) quite discouraging and sometimes 
make me wonder, how much longer can we keep up.

There were several Tasuki and Tamahome TV cels I 
had sold on our site 1 or 2 year ago for around 
$90 (all cel images are still available on our 
server), I have just recently pick up cels from 
same sequence at 15000yen each in Japan, I sure 
every dealer go through similar experience.

Not everyone understand, that is why we only list 
FY cels occassionally, and deal mostly privately 
for the high quality FY TV cels, and have been 
thinking of making the FY section as a passward 
protected area.

Sincerely,
