I too have a personal per cel spending limit, a
bit higher than Drac's but less than 4 figures.
Only once have I broken that spending limit, but
to me that cel was worth it and I have no regrets.
I did buy some other cels that were within my
limit, but later regretted it as they were more an
impulse buy. I usually eventually sell those off
after a couple of years as just don't get as much
enjoyment out of them. I try to control my
impulse buying now, where when I was new to the
hobby in 97/98 I bought about everything I liked
in sight and got myself almost into a bad
situation financially.
With your cel, I would wait til you actually have
the cel in your possession to see how you feel.
One time I was feeling a little guilty about
buying a cel as it was at the time my most
expensive purchase - but when it arrived and I
actually had it in my hand all guilt faded away as
it was so beautiful and it has remained one of my
favorite cels for 4 years now. If you still feel
guilty after holding it, I would consider trying
to sell it as it will be causing more pain then
joy in the owning. |
