...when I had a $100 cap!  The cel below is the 
one I broke that limit on.  When I bought it I 
felt a little regret...until I got it!  Three 
layers with matching production background and 
he's SMILING!!!!

*ahem*  Back on topic...

My most expensive cel ($250)was TOTALLY worth it-
and $130 dollars cheaper than the one I'd seen 
up for sale previously-and it didn't even have a 
matching pencil like mine! ^_^ So in that case 
it was a LOT better for me to wait, even though 
it's something that happened only once in the 
series (although I think Naraku should give 
Sesshomaru faulty arms more often so he has more 
occasion to take off his shirt...)

Depending on the character (if it's Chun Li-GO 
FOR IT!!!) You might be able to find a better 
deal some other time.  Don't do it if it makes 
you uncomfortable, especially if you don't know 
if you can afford it.  As for the 
girlfriend...well...who says she has to know? ^_~
