I know I just started the "happy" show me thread, 
but I know exactly how you feel...so here's a 
little hope for you. 

About 2.5 weeks ago there were two MKR Opening 
transformation cels on YJ and I REALLY wanted the 
one of Hikaru as it was the exact cel that is 
shown on my wishlist. I was prepared to dish out 
quite a bit of money for it, so I waited and 
waited until the last 5 minutes of the auction. I 
finally went to place my bid with Rinka and was 
completely dismayed to find out I had a $300 
spending limit on my account. (I had forgotten 
about the limit because I have never paid that 
much for an auction before.) Needless to say, I 
missed out on the cel (which went for less than 
what I wanted to bid) and was really bummed.

However, less than a week later tons of Rayearth 
cels started to show up on dealer sites and on 
YJ. I've snagged three cels for myself, two of 
which are big time wishlist cels (including 
one "will give kidney" cel), and an additional 
cel for a friend, for the equivalent of what I 
was willing to dish out for that one cel.

Hindsight says: I'm glad I didn't get it! 

Here's hoping that you'll say the same thing in a 
few weeks and a sketch of a depressed Hikaru 
being cheered up by one of her older brothers. ^_^
