Why so much surprise over a couple of expensive 
cels?

Just because cels these days have been selling 
cheaply does not mean that collectors will NOT 
turf out large amounts of foldables for 
the "right cel".
You try and get a collector to part with really 
nice AMG or Nuriko cels from FY-TV for real cheap.

Just because cels from a series you are unfamilar 
with balloons out of affordability does not 
deserve an incredulous response.

I do collect from TM and yes the cels are rare 
and they probably DID cost vast amounts of money.
Nick (from Animechaos) hasn't started the bidding 
a high amount. He's only put a largish Buy It Now 
price on them. Depending on the reserve they 
could sell for quite a bit less. The Buy it Now 
price is SUPPOSED to be toppish esp for a 
collectors item such as cels.

I have bought from animechaos numerous time and 
his prices are generally very reasonable.
