Ditto on the "not to be taken too seriously" idea.
- One of my biggest pet peeves is when dealers or
sellers charge more than a cel is already worth
because it has a background- ESPECIALLY when said
background hardly matches and isn't even from the
same series/show/studio. 99.9% of the time when
I get a cel that is on an unmatching background,
I seperate them. I'm picky and I don't like
displaying 2 things that don't belong together,
together.
- When you like an obscure show ( Drac can nod
my way on this one ^_~x ) and when you enquire
about it, dealers will magically find one and
want to charge you top dollar for it. For
instance, I once asked a dealer if they had cels
from "so and so" show, and the showed me one and
asked $360+ for it. I passed it up and later got
a cel from the same sequence off of ebay for only
$20 and in much better shape, too.
- I HATE seeing the same cels on Y!JP over and
over again that never sell but are listed at the
same price each time, week after week. There is
a cel on Y!JP of Misao from RK that I'm about
ready to buy just so I don't have to look at it
on there anymore.
- Another pet peeve is when there is a cel you
so desperately want, but lose at auction just
because you can't go up against the final bidding
price. The new owner gloats over the cel in
their gallery for about a week about how much
they love it and are so so so happy ^_^, and then
a week later it shows up on ebay with "Boo hoo I
hate to sell this ;_;". People resell, I
understand, and everyone does it once in awhile.
But it drives me insane especially when it
involves a cel that I wanted so desperately, lost
out on, and now have to duke it out all over
again on ebay with a much wider bidding audience.
I've got other pet peeves, but others have
already mentioned them for the most part ^_~x
