Re: Cel collecting pet peeves (Tue Jun 24 01:10:57 2003 )

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
