Well, I'm bored again tonight and I got to 
thinking after seeing some prices on cels 
lately.  I'm mostly talking about cels that you 
KNOW are overpriced.  I'm curious to know what 
other people think about this.  If say you are a 
major collector of a series that is neither 
popular nor very difficult to find cels from it, 
what would you think when you see a cel for sale 
priced at or around $140 when you know the 
particular shot isn't nearly worth $40.  I think 
it's just funny that somepeople will try to make 
such an obvious profit from selling cels.  Sure, 
if they make their livelihood on selling cels, I 
can understand making some profit, but just 
ripping people off like this is laughable.  I 
guess if they're going to price things so high, 
only a small portion of their items will 
actually sell at these kind of prices.  I'm just 
sitting around with nothing much to do tonight, 
so I'm just curious what other people think 
about this particular issue with our hobby.  I 
know when I sell stuff from my own personal 
gallery I'd *like* to sell them for as much as I 
can to help fuel my own cel habbits, but for 
pure profit...?  I dunno...  I kinda see it as 
against cel ethics.  lol if you wanna go that 
far....  ^^;;;

Anyway, take care everybody, and I hope you guys 
aren't as bored as I am tonight...   =P  At 
least Hey Hey Hey is on later.... heeeeeee!!
