It's weird. I was looking at Mandarake Auction
and saw that someone had paid close to $500 for a
Gundam cel that was maybe worth $75. Now, I'm
selling cels from the same show that are far
better in quality than most cels of this
character, and I can't give it away for $70.
People keep saying that they want quality cels
for their collections, but when it comes time to
pay they shrink away. Folks, if you want good
cels then, most of the time, you are going to
have to shell out the dough. And no, I am not
well off. Like everyone, I have bills, tuition,
and taxes. So next time I see a post
asking, "Where have all the good cels gone?",
they are out there if you are ready to pay a bit
more.
Now, as for these people charging insane prices
for mediocre cels, that has always been the case.
Lately, YJ has been a place hwere you see the
same, unsold cels rotating back and forth every
week. Don't these people get the fact that they
can list those cels forever and they will still
be crap? Hell, there are two cels up under Outlaw
Star right now. One is a very nice Gene cel, but
it is 12000Y. Cut that down to 3000Y and you have
a deal. Then there is another Gene cel for 3800Y,
but it is crap! 800Y and maybe it will go. |
