Well, I guess every collector can sigh and 
say "been there, done that" and I know how 
depressing it feels, but cheer up, Serenity-
chan!! There's always hope. One day you may just 
get online and suddenly stumble upon THE auction 
you'd thought you'd never see. Or be in the right 
place at the right time. You just never know, do 
you? So chin up, and wait it out! *^_^*

For example, here's a new beauty that I NEVER in 
a million years dreamed I'd ever see (let alone 
the entire cel-layer setup with background)! I 
swear my jaw hit the floor and I nearly fainted 
dead away when I saw this on YJ one day, outta 
the blue. O_o And now as luck would have it, it's 
mine. *dies of happiness* 

Best of luck to you, Serenity sweety!! *big hugs* 
There is hope yet!! *^__^*
