I have read a few things in this thread that make 
me think I am just strange...
  In several posts it has been said that you 
don't get into financial trouble buying cels... 
well I do... sorta ... I have on more than one 
occasion OVERSPENT. I am lucky in the respect 
that I have a husband and a credit card ~,^.

  Another "odd" thing about me is "knowing the 
price I paid".. I don't keep track for the most 
part. I really don't know or rather remember how 
much I paid for most of my cels. There are a few 
that I paid over $200 for I do tend to remember 
that much.

  On the original question "Are you a high-end 
collector?"...
 Well I don't think so. Most of my cels were 
under $200. 
  On the resell question, I do (most of the time) 
think about that when I'm buying a cel...but only 
in the sense of do I think it is worth the price. 
I guess if I intended to get back the money I put 
in or make a profit I would keep track of the 
cost of my individual cels.


....."Does spending a large sum of money make you 
think 
twice about buying a cel (because there is a 
chance you won't recoup the cost), ?"....

    For this I would have to say NO. On the 
few "high-end" cels I own I was willing to 
pay "whatever" becaue I wanted them that bad! If 
I pay a high price for a cel I have no intention 
of selling it!
