...my personal limit is at about $250. Despite 
popularity or quality, after that I just can't 
justify to myself paying -that much- for a luxury 
item such as a cel. It's fine if you can, but I 
can't. At least, not at this point in my life. 
The only time I might make an exception is if it 
was a hanken cel (I'm not big into hankens, 
though; there is one I am particularly seeking, 
but nothign otherwise).
