Your response just goes back to the utter fact of
online communication: people only know about you
what they read or see. When people see you (the
royal you, not you specifially) spending huge
lumps of $$ on cels and a great collection - they
don't think "gee, they must save up or have a
great job", they think "wow, how greedy can they
be". No one knows that you have a crappy job, ten
kids, or in college, etc etc. Sure people
shouldn't make assumptions, but we all do it -
some more often and more erroneously than others.
As I said before, to you it may not seem that you
are on eBay very often, but if there's a nice
Slayers cel up there, and you're not selling it -
9.5 times out of 10 you have a bid on it. So
regardless of how much you have to save, etc etc -
people unfamiliar with you as a person and your
personal circumstances will see you as a greedy
cel addict with lots of money to spend on cels.
It may not be true, but that's what some people
will think.
I think you're nifty, have great cels, and am
happy that you can save to afford them. You think
they're worth it, and at the end of the day,
that's what's important.
Happy cel collecting!
