My attitude isn't harsh, it's realistic and based 
on my observations of this board. I've seen one 
too many thread here about people who do this and 
that and why we hate them and why they suck. 
Threads dedicated to "those" kind of collectors, 
whatever, whoever, the "bad" flavor of the week 
is. Wasn't there recently a huge thread about the 
politics of collecting where many of the posters 
complained of the overly obessive and downright 
vicious behavior of fellow collectors? Come on, 
wasn't it you who got "thrown off" for announcing 
a sale? Seems a bit silly to me. Cel collecting, 
like any other hobby, should be FUN. 

"I will think they're nice til something on my 
wishlist comes around, then Id end up reselling 
them because they mean nothing to me."

But that is *you*. I was speaking for myself in 
my post. If I buy a KITE cel for the artwork, I'm 
buying it for the artwork and not to pass time or 
whatever trying to get a "dream" cel.  I don't 
have a "dream" cel or a "wishlist".  I buy cels 
because I like the artwork.  For example, Sailor 
Moon is one of my favorite animes, but the cels 
out there in my price range just don't do it for 
me, so I don't really have anything from that 
series.  Am I mad because someone else has the 
money for the good cels? No. Also, most of the 
cels I own I plan to keep because selling the 
things is such a pain in the butt and the costs 
are rarely recovered. I really don't think that I 
deserve to be called a bad person because 
I "stole" someone's "dream" cel.  If I have the 
money and I have the will to buy it, it's my 
business.  Maybe if people didn't spend all of 
their cash on piddly cels that they will just 
resell anyway and saved up for their so-
called "dream" cels, then they would have the 
funds to buy the cel when it comes around. Just a 
thought.   

PS. I didn't take it heart. I like reading your 
posts.
