Some of you have already read my favorite sob 
story at least once.

But yes, I actually found my dream cel on Yahoo 
Japan.  And yes, I WON it!

A week or so later I got an email from the deputy 
service saying that the cel had arrived but was 
so badly damaged that he was returning it to the 
seller.  I think I would have bought it anyway, 
but I didn't have that option.

So... until I recently took my gallery down to 
revamp it, I had the sale picture of Zel 
discovering the guitar in my Zel collection.  
That cel meant more to me than you could possibly 
have imagined and having it only to lose it was 
doubly bitter.

On the other hand, since then I have managed to 
acquire most of the other cels that were on my 
wishlist.  (still looking for that decent 
Hanagata, which just HAS to exist somewhere!)
