Uh Oh,
   Like Mina, I guess I need to make a statement 
about offers for cels.  I have opened up my 
gallery twice and I will admit that I wouldn't 
know where to start to put minimums on my cels.  
That preparation time would kill me.  I did try 
to hide some of my cels that I absolutely 
wouldn't consider offers for.

I do think that its important to be courteous 
and to reply to all emails.  Frankly I enjoy 
looking at cels that people put up for offers 
because its a chance to get cels that you 
normally wouldn't be able to buy especially when 
you've been admiring a cel in someone else's 
gallery for a long time.  I will admit that I'm 
terrible at figuring out offer prices, but to 
get a cel that I've really wanted then I'm 
thankful for at least a chance.

The first time I put my gallery up for offers it 
made such a terrible impression on me that I 
honestly took all my Slayers cels offline except 
one and about 300 to 400 cels off my gallery 
also.  This time I tried to do it differently.  
My rationale, for taking offers on my collection 
is that I'm accumulating too many cels and I 
need to slim down my collection because I'm 
definitely running out of space to store them.  
I'm always happy to be able to tell a person 
that their offer is accepted because I know they 
wouldn't make an offer in the first place unless 
they really wanted the cel or sketch.  I also 
think that I try to be very polite and prompt 
when not accepting an offer.  For me, when 
accepting offers, it's usually because I'm not 
that attached to a cel although I have sold a 
few cels that I've been very attached to so I 
really do consider all offers made.

To make a long story short, I don't like selling 
on eBay and I think taking offers or just 
selling cels and sketches outright is fine 
because it lets other collectors buy cels that 
they normally wouldn't have a chance to purchase 
especially if its a wish cel of theirs.

Sincerely,
Linda
