It must be silly seller day on Ebay!

Post by Labinnah »

While browsing through Trigun cels, I found this auction -
http://cgi.ebay.com/Trigun-Vash-the-Sta ... dZViewItem

Now, I've been collecting Trigun cels long enough to feel justified in saying that this seller is downright silly! $1800, poorly-centered, sans background, and the sketch might be stuck. ...right. He's correct about it being kinda rare (I mean, you almost never get to see Vash's eyes through his glasses), and it's from a really pivotal part of the last episode, but come on now! I can't imagine what he paid in listing fees to start it that high :P

LMFAO :cucu

Have you checked out their other auctions? That paper leaf confetti type thing for 45 BIN, I bet I could go to Wal-Mart and buy one for under 10.

:puzzled Why did the seller price that Trigun cel SO HIGH???Something seems kinda funny here!!! and how come the seller DOESN'T KNOW if the sketch is stuck to the cel or NOT!!! Can't the seller just look to see if the sketch is stuck to the cel??? :rollin it almost seems like a BIG JOKE!!!

If I had a dollar for every time that Baakay or I have sent an url to each other with a message to the effect of "I wonder what this seller is on!", I could afford that cel (and more) :D

Wow. What a deal. As a matter of fact, it looks like they have come down in price - only $1700!!

I don't know that I'd pay $50 for that cel...which is probably what they paid in insertion fees!

Haha, I checked it again this morning, and the guy bumped it down even further! Now it's a steal at only $1200 ;) I gotta agree with Jenn, it'd be hard to get me interested in this cel in the first place, even if it was more reasonably priced.

And I could be wrong, but I'm pretty certain that a cel similar to that was on YJ about a month ago at around 3,000 yen.
