I don't buy expensive cels...the most expensive cel I had bought is $150.
The cheapest (Not quality wise, its a very cool cel, %90 painted
) cel I bought was $0.80...
Usually I buy cels in the $0.01~$50 range. I just save whenever I can and whatever I can...
EDIT::
Also, thats not what KIND of collector I am, I collect for myself for my own personal reasons, I buy what I like and I like what I buy.
So please clarify what this topic is about...

I have a Saturday job and get £18 (about $30) a day (9am to 4pm). This is really crap pay compared with most 16 year olds who have got good GCSE results, but then again it is better than nothing.
Also I don't spend all my money on cels so I have to really save up to get good cels.
The most expensive cel I have cost about $250, which is a Pan cel of Kaioshin Gohan with a bit of his sword, which took me ages to save up for.

Hmm actually all my cels were bought with my savings.
you see I had a good job but then I quit because it was terrible
then I had some little health problems so I didn't work for about
6 months. During that time I sold a harley-davidson I had, the money from that was suppose to be for another one but most of it went to
other stuff including my ccels
So now am working again
but
still most money for cels come from savings
The nice thing is I haven't spent over 245 for any one cel

Well, I had a ton of money after I sold my Condo, so I bought a car, put about $36,000 down on a house of my own, and the rest went to my Cel's and other silly things that I probably shouldn't have spent money on.
I'm into all the Kung-Fu movies as well, so I just buy DVD's up like crazy. And of course, the Anime is on my DVD list as well.. heh heh
I'm pretty much dried out now, so I started to sell my figure and tape collection so I can get more money to buy Cel's. hee hee
I guess you can say I'm a compulsive spender. I spend first and then worry later.

Well . . . I work. A lot. Crazy. Overtime is a beautiful thing (even if my job sometimes isn't). *shrug* I also don't spend money on things I probably should, like nice clothing (looks down at her ruined jeans sheepishly) even though all bills MUST be paid.

I work all the time I have outside of school but get paid a big sack of money that then changes into cels. Then come home from work at nights and stare at my cels before collapsing tired on the floor.
Wish i had more time to look at my babies.

I have a successful Architecture firm, so money isn't an issue. I have probably spent about 5K this year on cels, but that is a lot less than my former addictions (I had 14 antique cars at one point and still have 20 antique weapons that are 400-500 years old)
I enjoy all of these collections as art from one moment captured in time.

I'm an independent millionaire. I buy cels to wipe my backside because they're so slick and the paint on the acetate gives it that "just right" grip that I need. I prefer cels of Mister Popo or Oozaru Vegita because they kind of (shall we say) 'blend in' with my business a bit better than some of the other characters. Unfortunately, that's why there are no Popo's/Oozaru in my gallery - I go through them too quick ... the cels in my gallery are in the 'ready bay' so to speak. Oh well.... (throws sweater around shoulders) ... ta!
