Interesting. Have you ever had the cash for the high quality cels so his or her cel collection is not that great ?

the only thing i use my computer for is cels and diablo 2

Amen! Cels and PC games -- what else is a computer good for?

I've slowed down recently on my collecting frenzy and have narrowed my 'want' list. Now that I'm in between jobs and balancing 15 units of science classes, I have to be frugal on my buying.

However, I won't ever be quitting collecting. It may have crawled to snail's pace, but the passion will never end.

I can't stop collecting cels, its addictive. I tried to take a break, but i ended up buying more :p

I don't think I'll ever get bored of collecting. There is so many cels out there that I want. But there have been times where I have thought to just stop collecting since all the good ones were taken. Like this one person has like 5 yugiohs and posted them on this other forum i dont go to often (This person had a cel of Seto, Mokuba, Yami Yuugi, Jounouchi and Bakura!!!) I did get discouraged when i saw them, but I kinda got over it eventually.

So yeah. I don't think I'll get bored till I have a very big collection to make me happy

I find myself too tired to smarm with you guys. I'll let you two take the lead for this week and I'll participate once you guys get it going...

As for collecting cels, I think I'm in the slowing down phase and have been for a while. Only when I see a spectacular cel do I bid to win. I know what I'm looking for now and those types of cels are becoming fewer I fear.

I'd have to say I've slowed down a lot recently too (or at least have tried to). It seems that when you don't have enough money to collect a lot you see major wish cels/artwork. Or at least that's how it has been for me recently

Of corse I can't let them slip by and I have to try to get them *l*

It seems I've been doing a lot of what Echo said too

Right now if I want something, I have to sacrifice another for it.

And some of the things I've sold I really regret doing so..

I have one major wishlist item coming in from Japan and I have another cel that I absolutely love (which I'm not sure how long it's going to take to get it

) so hopefully that will tide me over for a while

I am not even close to being content with my collection. I have so many things that I am searching for, it's pathetic! It seems like every time I even just browse around I find something that I really want *l*.

At this moment in my life I don't have a lot of money to spend on things like this and I actually shouldn't even be looking! I just have too many things to do right now and collecting cels isn't helping at all.

I have not stopped and haven't really "slowed down" much, but I have gotten much pickier about what I buy. Money is tighter than I am used to, but when the right cel comes up I just find a way. I can go months without finding an X cel that really excites me and then I find two.

I was going thru my cels this morning and am starting to feel that I have too many, but I don't really want to go thru the hassle of selling them. I guess that they will hang around for a while longer.

Maybe I would be more excited about cels if I had a gallery to share

I voted for: Are you crazy?! Of course not!

I started collecting Cels at the beginning of this year, and haven't been able to stop.
When I started I never thought that I would get this many.
I am very happy that I have been able to get so many awsome Cels.

It is very addictive, and most of the time I spend on the Internet is Cel related.

So I don't think that I'll be able to stop any time soon, altough my wallet says I should.

Will you finish collecting Cels at the beginning of this year and have not been able to stop.

Oh, I can't believe you would think that I would have THAT on my computer! **starts backing up files to DVD**
And if someone mentions a webcam, I'm outta here.

I think [quotesoda][quotepastadude]what else is more than that.

I voted slowing down because I'm at the point where I have to sacrifice one to get another as well. I never thought cel collecting would become as obsessive as it has become for me, and even though I need to give my bank account a rest, I just can't!

I used to constantly check "keep-track" every few hours, but now that I'm back at school I can really only check it a few times a day.

Same with yahoo japan and ebay

The decision has pretty much been made for me lately. I have definitely slowed down over the past six months. I have not purchased a cel since Anime Expo, which doesn't really bother me at all. There really haven't been any Outlaw Star cels out there that have piqued my interest, and the ones I did bid on were lost. Still, I have a custom painting on the way that I really cannot wait to see. I don't think I am ready to leave the hobby quite yet because there are still one or two cels that I must find. When I get those, I'll probably call it a day.

Stupid question

Are you tired of collecting cels yet?
