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 :x
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 :o So now am working again :roll: but
still most money for cels come from savings :wink:
The nice thing is I haven't spent over 245 for any one cel :P

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. :D

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 :D

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. :)
Things can only get better, can't they??

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. :P

Nathan: I love that too! Owning your very own piece of something so great . . . :)

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) 8O
I enjoy all of these collections as art from one moment captured in time. :D

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!
