BWA....Anyone having any luck??

Just curious -- this is my first BWA I'm trying to participate in

and the $$ are

It's just amazing what things are going for....

The only reason I decided to take the leap this time was all the Sailor Moon goodies up for auction (yah, just jumped on that bandwagon

). I'd heard about the craziness of past BWA's but I'd never followed the auctions to close before -- so kinda shocked here

and the rest of the week's not shaping up too well, either

So -- question is: 'How's everyone else doing??' Anyone win anything they were going after?

Waiting 2 1/2 more days to see if I can finally win an auction in the BWA. Already bidding on the cel I want to win. Bet the majority of you who've seen my collection know which one it is. I'll give you a hint. It's from HxH. The name of the character shown begins with K and ends in -urapica

I'd rather not have to go all out on this auction, but I sure will if need be

Best of luck to anyone else bidding so long as it's not on the Kurapica/Ubo auction, and congrats to all who have won ^_^

So far I've lost 2 of the 4 items I bid on (one item has ended, the rest end at various points). This is my first time participating in a BWA, too. I've watched them for years...but never bid until now.

Good luck to everyone!!!!!

This year I have won the the first and really the only object I was gunning for: http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/auc_e/item ... 2070100002

There are still a couple of things I want, but after this win I'm quite happy....

It's been fairly disappointing so far, lost a dream cel because the bidding went higher than I expected: Ninja Scroll 1

- I then consoled myself by winning one on the rebound: Ninja Scroll 2 more than I should have paid, but *meh*

- Already I've been outbid on 2 Girls Bravo hanken genga sets and I'm not a huge fan of this series so I won't compete.

- Lost a batch of Mezzo Forte TV series genga in the Everyday Auctions which annoyed me big time because I was the only bidder up until the last 10mins then everyone piled in nudging me out.

- There's some nice game art that I'm currently bidding on and expect to win, from the Sega RPG- Shining Tears. Its Korean-style appealed to me so I hope I'm fortunate with this one too.

I think we're all seeing some silly prices, Samiamew, that's par for the course, but there are some great pieces to be had!

But Krafty, I think the one you got is much better!! There's nothing like that Possessed by Evil look to add style.

Cheers, Irmgaard, however the head-on one of Jubei had sentimental meaning to me.
I find that few scenes in anime mean much to me, but this was a special one that demonstrated his will to win, fighting for the girl's honour. When the anti-hero acts this way it often affects me emotionally

Still, I always remind myself to be thankful for what I've got; I'm not greedy but I know I have plenty of artwork to appreciate already.

Hey James, sorry about the Scroll auction, at least you'll know where to find it.

Congrats on the Kagero!!!

Congrats Birdie ^_^x Such a lovely cel- it's so nice to see that people can still get wonderful RK cels without it costing them an arm and a leg ^_^x

What did the Goku Spirit Bomb Pan Cel end at?

Well, I managed to pick up an IY storyboard on the every day auctions (great episode where Kikyou's trying the drag Inuyasha to hell with her

) but the BWA still eludes me

It's great to hear about everyone's success stories

and I'll commiserate with those in the same boat as me

I've still got a couple of auctions to go, but if nothing else, it's sure been fun watching them

Good luck to those still in the running!! and I can't wait to see everyone's updates when their beauties arrive

Wow. I'm shocked. I thought for sure Goku would fetch a heavier price. That cel was just awesome. Whomever won it got a great deal IMO!

This is my first BWA too.

I was in it for the Sailor Moon cels too. The cel I was after ended up going for $100 more than I could afford now. I am so upset

it was a dream cel. It was the only shot of the Moonlight Knight that I would give anything for. I am so extremely sad right now. /wah

So the BWA isn't going too well for me. I am just going to cry in the corner now
