$350 for Settei? (another "why so high?")

I understand that Mononoke is extremely rare and very loved by it's fans, but $300 for some Settei? These aren't like... REAL settei, they're merely copies ("normal" settei sheets), right?

Maybe someone was drunk?

Or maybe they thought that they where
real???? I once bid on something that I thought was real (big mistake to bid before waiting for them to add the description)
But still, they are Settei....so that's weird....I'm sure that if you wait a while more settei from this show will pop up.....

Maybe the seller uses it as a base to create/sell their own copies? Sounds foolish i know, but i am perplexed as well

If I knew which copy settings would go up in price a lot, I would invest in those. I'd try to go after the color copies.

Imagine buying a $40 copy settei and later sellling it for $200. Some copy setteis go in the $650 to $850+ range, but that seems to be unusual.

$300 may seem a lot but I've spent almost as much as that on 2 sets before. These weren't even 'popular' shows either (compared to a Ghibli production) but it depends if you have any competition from other fans.

For those interested in knowing what the two series I bought were, they were Angel Blade and Yamibou.

Sounds like Krafty is a High Roller.

*Ha ha* I wish!
A while back I was in the habit of spending ALL my money on anime artwork; I've now cut back significantly as I've been buying video games, having my tattoo finished off and trying to pay off some of my credit cards.

However the last weekend I bought a cel from Mezzo Forte. That was $266 but I don't want to slip back to my old ways!
