Tenchi Muyo Hanken cel pricing

Hi everyone,

ok, I have this very nice framed Tenchi Muyo Hanken cel that I may have to sell, but I would first like to have an idea about its fair price. Silly question since I can't show you a picture right now... Let's say it's not too different from this one:

Those at Animaxis, don't seem to sell so I guess their prices are too high.

Tenchi Muyo collectors, what do you think is the actual market price for a nice Hanken cel representing most characters of the show having fun together? I just need to know whether it's rather $500, $1,000 or $1,500.

Contact me if interested anyway, I'll send you a picture as soon as I can.

95% off Animaxis prices sounds reasonable. At 80% off they didnt sell well.

You mean that cel is only worth $180?

I don't know if that hanken is worth $180, but I wouldnt even pay $100 for that it. That's just me though.

If you're looking to sell it, I'd say definitely price it under $1,000. I bought a hanken from Animaxis last year, but only because it was marked down to $600. http://zero4.rubberslug.com/gallery/inv ... emID=94454

Anything over $1,000 seems unreasonable to me, but I'm not a real high roller when it comes to cels. If I had to guess, I'd say price it somewhere between $500 and $700. You'll probably find a buyer.
Just my $0.02.

I think some hanken prices depend on what its from. If you don't even know what it was for, or where it was published, then its worth less than $500 to me. But if you know where its from, or even better, have a copy of the product, such as a toy packaging, CD cover, magazine, then it can be worth much more. Its worth doing the research and if its something highly visible, such as artwork used for the cover of a DVD or one of those posters, you can get a lot for it.

I agree, if you (and other people) can’t tell where the Hanken Cel was used then its worth much less than the ones people recognise like CD covers, DVD cases or well known posters but most of the ones on Animaxis I don’t recognise and I think they are pretty expensive considering that I don’t even know where half of them were used

A lot of those were used in magazines. A couple of them were the posters that came with the old clam-style video boxes.

Hanken cels are kind of a funny item. Some people love them for being unique and detailed, and then there are some people who don't care for them at all. In determining a price, it will probably all really depend on the pose people are in and the characters that are in the cel. If there is a nice image of Achika, Tsunami or Ryoko, I think your chances are better at getting more $$$. But its really kind of hard to say for sure without seeing the actual image. A ball park figure in my mind would be from $600 to $1000, but that could swing either direction pretty easy depending on a lot of things.
