Wishlist

Post by Blackmegabyte »

I don't even want to THINK about how i'd feel if i missed a Dream wishlist! There are two cels that I missed out on in the earliest part of my cel collecting experience because I was still too afraid to buy them!!

They are

http://escacels.rubberslug.com/gallery/ ... emID=86701

Both went for around a moderate price for a Dilandau cel on Ebay and you can believe there is not a day I dont kick myself for not getting involved earlier.... on the other hand, in the beginning I swore to myself that all I wanted was ONE, just ONE good cel that would satisfy my cravings--- after seeing and missing these two golden beautys I was like --- forget that- I have to take what I get.


BUt---- I believe that if I had indeed ended up buying either of these two cels I would actually never have gotten into cel collecting because I would totally, assuredly have been forever satisfied.... funny.

I also missed out on these cels:

At least all of these cels were acquired by Rubberslug members so I can still admire them from afar.

And even though I havent dared miss out on my DREAM cel (Webmistress Lizzy acquired the first chance before I became interested in cel collecting, so I feel I have an excuse Image) I am EXTREMELY grateful to SPINZUEY for letting the cel go to me when, at the time, I was an uppity nobody of a collector. I also THANK the CEL Gods for delivering me a DREAM cel--- http://blackflame.rubberslug.com/galler ... emID=92681
and sparing me THAT feeling.
Keep on keepin' on Dilandau.

I usually feel a bit down for perhaps a week or two for ultimate wishlist cels.. only about two spring to mind though. I think I'm over those now.

However having lost out on a cel that I know was actually accidently destroyed when I couldn't do anything about it... that one still haunts me. Just the thought of it not being around at all anymore for me to obtain pains me.
