How do you choose the cels you buy?

Dragon_gal · Post by **Dragon_gal** » Fri Apr 18, 2003 9:53 am

I was just thinking why I buy the cels that I do. Originally I had a plan to make sure that I had a cel of every saiyan. However, I realised that was going to be quite tricky, and as I collected I found that I had favourite characters and started to mainly buy them. Now I find I'm in the phase where I still have favourite characters, but I tend to just buy what I like the look of.
Where are you at and did you ever have a plan?

I have reached the point in collecting that I must instantly know exactly when the cel is from and have an interest in that sequence. Because of this my collection is growing much slower than it was.

you dont have price up there!, I dont look for anything specific, if I see a cel I like and the price is good I will buy it, I am not like other people who see a cel they like and say they must have it, if the price isnt good then I wont buy it, I would rather wait and get a couple cels I like for that price

Sorry Dragonball1080, I didn't think about that, but it's a pretty important point. Have amended it with that option! Thanks!

Price isnt that big of an issue, I have a goal to complete(Getting all of the cels in DB Room)

Hmm

I think all those apply to my cel buying habbits,
I have goals and I have certain characters that I look for most......
but I guess the biggest factor is if I like the look of the cel

It could be a
shot of my favorite character but if looks funky to me than I won't buy it
price plays a role as well.....I decide if the cel is worth the price to me

Really, I labor pretty long over weather or not to buy a cel.....have to make sure it's something I will like for a long while to come

I go for certain characters.

I also have to like the pose/ expression.

I, too, go for a certain character. But that character must also have a certain expression I'm looking for. Price is much less of an option- I'd rather have one great cel than 10 mediocre ones.

My buying habit is a combination of option 1 and 3. It has to be a character I like, and I have to like the way the cel looks. Everything else is usually trivial.

When i started collecting cels, i brought every good one i see especially Goku, i dont know if im starting to lose interest or maybe im already rehabilitated myself to just cels i really want, i only brought a cel from YJ for the past 6 months compare to 15 before

But im paying higher prices for cels i really want now, ignoring cels even they are cheap because i think saving every cents can get you a lot better one

Cheers

Combonation of 1,2 and 3...haha.
I probably collect by character more then the other options though.

BTW, Elot, your sig banner is going to give me a seizure...haha.

Mine is the way it looks, gotta like it to buy it, also the price, if I can't afford it, then I don't bother. There is a lot that I will drool over though

I buy scenes. If there is a cel from a certain scene that I like, then price really doesn't matter that much.

I buy cels that I like the look of. Price is also a factor, but I won't buy an inexpensive cel that I don't like. I'd rather buy a cel that costs more that I do like. Did that make sense?
