How much for your entire collection?

[pastatdude]

I keep track of it, but I never look at the total.

Me too! That's what helps keep my sanity.

I just went for the last option. I don't want to add it all up. Of course, I've been collecting for several years now so that makes me feel a little better.

No idea... Not that I don't want to know, but I just ain't that organized. (And my collection's worth about a buck-ninety-eight to anyone on the planet but me! )

LOL - shellie!! There are days I feel the same way - especially when someone new drops by my apartment, sees the framed cels hanging on the walls, and asks.. 'what are those??' And I politely explain... and then they ask what they cost... when I tell them what I paid for my OP Heero cel from GW, their jaws usually hit the floor, and they look at me as though I had 10 heads. Oh, well.

I'll give you a buck ninety-eight for it, shellie. Heck, I'll even be generous
and round it up to a whole two bucks!

[shellie]

I always knew you were the generous sort, kymaera! (And I must lift that emoticon for future use! )

You tell them?! WOW! I only talk about how much my cels/sketches cost to fellow collectors. When my non-collector friends ask, I tell them it's none of their business. I think it's very rude to ask someone that. Then again, I am very tight lipped when talking about money regardless.

[kymaera]

Well..I was fresh out of magic beans, so I decided to go with the cash offer instead.

When my non-collector friends ask, I tell them it's none of their business.

I usually respond with "You don't really want to know."

[shellie]

You've got beans??




*snicker snicker*

[kymaera]

I had magic beans. Traded them to Baakay for her cel collection as I mentioned previously.

Oh yeah - I'll tell them if they're brave enough to ask. Most don't ever ask, thankfully - or I'd have no non-cel collector friends (i.e. they'd all think I belong in an insane asylum.... oh wait, perhaps I do )! But, the expressions from the ones that DO ask... it's like the mastercard commercials.... priceless. haha!

[shellie]

Drat. Kay got the beans already. Hmmmm... got anything sparkly? I like sparkly!

[Shampoo]

I know someone that needs to chime in this thread!

Considering how just 1 cel from Lain costs about as much
as my friggin rent .. I'd loove to know how much sanity
a certain someone has left after counting up the cel receipts

Scary when your cel books end up being your most valuable thing you own
