Oops! After thinking for a bit, I do have a big regret!!!

I don't have enough money to buy all the cels or sketches I like!

Mine would be quitting and then starting back up again. When I first quit I had only one cel book now I have over five. I wonder what cels I missed out on in that time span.

Took me awhile to think of one...
I didnt have enough money to buy a cel from Jenn-b and then when she updated on her for sale site I did but did not e-mail in time. Still want that cel... (couldnt afford it right now though LOL). thats about it. >_>

When I saw this cel on Ebay it was when I had VERY SPECIFIC tastes on what LoN cels I wanted. This cel I rejected because it wasn't very good quality. Yeah, years later I smack myself on the forehead not believing how stupid I was! Then I saw this on a gallery in rubberslug that said it wanted to be sold. I tried and tried to contact the person but nobody had ever seen nor heard from them in years. I managed to save the image of the cel before the gallery disappeared from Rubberslug.

BTW if ANYONE has this cel or personally knows the person who had it in their gallery PLEASE, PLEASE PM me I am willing to make a VERY nice offer for it.

Also, there was a specific LoN cel I had seen several years agon and saved the pic because I loved it so much. Then by my surprised I saw it again and it was for sale! I e-mailed the person but never heard from them. I put the image on my gallery when I had a LoN theme to it not thinking much about it until I got an e-mail from thezelgoddess saying it was a cel from her gallery. I felt bad... I still do. But I also feel bad I didn't check the original website earlier to see it was on sale.

I regret spending $400.00 and more on cels I kinda wanted but not really and then having to sell them because I needed the money back (mostly IY and SM cels) and I regret selling some cels I loved because I really needed money (like the cels of Kagome with IY's sword trying to save IY during the first New Moon episode 17 I think it was).

Also, there was an OP Lina cel that was on one of the old cel sites but it was high on price and damaged so I didn't purchase it. I did purchase several cels from the spicific site and never received them only to find out the site suddenly disapperd. Years later, I still think about that cel alot and I kick myself for not buying it when I bought one of the Lina cels at the same time. Hey, I saved the image! This is the cel...

Once again if ANYONE has seen this cel please, please PM me and let me know. I think of it almost everyday and I would love to some how make an offer on it if someone has it.

My biggest regret like many others, is getting involved in this hobby so late and hearing about great dealer sites that were around and their sales.

Same, I found out about the fact that cels were available FAR too late lol

I don't know how cheap DB cels used to be, perhaps someone can tell me? Was there ever a time when you could get a really great Dragonball cel for an amazing price?

I guess my biggest regret so far would be spending too much on items that were not worth it, instead of saving that money for pieces I wanted more. Meh...

I suppose it's a "live and learn" thing anyhow.

ya know i can never tell what that " worth it" piece is. like right now id really like this piece...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... :IT&ih=015
but im not quite sure if i can afford over two hundred dollars right now to get it. thats really not a bad price for what youre getting but… i always feel bad spending over a hundred for any one piece (i guess since i really should be saving instead of spending so much since im going to be out of work from the 4th of Aug to the 21st... so how our payroll works i wont be getting a paycheck from mid august to almost mid Sept.

ugh. but id really like to get that cel.

UGH someone give me permission to buy that cel because i cant get it from myself!!!
(lol, yeah i know im wierd like that)

man

Just had probably my biggest regret, at least one that's a lot more specific. I just lost a shikishi that I've been wanting to have for the longest time. My bid was a lot higher and was accepted by the deputy I use but somehow that stupid YJ auction never accepted my bid. No it's not Saitou nor RK related. Although I did regret being sniped by the same deputy service users several times on RK stuff. But those lost is nothing to compare to what I just lost this morning.. I'm still seething in anger and disappointment. Feh. Stupid auction curse.

Good thing a friend bought me a nice camera as a present though. I've been wanting one to replace the scans of my gallery to re-open it again. That distracted me a little tonight.

Only just? Where did you last see a shikishi that he or she have been wanting to have for the longest time. I know you are but what am I.

Never seen one like it cloud. Like I've never seen one like you either.
