Could it be someone else using Rinkya too? ?^_^?
It's strange how the second bidder bid in the last minute and still the auction didn't extend. The auction doesn't say anything about NOT extending. Is this one of those cases where something just slipped through.

I've found that if the highest bidder bids again, even in the last few seconds, the auction won't extend. That's my experience anyway. ^_^;

LOL! *glomps SME back* I need to start posting more! I miss my friends here.
I'm still wondering who won this Mahoujin Guru Guru cel lot from YJ in Dec 2006.
I'm obsessed with finding the winner. There is only ONE certain cel in this lot
I would love to convince the winner to sell to me.
I didn't know if this was a production cel w/ thick lines in places, a really darned good fancel/reproduction, or just a weird trick of the camera. I'd love to see it though.

Yes, that same artist has already sold at least three other identical fan cels in the past year on Yahoo!Japan - they pop up periodically. Usually there are a bunch of Mistress Nine fan cels uploaded at the same time, too.
I am surprised a bit at the ending prices. I know that some Japanese fan cel artists do command premium prices, but that high....whew!
I found it to be a pretty shot that caught Maria & my eye and the fact it's the last cel of the final episode of the first series was a bonus.

The Three Laws of Robotics:
1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

I just got back into the cel-collecting fandom after a three year hiatus and missed it by a week.
