Can you guys control yourselves from buying cels?
I cant control it, if i see a good cel for a good price, im bound to buy it.
I think it's more addicting then cigarettes.

If I am very broke and my mom is very mad, then yes.

Heh. I quit smoking some 20 years ago.

You can see by the evidence before you how well I've done controlling this other addiction

When it comes to something I really want I can't control myself.

I can't say exactly yes or no, but I lean toward no.

The fact that I only bought one cel/sketch off YJ so far this year and have only been somewhat interested in five items there in that time is very surprising to me.

I feel like I'm almost in control of my spending.

This thread goes along very well with this current one:

I really needed a sometimes catagory. Since I didn't have that option, I went with yes.

I love X/1999! Kamui is my favorite character. I went cel shopping for him and immediately found the cel of him currently in my gallery. I have never wanted another because that's the perfect Kamui for me. Even Inuyasha cels I'm very picky about.

On the other hand when it comes to a good Aki or Yuuhi or Omi or Li, I can't control myself. I even consider one of my Li cels to be the perfect Li cel but there must be more in my collection.

I'm addicted. What can I say?

If I see a cel/sketch I want, I will 99.9% of the time buy it

I have very little control on certain characters and a lot on others and I seem to go in streaks of who I want to collect. However, when it's something I have been looking for, there is no control at all. I'm doomed

If I want to stop buying I will have to completely stop looking...I confess, I am a cel junkie.

no self control at all...

it makes for a lovely collection but a very empty bank account

KT · Post by KT » Thu Feb 17, 2005 1:18 am

I don't have a bank account, but I do have this drawer in my room where I keep my money. I like to call it my "drawer account."

Okay so I know that was lame

Hell, I'm in a spiffy mood, and when I am in this mood, I'll say almost anything that comes to mind

Yes, I can

I'm getting more and more picky these days

I still regret not buying certain cels much more than having bought things. Of course I regret the lack of money to buy everything I want, but still I can't think of more than a handful of things that I've impulse-purchased that I wasn't very, very happy to have.

Bankrolling my daughter's auto repair has, once more, reinforced for me how very, very little this hobby costs me in the scheme of things...

Yue cel ... $100
Absolutely unique Dark cel ... $200
Absolutely perfect Belldandy cel ... $65
OMG OMG Hikaru genga set ... $15
Brake job for daughter's '91 stationwagon ...
