Heh, I haven't ever decided what to do with mine. I have a pile of 'em in an extra cel case -- I had the grandest intentions of scanning them and putting them up somewhere in my gallery to be identified or something, but never got that far. Haven't had the heart to just trash 'em or line my rabbit's cage with them :D

I usually give them away as freebies whenever I sell a cel.

Let someone else deal with them! :P

Most of mine are gone.
Only one or two I have a faint interest about at this point I kept.
The rest went kablooey.

So far, I've been lucky that the freebies I've gotten have been good ones, so
I've kept them all.

i have tons of them.
While i consider that most of them are "garbage" there are several/many that would get decent prices on ebay. Comes to my mind Gundam Wing, Maison Ikokku, KOR...... I never have the time to decide what to do with these, but i keep them (without scanning them of course) just in case they may become useful in the future (not likely)

Oh...yeah...now where did I put those /hmm I usually keep my freebies in one little container, and forget about them to be honest. I don't even have any of them listed in my gallery, although not not all of them are horribly bad, I might have to get around to putting them up sometime....

Well, all of my freebies have been posted in my gallery. I've received emails with offers for some. Others I listed here if anyone was interested. And still others I've listed on ebay. I generally ask for only a couple of dollars. That helps with all the various fees and shipping. The ones I've listed on ebay were "mainstream" animes that I got an extra cel of. I thought someone could be interested and was right. There have also been a few times when I sell a cel I throw in a freebie in just because. :wink:

I've only gotten freebies a couple of times, but once I got a couple decent cels as freebies! I went and sold them on ebay for like $80. I was pretty happy about that one... :D

You know you've bought a crappy cel when you received the package and can't figure out which one the freebies are. :D
