I totally agree about the hunt being the greater rush. But receiving it is also a rush. My story: EMS will make the post office deliver as soon as they receive it. The Sunday before Thanksgiving 2004, I received a cel via EMS. I was so shocked that the little white post truck would deliver on a Sunday just for me. But the next Sunday aka Thanksgiving day, he comes back to deliver again!!! 8O :D :P I admit I gloated to everyone. Sure its a cheap thrill but how many times if ever again will a government worker actually work on not only a Sunday but a major holiday Sunday! This makes me wonder, is there a postal worker on standby for these types of deliveries?

Gheez this is an old thread, when I first saw the link I thought that looks familiar, then saw the date :^^: LOL

I definatly have to say when the cel arrives, theres nothing like opening the packaging of a cel :D

Off Topic: Does anyone know what happen to Another Cel Junkie (Emily) She has some great dragonball cels :o

both are great feelings. win the auction is a better one in my opinion. it means that you won it and it's yours. true receiving the package is just as great but eh.

Knowing the cel is MINE MINE MINE! :evil2

I really like it when the cel is in my hands but too frequently I'm angry about something. One seller had the cel hanging out of the package by the time it arrived to me. Another time the post office left the package on my doorstep in the pouring down rain. I was home all day and never heard the doorbell. By the time, I got the package it was soaked. Luckily, it was well packed so the cels were fine. And other horror stories that make knowing the cel is mine better.

The best feeling is having the cel in my celbook though. :evilblk

I voted for "The mailperson knocking on my door is the best!", because i'm usually much more excited when it's finally in my possession. Knowing that I won my cel isn't enough, because you never know what problems might occure when in transit to your possession. So just knowing you won is great, but also kinda stressful.

For me it would have to be getting confirmation that I won something.

Sometimes I don't open cel packages until 2-4 months after I receive them so I there's no way I could pick the "receiving them" option. :D
