I confess! I bought it! It was in pristine condition, and I am super excited about it... I haven't said anything cause I thought the thread was dead, but I am hoping to do a huge CCS update after Christmas. I have, I think, 6 or 7 new CCS pieces that have been piling up, that need to be put in. However, right now I am focused on getting all the Loveless up and getting that wing of the gallery the way I want it. I am also planning on giving the gallery a face lift at the end of the year taking down the 10 year anniversary banner, and getting something up a little less colorful, I think I'm going to monochromatic this coming year for Gallery design. We shall see!

Keep on hunting!

Congratulations, JD. I'm glad that the cel was in better condition than it appeared to be from the scan, and especially glad that it's going to a curator who will take good care of it from now on.

Thanks Sensei! It will be cherished, and re-united with it's Episode mates! All my Episode 65 stuff is in it's own book... If I acquire anymore episode 66 pieces I am going to need another book! @_@

You know what I hate to see? When a dream broly cel goes for 160K yen on Mandarake just to find it listed on eBay for double the price a week later.... :kaioken I ****ing hate flippers. Collecting cel's is a hobby and shouldn't be treated like a business. http://www.ebay.com/itm/331456047172?_t ... EBIDX%3AIT

^ This has been happening for a long time.

The only thing you can do is speak with your pocketbook. People only buy to relist on E-bay because they know they'll make a profit. If you and others refuse to buy, these flippers will be stuck with merchandise they can't sell and will be forced to either lower the price or hold on to it.
