Resellers?

I was wondering if anyone knew of any cel shops or dealers that would purchase cels off private collectors for resale? Or some kind of referral service? I can't seem to sell most of my cels, and I really need to find them other homes! It's not that I don't care to see them go to appreciative new owners, but money is tight and even at majorly reduced prices they don't sell on eBay - I only end up paying auction fees. Willing to do a bulk discount for resellers (so they have potential to make a profit since obviously that's the name of their game) at this point in time!

Any thoughts or advice?

I know that Curt (Asylum Anime) is always willing to look at cels that people have for sale, but seems to be quite picky about what he'll actually buy for resale. I'd suggest e-mailing all the well-known American dealers and ask if they'd be interested in some (or all!) of your pieces...

One thing to keep in mind.

Because dealers need to resell the items at a profit to recoop their expenditure. (Sometimes it can be years to turn over everthing) Don't get insulted if you are offered .25ct on the $ you paid for them. It's just part of doing business.

Like Rei said I would try emailing all the prominent US-sellers Im sure that one of them (or several) will take your cells from your hands. However like JWR said, taking aside that you will not be offered top dollar prices on your cels (although I do know that some dealers take on cels for a fixed commision and will try to sell you cel at the price you want to get for it), it does take *a while* for even most of your cels to be sold (sometimes it take a year or more). If you are looking to get rid of your cels quickly I would suggest posting your cels online to the community (like here, lol) if you have not alreayd done so... or you can offer a dealer your whole collection for cash (but you will get a very low price indeed).

Whatever you choose to do: best of luck in finding your cels a new home! ^_^
