How many inform-if-selling lists are you on?

I do not think any times soon I would sell my kenshin cels (prob if I die my hubby might sell them Razz Razz) so I am sorry but they are ANFS Sad Sad

We'd have to build you a little shrine with a picture of you with your favorite kenshin cel.

Take the kenshin's with you. My cels are coming with me if I go.

I disagree about it being hopeless on either side

I've had a few cels that had inquiries from certain folks
on beta and when desperate times called for me to make some
$ to pay off my tuition or car (

) I would almost always sell to that person
who asked about it.

Only 1 time I can remember that when I got back to the person, he wasn't interested in the cel anymore. Sooo.. that cel still resides w/ me ^_^ (which I dont mind at all lol)

On the flip side, there have been multiple cels/sketch sets I can pick out in my mind where
I asked the owner to keep me in mind and 5 outta 8 times they did.

I guess it all depends on the person is what I'm trying to say.

It never ever hurts to ask if you really want the cel badly

Shampoo is completely right. It depends entirely on which collector or seller you ask. You have to know the person first.

That was a very smooth response.

Flattery does not work on me. Now keep scrubbing the floors, you missed a spot.

Wait....There's an "if"?

I belive SEB is the only one I've really bugged. XD
He has some gorgeous Jura Tripper oversized cels with backgrounds. They're even ones that the "screenshot" was used for the LD Envelope illustrations.
I'd of course just die to own them, but He likes em too. So mostly I just visit them.

I know I was on somone else's list, but recently, she decided to sell them all, and

emailed me first! =D

I've had multiple offers on this one. Mostly from other sluggers/betaites.

I may live forever... I am perfect after all.

If I go, My future hubby will come with me also. If my heart ever stops a device will go off and make his heart explode, that'll keep him from selling my cels.

p.s. that goes for all of you trying to kill me so you can buy my cels.

I have a friend that I've bugged enough that I hope he'd sell to me if he ever had to sell them off

Every time I see him I make subtle mention of it anyway

And I hope I'm on one other persons list, but I don't think they'll ever sell off that cel and it was years ago so I wouldn't be hurt. I'd just want to know where it wandered off to so I could still visit

That's such an awesome prenup agreement, Robo.

Basically the agreement is that he agrees with everything I say. If every marraige comes with this device, it would drastically lower divorce rates.

The way to a good marraige is to "capture" his heart.

)

I'm on at least 5 people's "please remember me if selling" lists. I could be on more but I'm not sure. I know 5 people have actually contacted me first on several occassions.

As far as me making a list, I used to be horrible at it until I got organized. Now if I know someone is serious, I'll make a note in my private comments. I get so many people saying "please remember me" that I usually just brush the comments off as I really like your cel. But if there's an email seriously asking me, I'll make note of it. That collector can then see within a few days if I've updated the cel in question. If so, that means I made note of you.

But the selling does boil down to the almighty dollar.

the only person i've asked to be on a list is rei for her hisoka pan cel. which you can take me off since i no longer want to collect hxh cels.

i dont really have people ask me to put them on a list. i guess they know it's not leaving. i will admit if i thought something wasnt leaving me and then realize i'm not into that anime anymore then it'll leave me.

I rarely sell, but I do keep a list. The last time I sold there were nine cels. I ended up contacting 7 people. For a couple, the email addresses were no longer valid and 4 never replied. I ended up selling to only one person privately. The rest went to ebay. A big part of the problem was that so much time had passed that most of the collectors had moved on.

My current list has 17 names. As far as I know, I am on only one and it has been quite some time since I have contacted them.
