Looking for a cel lost in shipment UPDATE: CEL IS FOUND!

Post by **sensei** » Sat Mar 24, 2007 8:21 pm

This is a cel from YAT showing Katsura in a wrestling outfit from a very rare scene. I won it off YJ , using Shopping Mall Japan as my DS, on behalf of Vapalla, who has an outstanding collection from this series. I recently had my SMJ winnings shipped to her address, since she had the majority of wins (due to my Lenten cel fast). When she unpacked the shipment she found (among other things) two Sailor Moon cels, a Kenshin cel, and a rather eye-opening hentai cel, all of which belonged to four different SMJ users -- and no Katsura.

We assume that this cel was accidentally shipped to another SMJ user, as Nick cannot find it at his USA storage facility. If any of you have gotten this cel in a SMJ shipment recently, would you please PM me or Vapalla at once?

Thank you.

Cool. I won the Loebner prize.

I hope you can find your lost cel here soon. I've had that happen a few times with SMJ, but luckily twice out of the three I've had the items shipped safely to me. Actually, one of the incidents was posted here on Anime-Beta about receiving a sketch set that didn't belong to them. I was able to find my lost sketches and the person gladly shipped them home.

So here's to some good luck and Anime-Beta member vibes to help retrieve your lost cel!

Aww, that's terrible

Not the cel, of course, but the situation. I hope you're able to find that cutie. Good luck!

Thanks, all, for the good wishes. No luck yet, but we're all hoping that it is in another shipment to Kira or another SMJ user, and that it will turn up early this week. Please let one of us know if this cute kitty-Katsura shows up at your door!

What did you do with the superfluous cels?
Send them back? Hope they'll cover the shipping cost to go back. >_0

Post by **sensei** » Mon Mar 26, 2007 7:27 am

Yes, we sent them back to SMJ because they have to go 4 different places. Nick is good about that, and the cels come with the stickies still on them that tell (in romanji) who they should go to (but alas it's still more common to find people who can read them in Japan than in the US). The Kenshin cel, for instance, was Irmgaard's.

So the cat-girl cel, wherever she is, has a sticky on the cel bag that says "n52443076 Sensei"

This seems to have been happening a lot recently.

I had that happen before. I ended up with a bunch of cels for the user kurowolf.

Ah hah. So, Kymaera was the culprit!

Thanks for locating my wandering VPM lot!
