Hello, I recently joined this forum so I'll just say this is my first post. Yeehaa yeah yippee whatever. My real reason for posting is to ask a question that could possibly help me in my hunt for cels.

What websites do you (personally) use to buy/find/sell cels?
I know of mandarake and yahoo japan (I recently bought a cel from yahoo japan making it my very first cel too) but I am curious if I could be exposed to more possibilities. Thanks for your time everyone, from what I've read this seems like a great place to stay!

So obviously Ebay is a common source for cels. Other than that, I recommend checking out a list of dealers at: http://www.cels.org/

Also, you can see updates of dealer websites at: http://mise.x25.se/pub/keeptrack/

Apart from these sources, checking out Beta and the Animanga forum for offer/sales periods and making offers of your own to hosts of galleries amenable to them is a good way of finding cels.

Good luck and welcome to the forum.

Also, set up a gallery. It's always fun to see new artwork.

thanks for the list! I don't have a scanner, but the person who sold me the cel scanned it so I have a small picture of it here:

Left is obviously the DVD source and the right is the actual cel.
I've been heavily interested in Evangelion cels even though I'm quite broke and still paying for this one, but I think I will pursue them in the future.
I also have a naruto genga set which includes about 27 sheets of 5 genga, 7sketches, and the rest douga of Naruto hanging upside down from a tree when Kakashi catches him in the trap. If I ever get a scanner or more into this hobby I'll be sure to make a gallery.

Nice Asuka.

Also, that's a really great scene from Naruto. The earliest episodes were the best ones, at least for me.

welcome to the forum!

me i personally buy from ebay and other collectors online when they have their stuff for sale (seems these days everyone's selling something).
ive also had good experience with angelic-layer.com (and thats the only site ive ever bought from. i know there are some out there... that keeptrack site killua gave you is great for updates on various sites).

good luck on your hunt!
