Your current acquisition rate?

[Lynxa]

I am so shocked! Now that I think about it, I haven't bought a cel in over a YEAR!

Of course I'm working my patooskie off and am in debt up to my eyeballs, so that's something.

Heh, I had to go through my gallery and figure this out.

01/07 - 5
02/07 - 8
03/07 - 4
04/07 - 1
05/07 - 3
06/07 - 5
07/07 - 37
08/07 - 4
09/07 - 14
10/07 - 2
11/07 - 15
12/07 - 4
01/08 - 0

2007 total: 102 (many of which cost 5-15 dollars)

This count includes gifts and is based off purchase date (one of the ones I "acquired" in Sept. is still sitting at my deputy).

Other notes of interest:

1. In mid April '07, I went on a one month cel hiatus. After the break, I found it difficult to justify buying the same kind of pieces I did before--which was probably good for my wallet.

2. In July of '07, I bought a humongous set of Escaflowne cels/sketches for pretty cheap.

3. In September and November '07, I did my first two split auctions, getting several nice One Piece sketches.

4. January '08 may very well be the first month since I started collecting that I haven't bought anything. Though I did win something this morning.

So, yeah . . . any time there's a number over 8, that was a month in which I bought sketch sets. I bought cels in lots in some of the other large months.

Ummm...I don't think that I want to answer this one Truthfully, I don't think I want to count them either

But today is Feb 1, so you've actually achieved your purchase less month!

hmm, maybe 15 cels last year vs only 2 so far this year... so that's 1 a month. that's a lot for me. it used to be much less.
