   I imagine it must be annoying when you hear so much 
and can't contact him easily.  Faxing him would probably 
be a lot more effective than e-mailing him.

    Well, it probably is true that he does sell more 
higher priced cels.  And people at his table do seem 
to spend wads of money easily.  (I remember someone 
telling her sister to write a check to Rick for $400, 
and she made it seem like nothing.)  
    I usually just browse quietly through the bargain 
bin ^_^.  And maybe at the pencils.  I can't afford 
anything else. (Hey, I have problems even paying the 
$5 entrance fee to the Shrine Convention ^_^; )   
    But I can say that he has some cels that are overpriced, 
but he also has some nice, rarer cels for fair prices.  
It varies.

    I wish more people sold anime cels less for the profit,
and more for the joy of sharing their hobby.  Oh well...  
that's a bit too optimistic of a goal.

no job=no money=no cels
