Cels Forum

Being an on and off cel collector since I was 12, I have 
come to the realization that you have to have connections 
to get alot of good cels. I have been on the internet for 
about 3 years, and since late 1996 cel collecting has become 
more and more popular. 

Many new cel sites are run by collectors trying to become 
second hand dealers. Hence they buy cels from various series 
to make a small, or in some cases huge profits. Even though 
they might not particularly care for the series and are 
just in it for the money. And there are other cel 
collectors who help maintain or distribute cels for someone 
else, and inturn get first pick at the selection. 

Because of this many collectors have not been given fair 
chance at a selection. When a cel site advertises cels they 
don't have posted to the public it is impossible to get 
any of those cels. The only way you can get a choice is having 
connections with the dealer or being able to hack into their 
directories, which in both cases is unfair.

I have found myself unable to purchase many cels from some 
sites, due to the fact that they gave prior notice to certain 
customers. And It wasn't because I saw the page a day too 
late. 

All in all, you either have to have the connections to get 
alot of good cels on the web.
