Cels Forum

Before reading, please keep in mind that I haven't seen the cel and you didn't say which character it's of. :)

I don't collect Shamanic Princess cels yet, but I've been looking into them 
because I plan to start. ^_^ Personally, I don't think the
cel would be worth $300 or even $150. That is a very tiny
image for the price. The $300 cels I've seen are very nice
and lovely with large images. Even the cels at and near
$150 are still nice and large enough to see without
straining your eyes!

Now, if it's of a rare character or a key moment in the show, the price could be justified......

Also, you said that one was offered to you for $150 and later 
another one *from the same series* was offered at $300. Do
you mean the same series or the same sequence? I'm assuming
from the message quoted above that they're from the same
sequence and that the images are very similar. If they're
not, disregard the entire message above!

The way SM prices are going these days......(grins) If it were a 
Sailor Moon cel, the price would not be that high unless the
character was really popular/rare and the person selling it
was greedy. I don't think that's a fair comparison, though,
because Shamanic Princess cels are more scarce and are generally
of better quality (from what I've seen).

*Who bought all the Japoro cels? I haven't seen one for sell in a long time.
