1) How long have you been collecting cels?



About 6 months now, though I got my first real cel back 
in September of '99 at AnimeFest.




2) How much do you spend on cels per month? (Average)

I usually only spend around $250 or so, but this month 
I'm hitting almost $600. -.-;; Need to cut down soon.

3) What is your favorite cel? (Post pic)

Everyone knows my ultimate favourite is my Evil 
Tamahome cel. ^.- but this is one I just got in not too 
long ago, that I adore greatly. Finally a Taka & Miaka 
cel, from OAV II. (see below)




4) Assuming you buy cels off the internet - what is 
your favorite site to buy them from (not necessarily 
where you buy cels most regularly)?

A lot of dealers have helped me greatly in finding all 
of my cels, but a very special thanks goes out to 
Nancy, for providing two of my top wishlist cels. Thank 
you so much.




5a) Do you concentrate on specific characters or 
series or both?

I only collect from Fushigi Yuugi, for various reasons. 
The main characters I look for though are 
Amiboshi/Suboshi, Tamahome, & Tasuki.



b) If you collect for a series, do you go through 
the trouble of finding at least one cel per character?

Actualy I am, but I don't consider it trouble. :p 
Actually all I need to complete the Suzaku Seishi is a 
Hotohori, and mebbe a human Suzaku. :o




6) Have you ever purchased a cel from EBay or Yahoo 
or some other auction site?

Yes I have, I've gotten some very wonderful cels for 
great prices off of Ebay and Yahoo, however I have also 
seen some great cels go way overprized and out of my 
affordable range, which pisses me off. >:/




7) Do you have family members who also appreciate 
cels?

Not really, when I get one in and show it to them, 
they're like "Yes dear, that's nice" then walk away.




8) Do you have friends who appreciate cels?

Yes I do, though all are online. :p




9) In the space of this form box (i.e. the entire message
   
cannot force scrolling either vertically or horizontally
   
in the reply text box), please explain WHY you think 
   
cels are so addicting - imagine you're trying to explain
   
to someone why they're so great.

I can't even begin to do so, and everyone else has 
already given plenty of good reasons.
